Originally designed by Billy Bell Jr. in the mid-1980s, the Vineyard Course has gone through several redesigns providing ocean and panoramic views of  Oxnard and Ventura County. The course is renowned for its wide-open fairways, low lying roughs, superb bent/poa annua greens and five lakes spanning the back nine holes. It is highlighted by the par-three 18th “Island” hole measuring from 122 yards to 191 yards and usually playing into the wind. The Victoria Lakes course opened in 2008. Voted one of the best courses in Ventura County, the greens are poa annua grass and the fairways are Greg Norman (GNI) hybrid bermuda. Like the Vineyard course, Victoria Lakes harbors eight acres of water.
