CAMARILLO SPRINGS GOLF COURSE (1972)

CENTRAL COAST REGION

Public - 18 hole: cost $20 - $52

791 Camarillo Springs Road, Camarillo Springs, CA 93012

Tel: (805) 484-1075    

Designed by Ted Robinson. Plenty of water, with an abundance of trees, demands golfers to be accurate. The course sits attractively at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains. Cart is included on weekends, but walking is allowed. From Ventura (about 20 miles southeast to the course): Take US 101 south to Camarillo. Turn left (south) on Camarillo Springs Road. It's too busy to play this muni-style course when you can go to Olivas Park, Buenaventura, or Sterling Hills. It's a decent course, but the competition is stiff.

CAMELOT GOLF COURSE (1962)

DESERT REGION

Public - 9 hole: cost $6 - $10

3430 Camelot Boulevard, Mojave, CA 93501

Tel: (661) 824-4107

Designed by unknown. Tree-lined fairways, greens with considerable break, and an ever-present wind make for challenging golf for even the more experienced player. From within Mojave: Off Highway 14, turn west onto Camelot Boulevard. Travel one and one-half miles to the course. A neat nine-holer but sometimes lacks conditioning.
