The best courses you can play in Simi Valley, California

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Greens were surprisingly smooth. Everything else was pretty poor. If you need a last-minute tee time you could probably snag one here but don’t pay prime rates - go twilight instead. That said, your money is probably better spent elsewhere.”

“I play this course a lot in the mornings before work. Good vibes and greens are decent. Pace of play sucks if you aren’t one of the first couple times off. Typical wide open, bomb it anywhere, and go low muni. Overall solid for an LA muni.”

“Is this place, "good"? No. Can you hit driver a lot and try to make birdies? Yes. Public teetimes are difficult occasionally in Los Angeles, but if you wind up here, you shouldn't have a bad day. It's probably fifth on the list of city courses.”

“Cool quirky course. Not quite as packed as the LA city courses, a bit out there but a fun round with some cool views. Worth the trip”
