Sterling Hills Golf Club

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.

Always love this track!
Havent played here much this summer. Always enjoyed it in past. I have had some slow paces in the past but no more than any other course. This time was awesome!
Staff, which include Cedric, Micheal and Nancy were very kind and helpful. Fun track great prices and the snack bar people were serving great food. I will be back!
Very friendly staff
I've always been impressed by how this course is run. The staff is great, course is fun and free range balls and meal ticket are nice added perks
Great course layout!
This course has a great layout from tips to greens. A few blind tee shots and a few holes with narrow greens will keep you challenged throughout your round. Most of the greens run back towards you sloping from back to front so I would suggest keeping your shots short so you have an easy uphill putt. Downhill puts on the greens are a bit diabolical depending on the placement. Really enjoyed this course!
Had some areas where they were doing repairs to .. like The Fact That You Have Some Challenges in lyes on the Greens and in the Fairways

Thank you for your 4-star review and for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the challenges on the course and appreciate your understanding as we work on improvements. We hope to see you again soon at Sterling Hills Golf Club!

Great course
Very good challenging course, fairways were a little dry In some areas but overall good course and lunch is included, would definitely play again!
Fairways Bad
My 1st look on the 1st hole and I was not impressed , brown grass all the way from the Tee Box to the Green , The Started advised they had a pump problem and were watering in some places. Basically the Tee boxes and greens . I realize it is summer and the fairways usually get a little brown but nothing like this
If this course is going to be a goat ranch then the green fees should be adjusted to the goat ranch fee not one of the highest cost golf courses in the county
Great green condition
Lovely course. Green condition is really impressive when we were there.
