The best courses you can play in Thousand Oaks, 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.”

“Fairways, greens, and tee boxes all in good condition. Facilities consists of two mobile boxed buildings, nothing fancy, but a nice track for the fellas!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”
