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.

Current Conditions at Sterling

Sterling is usually a nice round for me, if the pace of play is ok, and today it was fine. Foursome played in just over 4 hrs. Weather always nice in Camarillo, with nice views. Current Conditions are pretty good. The kikuyu grass has its usual challenges. Fairways are spotty. You might want to play preferred lies with your buddies. The best part of Sterling lately is the greens. They roll nice and true. Some of the best of the public courses in Socal.

I think your fees are too expensive. Don’t include the lunch and reduce it to $45-50 comparable to others in the area. $20 fir a chicken sandwich is too much.

Sterling Hills

This course used to be very nice. Now it's hard a rock and it looks like they are experiencing problems with the irrigation system (very wet spots surrounded by dry). They tore up their putting green to use the area for weddings and replaced it with a new putting area with sod that was cannibalized from other areas on the course and the ball will hardly roll on it. Combine that with the dry playing conditions, probably caused by the "enlightened" policies of our idiot of a governor, and you can't but help feel that you didn't get your money's worth.

Getting better

It's been over a year since we have played Sterling Hills and we were all quite impressed with the improvements that have been made to the clubhouse, range and course.

Kudos to the owners/managers for their investments, which are paying dividends to the players.

A great value for the experience and we plan to return again soon...
