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.

If they put some money it it..
This course is fun. Could be better, could be a lot worse. If they put money in it you would have to pay more. I just wish the rough was a little longer. Because right now it’s not very penalizing. But the greens are fantastic! My son and I enjoyed this place.
Nice layout
I really enjoyed the combo tees. Good mix of holes.

Pace of play is horrible, great course though
I love this course but lately the pace of play has been unbareable. My last round was almost 6 hours long on a Thursday afternoon….

Fun day of golf
It was a fun day of golf. The green were very challenging and pin placement was unforgiving. The employees were extremely friendly making it a wonderful day. Sadly the grill and bar is not very comfortable or welcoming. It’s a stale metal corner bar without TVs for sports. It could use a warming up. After golf Saturday at 5:30pm would be the perfect time for a relaxing cocktail but the sterile pub grill wasn’t very enticing.
