Sterling Hills Golf Club
About
Sterling Hills Golf Club sprawls across acres of lush countryside surrounded by avocado groves and citrus orchards. The layout winds through the verdant hills between Oxnard and Ventura. The club opened in 1999 as the only public golf course in Ventura County. The layout is player-friendly enough for beginners to still feel comfortable but it also packs a considerable amount of challenges. The versatile layout balances areas of wide-openness with target-style golf. There is contoured mounding along the fairways and some interesting elevation changes. Thanks to the hilly terrain, there is hardly a flat lie to be found. Although Sterling Hills is still relatively young, there are some mature eucalyptus trees throughout. Golfers can warm-up on the driving range, chipping area, or putting green before the game since a bucket of range balls is included with the round.

Hello, miranda1999. Thank you for visiting us at Sterling Hills Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
very improved course
The new owners have done a lot to improve this course. For me, what is great is that they have added women's tee boxes that allow for easier play and improved the pace of play. If you want a more challenging day, there are other tee boxes to pick from - 8 options in all!

Improvements
I understand the course irrigation system is now being monitored by computer.
Great idea and I am glad to to see this improvement to the course not only will it conserve the water consumption but make the entire course very playable, The new carts are also great!

Course review
Enjoyed course and landscaping grounds maintenance. Price was a bit high and would be better to lower and eliminate voucher.

Sterling Hills
I used to play this course once or twice a week. I don’t play there as often because of the way they have restructured the fees.
I am a senior and I like to walk. They include a coupon for lunch that I must pay for even though I don’t want to eat the lunch they offer.
At one time they had a good restaurant where I liked to eat but I don’t want hot dogs and chips!
I would like to play sterling more often since it is a nice layout but I feel like I am being scammed every time they hand me the free lunch coupon.
Fantastic course with friendly staff
Sterling Hills is re-emerging as a Gem that it was many years ago. The greenskeeper has really done an amazing job of repairing the fairways. Where there was once bare and dead spots in the last couple of years, is now filled in with lush grass.
All fairways are now filled-in, tee boxes are flat and well covered with grass. Greens are in great shape and putt consistently from one to the other. The staff here is great as well all around the property. I have attended a wedding and the families of the Bride and Groom were delighted with the service.
I've enjoyed playing this course since it was first developed and it is so great to see it re-emerge as the Gem it was while a couple of other courses I play are sadly declining badly.
Hats off to the owners of this fine course for all of the improvements they have made while still keeping this one affordable.

Had to wait at EVERY hole
Unbelievable slow play, had to wait at EVERY hole. Quit at 12 holes. Over 3 1/2 hours. They need to fix it. second time this has happened in the last month

Sterling Hills
My wife and I love Sterling Hills, even though the prices seem t be rising on a regular basis lately.
We love the course and the lunch vouchers...
There is ONE Glaring problem that we have - - the new putting green is pathetic...it's like an afterthought. I guess the weddings have the priority now and we lost the putting green from before but this new green is on a slope and there's no fun practicing on it. This club is topnotch except for this green.

Hello, RyanAyanian. Thank you for visiting us at Sterling Hills Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great course
Course was great considering it was wet from the early morning rain. Upgraded golf carts were very nice and comfy. Nice that they include a meal voucher and small bucket of warm up range balls. Cost per person reflects mentioned add-ons. Staff ran the course very organized and we saw the marshall 3 times helping pace of play. Overall cant complain. It was a great experience and will play here again.

Friday Golf
Course was in good shape and a great value if you can get a hot deal. Pace of play on the front side was pathetic. Cart girl called the Marshal for us at the 6th when our patience had hit a new low.
We apologize for the slow pace of play you experienced on the front side of the course, and we appreciate your patience. We are glad that our cart girl was able to assist you by calling the Marshal. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Good day!
The course is overall good. Biggest problem is always with other players hitting balls into people. The only time I’m not moving forward is when someone else in front of me isn’t moving. I wish they’d regulate that better.
