The best golf courses in Simi Valley, California

“The North at LACC made for a controversial US Open venue in 2023. I’m of the opinion that George Thomas’s 1927 design is one of the best in the West. The North’s front nine is undoubtedly one of my favorite nines I have played, with an equally as compelling back nine.”

“Shot values to the max. Recovery options available. #4 has to be on the list of hardest holes I've ever played. #8 has to be on the list of most fun. I'm actually down on #10 unless you can carry the ball 305. I think it's a layup hole if you can't.”

“I loved how you leave the clubhouse and disappear back into the neighborhood, almost feeling tucked away from everything. The iconic bridge is obviously a standout feature and makes the property so memorable, along with the incredible views. The course was in great condition…”

“Probably one of the best conditioned clubs in LA area. Pretty difficult off the tee, bunch of interesting shots. Great all day experience. Wish it was more walkable.”

“Generous targets off the tee, just the right amount of tree cover for my liking and expansive greens that offer many pin locations and variety.”

“One of the hardest tracks in LA, if you’re a bit off with your approach game it’s going to be a long day. Greens can be brutal and the wind is unforgiving. Great matchplay course and a hidden gem.”

“Brilliant use of completely uninspiring land from Gil Hanse and Geoff Shackelford to create a minimalistic masterpiece. Rustic rewards the ground game through width and angles, firm and fast conditions, and extremely subtle contour.”

“Greens and wind are its only real defense, but definitely not “get-able” without a decent game. Fun walk and solid membership. Great caddy program.”

“Recently played after major renovation. Course was extremely challenging! Must find fairways at all times to remain in play. Front 9 definitely played harder than the back, both front and back also had fun and challenging elevation.”

“Great Hilly Country Club out in LA-the greens have very cool contours and play crispy and firm-don’t short side yourself unless you have good hands. Backs up to a tough 7000 rated 74.”

“One of the better munis in the SoCal region. Well kept fairways and greens. Tee boxes aren’t always the flattest but it’s a public track. Tough and fun layout.”

“One of the few Robert Trent Jones SR courses in the west coast recently renovated . I enjoyed it and would recommend it. Tough par 3’s with carries over water and contoured greens and lots of bunkers. 18th hole is a long and weird.”

“I don't have a ton to say about this golf course as a strategic challenge, but it's always in the best condition of LA county public golf courses. There's a couple of funky holes, #12 comes to mind, but you're not going to walk away hating it or anything.”

“Not a bad course-greens are kept well, but the rest of the course is a bit worn. Firm fairways and hard kicks make tee shots go far but also could give bad breaks. Layout is mostly good but a few greens complexes are badly turtle shelled and play frustrating”

“For a course trapped in the rolling mountain landscape, I think Mountain Gate does a decent job of making fairly enjoyable routing out of a somewhat limited area  architecturally speaking.”

“Fun track. Round comes with a lunch. A nice public option. Marshall’s can be a tad pushy even when the entire day is blocked. Par fives are reachable which makes this for a very scorable weekend tee time”

“Some truly outstanding holes (2, 4, 5, 7, 11, 17). If the city ever committed to it, I'd kill the range and move it to replace the Par 3 course next door. You could also stretch it 300 more yards and make it play tough for SCGA events.”

“Look - if you’re looking for a proper day out at a proper track, go to rustic, robles, or rancho. If you’re looking for an afternoon walk with a few beers and a few swings discussing how Harrison Ford crash landed his plane on #8 - this is the place to do it.”

“Little funky cramped for space in spots so some narrow chutes to hit into. Good greens fringe was inconsistent and made up of different kinds of grass. Made chipping an adventure. Fun course and great clubhouse patio overlooking Woodland Hills.”

“A little quirky, but could be a lot quirkier which would be an improvement. It’s fun. It’s also a little unpredictable which is part of the charm for a muni (fliers in the fairway, example.) I’d play here again.”
