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.

LOVED THE GOLF AND THE THREE GENTLEMEN I PLAYED WITH.
GOLF COURSE WAS IN DECENT SHAPE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS WHILE I WAS ENJOYING MY ROUND OF GOLF , SOME INDIVIDULAL/INDIVIDUALS DECIDED TO STEAL MY TRUCK FROM THE PARKING LOT QUITE CLOSE TO THE PRO SHOP. I NOTICED IT AND I REPORTED IT TO THE STAFF IN THE PRO SHOP;I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY CAMERAS AND TO MY SURPRISE HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE CAMERAS. FOIND MY DOOR LOCK DRILLED OUT AND THE PARTS WERE EVERYWHERE AT MY DOOR. THEY OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT GET INSIDE THE CAB, WHY I DONT KNOW. TIME FOR SOME SECURITY TO PROTECT YOUR CLIENTELE AND THIER PERSONAL PROPERTY FROM PREDATORS, THAT WE ARE ALL TO FAMILIAR TO US ALL.
SINCERELY

Thanks for taking time to leave us a review. Please reach out to our management team at (805) 604-1234. Thank you for playing Sterling Hills Golf Club.
One of the most fun courses I’ve played in a long time.
Don’t let the length or lack there of fool you.
The first hole lulls you into a false sense of security thinking this is going to be your typical muni. You get past the first hole and then it takes off!
Almost every shot is risk-reward. Miss a fairway and there’s trouble. Approach a green from a wrong angle, more trouble. The greens are slick, most are tired and undulating. I hit my usual number of greens, but 3- putted a ton. Memo to self, being below the hole truly means something here.
A handful of tee boxes make you ponder “driver or 5 iron”. Every enticement of being in a fantastic spot also presents problems if you’re off your mark by amore than a few degrees.
If you can draw the ball at will, you’ll need to. If you fade the ball at will, you’ll need to do that too. Hit a stinger... yep, you’ll need that shot in your bag in certain places.
Very rarely do you find a course where you’ll be glad to have all 14 clubs in your bag. This is one of those courses.
All in the mid-afternoon was $33 for green fees, $15 for a cart, and they throw in range balls and a drink - beer included.
Really a ton of fun!
Great value even though the fairways and tee boxes are not what you’d call “pristine”. But for under $50...awesome!
I live an hour and 45 minutes away (Huntington Beach) played there to meet friends from Santa Clarita. I’d make that drive gladly again to play here.

Best Value Golf
The complimentary breakfast burrito and small bucket of balls that comes with a very reasonable green fee for a nice course makes Sterling Hills the best value golf for my money!
