I hate you guys! :rolling: Way too cold and wet here.

Cowboy, you ever play Elkins Ranch in Fillmore? Used to be one of my favorites, long, long ago. Not sure what the course would be like today.

I have played there a number of times.

My regular courses are Simi Hills, Malibu Canyon, Rustic Canyon, Robinson Ranch, Moorpark Country Club, Angeles National and Tierra Rejada.

I have considered joining Porter Valley Country Club, but have not mental been able to part with the $575.00 per month. That's a lot of cigars

Love to but I am being hosted. A number of my clients and former partners are members. I actually like Tierra Rejada better or Spanish Hills. Fav is the Valley Club.
I like everything about Tierra Rejada but #17. They should put a windmill or a clown head on that 3 par. What were they thinking?

My local favorite is Robinson Ranch. Both course are amazing.

I play Porter Ranch, Calabassas and Braemar all the time when in SFV as we have friends and family members in all of them. I hear Porter Valley does a lot of activities with the members besides golf to make it more enjoyable. Our club here is basically $500 a month for a family membership and includes all green and cart fees.

Cart fees are not included at Porter Valley. That is just silly. Other than that, they have a very good program. They have been courting me since October. I guess memberships, must be way down because they are deferring membership initiation fees for five years. I like the club, I like the course, I am very close to pulling the trigger.

They are down everywhere! Our club is deferring the initiation fee for 12 months and then if you decide to stay you pay a discounted initiation fee. They just need those monthly dues coming in to offset some operating costs I guess.

I have played Elkins a few times. In fact my father-in-law was the mechanic. If you were in the mens club, you might know him from the old days...Ray Rychecky.

About 5 years ago the course looked OK at best.

I grew up in Simi Valley. Unfortunately, I wasn't a golfer when I lived there, but have played it a couple times when visiting old friends. Nice track. Played somehwere in Camarillo as well, but can't remember the name.

I love Simi Hills. What a fun course. Great value too.

I know of a few tracks in Camarillo - There is Camarillo Springs, Sterling Hills, Spanish Hills and Las Posas CC.

Camarillo Springs I think it was. Yes, Simi Hills does have some great value. Played a twilight round out there once and felt like I was deer hunting with golf balls. They were everywhere at dusk. Very nice indeed.

All this talk of fancy courses has me wishing my game was a thousand times better and my wallet was a bit deeper but since I have to account for both facts I will be playing the Sail Ho Golf Club here in Point Loma on Sunday. With cart and club rental I can usually play for around $30. I usually smoke and drink more then the green fees but when your game is as bad as mine it is about the experience and memories and not so much what the score card says.
