Las Posas at Las Posas Country Club

Las Posas Country Club sits in Camarillo, a city in Ventura County roughly midway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara along California's coastal plain. The course was designed by Lawrence Hughes, a Southern California architect active in the mid-twentieth century who worked primarily on municipal and daily-fee layouts throughout the region. The club opened in the 1960s and serves as a community-oriented facility in what was then a developing agricultural area transitioning toward suburban growth.

The routing occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Oxnard Plain, with the Santa Monica Mountains visible to the south and east. The design reflects the straightforward parkland style common to Hughes's work, with tree-lined fairways, modest bunkering, and greens that provide accessible golf for a range of abilities. Water features appear on several holes, typical of courses built in this era when irrigation infrastructure allowed for more strategic hazards in Southern California's semi-arid climate.

Las Posas functions as a traditional country club with a membership base drawn from Camarillo and surrounding Ventura County communities. The course has served local amateur competitions and provides a home course for area golfers seeking a relaxed, unpretentious environment. The name "Las Posas" references the Spanish colonial land grant that once covered this portion of the county, a reminder of the region's ranching and agricultural heritage before residential and commercial development reshaped the landscape in the latter half of the twentieth century.
