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.

Great day a the Course
Course is in the best shape I’ve seen in awhile. Staff friendly and helpful. Didn’t order any food
6 somes?
They put a out a 6 some a few groups in front of us and a fivesome right in front of us. They were SOOO slow!
Hello, HaroldHale. 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 condition just one thing
Staff get watering the fairways? Tee’d off into sprinklers on 1, and had a sprinkler in my face on a tee box on another but overall a great course
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the sprinklers on the fairways and tee boxes. We appreciate your understanding and hope you had an enjoyable overall experience at our course.
Spectator fee
Today we booked a threesome to play, but we had one spectator with us who is sick and cannot play. We were charged $16 for her cart plus $10 for spectator, so $26 for that person. This is absolutely insane. A single rider is usually charged only $5 more, so why do they charge so much more for a single spectator? I even checked the website and there is no mention of a spectator fee of $26. The receipt we were given doesn't mention the spectator fee either.

New carts
So, Sterling is a very good track to play. It appears that they are making an effort improve the bathrooms and they have brand new carts. The price to ride is now $22 with or without sharing? I think it would be more fair to have a shared cart price which is less than a single cart price.
The staff is always going out of there way to help you with any issues. The snack concession was understaffed and cause a back up at the turn. All in all this is a nice place to play for the money!

Great day on great course
I really like the way they host golfers. Friendly and act like they are genuinely happy to have you there to play. Course is in good shape. Just a few spots of standing water/mud but nothing to affect playability.

Played 12 holes only
There was a high school tournament scheduled for 1:00, thus we only got to play 12 holes. This was not known to me until I checked in. Starter said this was scheduled thus GOLFNOW should have known.

Perfect day for Golf and a walk
Amazing Course! I have played here for over 20 years and it is still in great condition. Challenging and beautiful. Easy 6.5 mile - fairly flat walk. This is a bonus as I love the exercise.

What happened to Sterling Hills
We have been playing this course since we moved to Camarillo 12 years ago. Never found the fairways in such poor condition. Unfortunately we won’t be coming back. It was such a great course until now

The course was short but tough.
The championship tees are not that far back. However the tees were decent and the fairways were well kept. The rough was punishing but not round ending. Greens were slow but you still had to pay attention to the breaks.

Not worth the Trip
This course has the bones to be such a great in shape track but 0 effort from staff to actually make it so. Over grown on shrubbery. Around every green. Absolutely 0 effort of course beautifications. Staff was unfriendly and Uni inviting. Putting green was a joke. Food and beverage area looked dirty and sticky. I will not be playing here again unless it’s free.
