The boys in my family love golfing. The closest course to them is this one. I've called multiple times and gone with them to check it out. Most of the staff is not nice at all. There are certain people that are kind but overall they make the experience so much worse by being so rude. They charge a $10 booking as well as a $10 walk in fee so there is no avoiding that. I understand that they are a course that has strict rules, i think that's great but there definitely needs to be improvements to make people want to go back. They also charge a spectator fee even if you don't golf at all. Me and another spectator that came got told multiple times that we could not be in our own cart and had to be with a golfer. Even when we would get out of the cart to discuss something or just sit in the same cart while we were stopped at a hole, one man was very rude in a cart with a red flag told us we would have to leave if we did that again. They are way over the top for a course like this. They think they are Pebble Beach or something. I'm surprised there's not a fee for talking to the staff or for calling. read more

Now seeing all the reviews below I should have known better. Like the others this is not a review about the course, as I enjoy it most times I play. The bad review is due to the management clearly trying to hide their actual prices when you book online. $10 booking fee per person is not included in your round fees and although it technically discloses it in the fine print, you are fully anticipating only paying what was originally listed on the website. You're tell me that a $10 booking fee to use the website is justified?? Just a greedy way to do business. I'll gladly pay the extra money to play rustic or Moore Park from now on. read more

Course is in great condition! All the staff was so nice! I would've never known it was public because of how well it's kept! Rates were solid and super affordable! The driving range was clear and relaxing and their putting green is smooth and good for training. They also had a kids camp going on while I was there, super cute! Going to start coming here weekly! read more

10$ booking fee doesn't go towards anything,and is only mentioned in the fine print. Also staff aren't the most friendly at times.

This in no way shape or form is a review in relation to the golf course itself. As someone who has played this golf course for years and grown up in this town within the last few months a lot has changed to the point that it isn't the same golf course. I frequently play in the afternoon and play fast, and if there's no one being held up I'll skip ahead so I can finish the round in timely hour. I've been told to wait for my group to catch up despite no one on the next two holes in front or behind me. Recently, the entire attitude of the Club has changed into the dreaded private club feel, which is fine if you're gonna have a TOP Quality golf course. read more

While the course layout and facilities themselves are great, the customer service and leadership from the head pro Blake, who completely ruined the experience. He has an incredibly unprofessional attitude and treats golfers with an unprovoked, hostile demeanor. It is a shame that such a nice course is held back by management with such a terrible attitude toward patrons. If you expect decent respect and standard professionalism when you pay to play, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere read more

Course is maintained very well. Very fun to play. Additionally,, Donya (Donia?), the cart service girl is a wonderful human. Always very polite and friendly. Appreciate her. read more

Rudest pro shop I have ever talked to. Made me want to play golf anywhere but here...... No customer service, dismissive and not interested in promoting Simi Hills GC. Covering phone Sunday, 10/5, afternoon. Surely you guys can do better than this read more

The course condition is poor and overpriced -- twilight is $48 per person. At the entrance, carts are piled up unattended, yet staff tell customers there are no carts. When they see you don't want to play anymore, suddenly a cart "appears." After paying in full, they still come over to criticize me for not having my own bag. Why does it matter to you whether I have a bag or not? Didn't I already pay? I prefer to keep my clubs with my family in one bag -- what business is that of yours? The attitude here is extremely rude. read more

Booking fees are malicious and deceitful. Your $10 PER PERSON booking deposit does not go to your tee time. Fine, this is disclosed on their rates and fees page. BUT If you book earlier than 7 days you get hit with an additional $15 dollar fee PER PERSON. Very conveniently, left out on the rates and fee page and hidden in tiny print when checking out. Book for 4 people more than 7 days in advance, that's an additional $100 that does NOT go towards your tee time. Be warned, non simi valley residents. read more

All of it Attitude Prices Booking Policy STINKS $10:00 extra fee Per player No break for Residents Coffee Shop Stinks Need I say more??? I know the course is popular but that doesn't make it for people in Simi who have supported the Golf Course for ever Oh did I say that I payed the $199.00 for early booking but if you do not jump thru hoops in that lousy website that repeats Also it forgets that you are signed up and it doesn't recognize your password But wait there is more Hire people that actually like their jobs or the place will go the way of Lost Canyons Rather drive to Soule Park read more

Man the usual opener on Mondays is a real winner. This guy doesnt want to be there and the attitude is a bit much. I usually play early but after the new policys, 5+ hour rounds, and lack of hospitality I think I am parting ways. As a customer theres too many issues for a C+ golf course I will be going to Robles,TR, Rustic, or Moorpark CC. You pay a little bit more and get a better experience. read more

Starting Marshall let us know average round was 4 hours 10 minutes. Went well above that and hit about the 5 hour mark while fighting the dark at that point. Zero Marshall on course to help push groups ahead. All of this in addition to the $10 booking fee for each player that doesn't go towards green fees, which is unheard of. I'm from out of state and will not return or recommend this course to anyone I talk to. read more

Overall my favorite local course. Very well taken care of city course. Greens are usually very good. Fairways are good and bunkers are taken care of too. Plays as a 71. Highly recommend you try it. Putting green is one of the best I've seen so far in the greater LA/ ventura area. Soo well taken care of. Range is off of mats nothing spectacular but it gets you warm for the round. They have a great shop adjacent to the range ran by a dude named J. Never going back to Roger Dunn. Grips and fitting done day of or next day early. Great guy! Some days you find yourself behind a slower older group... happens. Typically on pace for 4 hours. read more

This used to be one of the better operated courses in VC, now it's just awful. First of all, calling a $10 booking charge a "deposit" is just plain false advertising. It's a booking charge, even the starter said so. Next, the pro shop is just pushy, disinterested, and unprofessional. Went to check in today and had to wait because nobody was at the counter. Finally, the gem of a guy that Starter Don is. Nobody teed off for 40 minutes prior to our starting time. My group was ready 15 minutes before our scheduled time. You'd think he would at least be like hey you guys can go...nope he literally stared at his watch, counting down the minutes while saying because we only paid the twilight rate we can't go off ten minutes early. What a joke, shows no customer service skills or common sense. Awful experience and won't be returning. I wondered why the parking lot was so empty...looks like Simi valley golfers have rejected the new "updates." read more

I've been playing here for years and for just a few bucks more you get a much better experience then any of those nasty LA city muni courses. Others may disagree but I am also all for the $10 booking fee because before this, it was very difficult for me to book an ideal tee time or any tee time at all. read more

the $10 "booking deposit" is not a deposit at all, it is a booking FEE. a deposit would be a portion of the greens fee, so if you're charging $48 for greens fees, its actually $58. plus the starters and the pro shop guys just suck now. rude, pushy, unaware of how to send groups out. read more

The starter and the people in the pro shop are awful. They tried to first off tell us that we had to arrive for our tee time 30 minutes early and told us that we had to let the person in front of us go first. Well there was no person in front of us which the guy in pro shop said "disappeared." Then as we are about to tee off the starter says we all need to own our own golf bag. Absolutely ridiculous. We left with a refund and won't ever be returning. The conditions at the course are not worth it! read more

The course itself is ok, but the management is another story. They've added a $10 non-refundable booking fee, which is clearly displayed in bold red text--fair enough. The real issue is the no-show policy: if anyone in your group doesn't show, the person who made the reservation gets hit with an extra $10 per absent player on top of $10 per player non-refundable deposit. That detail is tucked away in the fine print, which feels a little shady. And don't expect much help if you need to change your tee time. They're severely understaffed, and it's not uncommon to be stuck on hold for 15 minutes or more. Better courses in the area without the management issues. read more

Course is fun, pro shop guys must absolutely hate their lives. Tim, in the pro shop, decided to scold me like a child for showing up 12 minutes early for a tee time instead of 15 minutes early, he then threatened to give the tee time away next time people on the waitlist. First off.. we didn't tee off until 5 minutes past our tee time, we were sitting there for about 10 minutes before actually starting our round. I don't know who Tim thinks he is talking to people like that but he better get his act right before he barks up the wrong tree. Dude was a complete asshole start to finish. You're trash tim! read more

Course is dry lots of hard pan. Main issue is Covid is over. Rake the traps. Every trap i was in had multiple shoe marks.

Tim at the pro golf shop was amazing from start to finish. He was helpful and had a smile on his face the whole time. Such a kind person. Answered all questions. Communicated everything to us so well. He even had the restaurant hold off on closing for a few so we could quickly order some sandwiches. We will definitely be back soon. read more

I haven't golfed here yet due to recent joint replacement . I did check out their driving range club house and restaurant and it's as expected for a small neighborhood course . At the front entrance is a public park and they have terrific shady walking path with slight grade (good for working the bum) and allow you to stroll through. There is a nice duck pond for catch & release fishing and there always others here getting zen with nature . Please don't feed the ducks. Day old bread is not their normal diet . There are also a small flock of geese who frequent the park and are very noisy in flight . They can also be viscious so don't get close to the geese . It's a visually safe place to walk with shade if you don't want to walk on the hot walking trail that lines this park & golf course . read more

Nice course. Was in good shape. Played the front 9 in just under 2 hours but the back 9 took 3 hours! Hopefully that doesn't happen too often. I will give it another chance. read more

Took advantage of my son. He went there to hit balls at the range, he hit a few balls and the head flew off the shaft and they claimed he broke the whole driver, and are charging him for new driver in the amount of $643. This place is a rip off and their crappy equipment broke and they are making my son buy a brand new one. Stay Away. he received no receipt nor a copy of anything read more

Great day of golf and the new food in the restaurant is amazing! I believe it's under new management. Nice addition

It only took me an hour to drive here from Huntington Beach. Granted, it was at 5:30 in the morning on a Sunday. The things you do to play golf with a buddy. Very close to the freeway but no where close enough to hear it. Easy to park. Nice location is the foothills made for an interesting terrain. Fairly flat but beautiful. Sand and water on a few holes but wide open fairways. Decent turf and excellent greens. Par 71 and challenging from 5 different tee positions. Friendly staff and $60 per person with a cart on a Sunday. read more

When trying to find things to do in the summer heat during COVID, leave it to the good ole driving range to do the trick! We came here with my nephews about 1 hour before closing but they were more than helpful in getting us enough balls to hit in a timely manner. It finally cooled down when the sun went down, but then came all the bugs - not a good combination when you're sweating bullets. Can't hate on nature though, all in all a terrific experience & excellent bang for your buck! read more

Just went to golf here. I arrived at 420pm for my tee time at 430pm. The guy tells me I'm late and there's other golfers is another party behind me waiting. I tell him I can take a later tee time and. Let the other party go ahead of us. I thought no issues there. I take a later tee time and while waiting to tee off I see there is no one in front of us or behind us. They call our name to start golfing and I tee up. Before i start security dude comes up to us and tells us we can't golf cause we don't all have golf bags. I tell him I've golfed here a handful of times with my son and this has never been an issue. He just kept saying "that's policy". The guy from the pro shop comes out and tells us only two people can golf (we had 4 players and my daughter uses one club the whole time). You would think common sense they would tell us it's ok to golf this time and next time we come make sure everyone has a bag. No, they tell us only 2 players can golf. I go back into the pro shop to get my money back and ask the guy where's the party that we were holding up??? He tells me he has no idea and the y must have left. lol! I will never golf here again! I talked to numerous people I know who work public and private golf courses and they told me this is absolutely ridiculous!!!! read more

For a public course that gets heavy usage this is a good one. Prices are very fair and even on a Saturday at 10 AM we finished in 4 1/2 hours and we took our time. Layout is fair yet Par 3's are long! A walkable course with a bunch of blind tee shots and doglegs. Overall another gem in Simi Valley. Not sure why they require masks indoors, but that's really my only complaint. read more

Located right off the 118 Ronald Reagan freeway and only two turns off the exit. Really easy to get to. Been playing Simi Hills Golf Course quite a bit as of late, mostly super early on Sundays. If you're not a local Simi Valley resident, the booking is a little tricky. You can't call during the wee hour's morning of a week out to book. They offer priority during those early hours for the residents of Simi Valley. For a non-resident, you are allowed to call in 8:30am and after, one week before your desired tee time/date. Also, they have a special back nine holes; early morning tee times for a decent rate. It seems to be quite popular with the locals. Having played my most recent round here this past Sunday, May 5, 2019, I've noticed a huge upgrade in the powered carts. They're brand, spanking new Yamaha golf carts. Cushions are still slick and comfortable, new GPS touch screen, and even a USB outlet to charge your electronics. It explains why my Sunday price for a non-resident, 18 holes, with cart went from $60 to $62. Of course, you have the option to walk here which would've been $45 instead of $62. Also, if you choose to ride, don't forget to return the cart key to the pro shop to get your $5 deposit back. It's extremely easy to return the cart and just walk off without returning the cart key to get your $5 back. As stated, the course is somewhat flat enough to walk. I would say, nearly half of the players walk. There are some holes where the elevation is a little dramatic, but it's not many holes. The course is quite walkable and you'll get that extra cardio in. Still, I haven't walked myself. I believe they allow fivesomes here but all five players would have to ride to keep the pace of play moving along. If you tee up early, they will remind you of this expected pace of play. I recall the pro shop guy reminding me both over the phone and in person about their expected pace of play. You can hack, but better hack at a ready and speedy rate. The course is typically in pretty good condition like most of the other golf courses in the Simi Valley. This course is a probably easiest in comparison to the likes of Rustic Canyon, Tierra Rejada, Moorpark, etc. Maybe even cheapest too. The grass is nicely manicured and the greens are smooth and sometimes slightly fast. Players here tend to do a decent job at fixing their divots on the greens and we hope you guys will do the same. There are some tricky holes but overall, the course is good for scratch to amateurs at all levels. Cart ladies typically start later in the morning. I always seem to catch them a couple of holes near the end when I tee off so early. Plenty of parking, a driving range, small putting and chipping areas to practice available. P.S. If you're a long ball hitter, the driver off tee box #1 may not be your best option. Watch out for the guys fishing in the pond straight ahead! read more

Best course in the valley! Forget all the muni courses in LA with poor greens, poor fairways, poor-quality staff etc. Simi Hills is really well maintained and has the top staff out of any golf course I've been on. One staff member even went out of his way to get me extra pencils from the pro shop after I lost mine and couldn't write my score down. The course is challenging but in a good way as it is well maintained. Great place to practice and I've found my regular course. read more

I don't golf, but my boss does! So when our department at work brainstormed on his potential birthday gift, we learned that Simi Hills is his favorite course. GIFT CARDS are available from their online store in increments of $25. These can be used on course fees and merchandise. I had a couple questions regarding turnaround time, so sent an email prior to purchasing. The tournament director JACKIE responded within minutes with a courteous message! She assured me that orders are processed ASAP and generally mailed out the same today. I submitted my online order on Friday, then received the gift card on Monday. This was a last-minute gift, so speedy processing was very much appreciated. Highly recommended to consider gift cards to this course for the golf lovers in your life! read more

I liked the course, I guess because I shot a pretty decent score here my first time I played here last weekend. Even with the green aerated (weekend of March 30th), I was still able to shoot a good score. The greens should be ready in a few more weeks. We had an early morning tee time (7am) and the course played very well without a lot of people playing that early. We finished our round of 18 in about 4 hours. The clubhouse is small but nice. The pro shop has a lot of equipment and the mini-restaurant offers snacks, drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner. I loved Simi Hills even more because the electric carts were super new and FAST. The course is simple, not too hard and big fairways. You're always able to hit your driver on every par 4 without the fear of hitting it OB or out. There are some nicely placed bunkers and minimal water. The course is also cheaper than the other courses you'd find in Simi Valley. Very easy to get to from the 118 freeway too. read more

Consistently slow play. Marshall doesn't want to confront anyone. A group ahead of us was playing the black tees but we didn't see them hit a ball over 200 yards. They have a nice sign on the first tee that explains ready golf and how to select the proper tees for your ability. They also have pace of play information on the back of score card. Why post it if you won't enforce it. FORE! read more

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! We went to Simi Hills Golf Course for the first time with our neighbors which took place on May 30,2023. As we were playing we notice a group of 6 ahead of us which were very loud and drinking and just peeing everywhere, not even hiding behind the bushes literlly just peeing out in the open this was by far very disrespectfull. I then called Marshall came out but ONLY gave them a warning but it just seemed as if Marshall didn't want to confront them. on hole 10 one of the players ahead of us starting cuzing at us and I return a word back. What I should have done was call the cops to have a report on. Now hole 11 the player started fighting with one of there own players and you can tell and see how he's alcohol level was extremely high. But once again Marshal was scared to confront that group. Now with that being said a game that should have taken us about 3 hours or so too us at least 6 hours. On our way out I stop at the from desk and spoke to clerk and expressed my dissatisfaction and all he can say was "I'm sorry" and handed me a business card to follow up supervisor Brian. I then called and left a message and also sent an emailed Brian with video of fight and there behavior and never received a call back or replied via email. I then called again on 6/6/2023 and was able to speak to Brian and once again all you hear was "I'm sorry" and he then said he forwarded email to GM and that he has been very busy with championship going on at the moment. Well as of today 10/1/2023 he must still be very busy because I haven't heard anything from no one and that's very disappointing. I mean you pay a lot of money $119 (for 2) to play and just to see a circus going on the field with a scary Marshal not doing a dam thing. Would be nice for the main person or owner to see this and it would be nice if they were on top of there email complaints, or at least hire people to do there job correct or give them better training to avoid this type of situations. I have a video that I will be uploading of the fight. read more

Worst golf course I've been to in the entire Southern California area. I went on a Sunday and had a 3 cart line ahead of me and behind me and I was told that I was playing too slow despite waiting a minimum of 25-30 minutes at each hole. Let alone the cost of the golf, which is extremely overpriced. I will never return here and wouldn't even play at this sh**hole for free read more

Way overpriced! This golf course charges double what other courses in the area charge that don't rake the sand traps and/or have poor course maintenance and no marshall to keep the slugs moving. It's a shame! Just like Camarillo Springs, great track with no staff to make it right. Hey it's ok if you pay 24$ to play like Camarillo. But when Simi cost me 50$ ???? WTF never again! read more

Golf here somewhat regularly and yesterday (2/21/2021) was about the worst experience I have ever had there. The Manager (Seth I believe is his name) probably gave me my worst experience at this golf course to date -- which sucks because this course has always been a joy. I showed up to my tee time about 45 minutes early and checked in. Unfortunately my group was running late. Seth continued to harass me by calling my name over the loud speaker for the rest of my group to check in starting at 1:50 pm for a 2:20 p.m. tee time. I explained to him that they would be there before our 2:30 tee time. He continued to call my name out over the loud speaker for my group to check in even though I had already informed him of the situation. Eventually we got into a bit of a heated exchange and he finally stopped. My buddies ended up checking in and oh by the way, we were off the first tee box heading for the green on number 1 by 2:18 p.m. -- 2 minutes ahead of our scheduled tee time. Not only was Seth being rude and harassing with me, but he was also yelling in the girls face who was checking people in. It was highly unprofessional and I would never want someone like that working at my golf course. Each of my friends mentioned how much of an ass this guy was to them when they checked in as well (ahead of schedule). Management should look closely at this guy or probably risk a lawsuit at some point in the future. read more
