Rustic Canyon Golf Course

Moorpark, California

Rustic Canyon is a tribute to the very roots of the game with a lay-of-the-land creation by Hanse Golf Design. Built without detailed blueprints or working drawings, Hanse Golf shaped the large contoured, free-form green complexes and sculpted the bunkers from the natural landscape preserving and incorporating into the design the native barrancas. The canyon hills are dotted with sagebrush, cactus, waves of brome and stipa grass highlighted by a few picturesque oaks. Rustic Canyon is an exercise in restraint with flat, wide-open fairways that fade into the native surroundings and bunkers edged with shaggy eyebrows of thick, drooping fescue. The ground game is critical as the greens play to a bump & run approach. Rustic Canyon is a strategic course for golfers who savor the discovery of a proper approach position on an expansive fairway to best attack the green depending on the pin location. #1 BEST VALUE IN THE U.S.A in the September & October 2010 issues of Golf Magazine. We were also ranked #6 in the state of California's "BEST COURSES YOU CAN PLAY" list by Golf Weekly Magazine 2017.
