Designed by William F. Bell. The player who can pitch and putt will score well at Mountain View. Most of the greens are small, quick, and elevated. The fairways are narrow, tree lined and framed by homes. The back nine features a lot more elevation than the front. Once a private club, the course was nicknamed home of the pros because many professional golfers used to live near the course. From Riverside (about 15 miles southwest to the course): Take Highway 91 west. Exit at Serfas Club Drive and go south. Take the first left on Pinecrest and then an immediate left on Mountain View Drive.

Public: 18 hole - cost: $12 - $25

16799 South Mountain Road, Santa Paula, CA 93060

Tel: (805) 525-1571

 

Designed by Anthony Pawlak. Mountain View has many short par 4s and five par 3s. With trees along the fairways and ponds that come into play on a few holes, Mountain View keeps the long hitters honest by requiring some semblance of accuracy. From Ventura (about 17 miles east to the course): Drive south on US 101 and take Highway 126 east to the Tenth Street exit. Turn left to Harvard Boulevard and then make a right on 12th Street. Go over the bridge and turn right on South Mountain Road, to the course.
