Simi Hills Golf Course



About this course
Simi Hills Golf Course, a local favorite nestled in the eponymous valley, is a testament to accessible golf, offering a forgiving layout that welcomes high handicappers while still presenting enough strategic interest to engage more seasoned players. The course meanders through rolling, golden-hued hills, characteristic of Southern California's inland terrain. Originally designed in the late 1960s, Simi Hills presents a classic, straightforward design. While no single architect is prominently associated with the course, its enduring appeal lies in its playability and the unpretentious atmosphere it cultivates. Fairways are generous, and the greens, though subtly contoured, rarely punish errant approaches with severity. Simi Hills holds no significant championship pedigree, content in its role as a community hub for casual rounds and friendly competition. It remains a relaxed golfing experience for those seeking an enjoyable outing without the pressure of a demanding, tour-caliber track.

Getting there
Simi Hills Golf Course sits in the rolling foothills northwest of Los Angeles, most readily accessed via Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or the closer Burbank Airport (BUR), each roughly 45 minutes to an hour's drive depending on traffic patterns. From either hub, the route traces north through the San Fernando Valley before climbing into the chaparral-dotted hills that define Ventura County's landscape - a transition that feels distinctly removed from the urban sprawl below. The final approach winds through Simi Valley's residential terrain, where the course emerges amid native oak and sage scrub, offering a genuine foothill golf experience that belies its proximity to one of America's largest metropolitan areas. For those with access to private aviation, Santa Paula Airport (SZP) lies just east and provides a more intimate arrival into the region's quieter corners.
