Camarillo Springs is my home course. It is not an upscale venue. It is a sleepy little course tucked into a coastal valley surrounded by the Santa Monica mountains. This relatively short course now has 3 different tee boxes playing nearly 7000 yds from the black and about 6000 from the whites. The somewhat small greens are Poa. Most of the par 3's are challenging with water in play on two. The greens are well maintained, some fairways and tee boxes still need work, they are works in progress. Staff is pleasant and helpful.
The price is right, there are a lot of older people and slower golfers at this course, typically pace of play is 4 1/2 hours, I'd say about average for SoCal.
I like Camarillo Springs for two reasons. It presents kind of an open look to the golfer (not alot of trees). Secondly, the temperature is generally cool during the hot summer months.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
