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.

good public course
This place has tons of potential, however in its current state this will never be better then a average public course. There are huge dirt sections between the tee box and fairways on over half the holes. It's a fun course, I would go here again but I wouldn't pay full price that's for sure.

Lots Of Potential
The course has a great layout, might even be better than the Saticoy Club a few miles away in terms of layout alone. While the conditions have undoubtedly improved in the last year, the fairways are still very patchy, with the greens being thê strong point. Great course nonetheless and definitely will play again.

Classic course
I played Sterling Hills for the first time. I found this course to be challenging and welcoming. During these Covid times golf has been a great outlet. Checking in at the Proshop was a breeze and quick, we got there early to hit balls on the range for a nice warm up, when it was time to tee off we were easily directed to the first tee where the course marshall was their to greet us and move us along. Pace of play was great, and the course itself had many fun challenges. Can't wait to go back.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Sterling Hills Golf Club thanks you!
Great morning round !
Course was in great shape. I just wish people would fix their pitch marks on the greens. I turned in at least 3 on every green to try and help the effort ;-)

Ok
Winter and drought conditions lead to a lot of thin lies and dirt. Traps and greens in good shape. Only worth it on a hot deal...
