Spring Hills Golf Course

This course is a hidden gem. A challenging course that is in good shape and not expensive to play. (It's actually maintained pretty darn well considering all the challenges of water and diseases.)

Greens are pretty true and in good shape. Fairways are watered and green. Usually not very crowded and a good test of skill.

Highly recommended.

We've had to change the rating here. I was made aware by a black friend that he actually felt very unwelcome here. The locals he said, made him feel as if the money he paid didn't really entitle him to use the golf course. I've felt this racism here before but this only confirmed it. I would encourage People of Color to stay far away from this course. They just want it for locals. And none of the locals are black... and the locals seem to like it that way.

I will say, speaking of locals, the pace of play among regulars can be a problem. They send out five-somes all the time and they take over 5 hours. They don't play ready golf. And they don't let people play through. It feels very much like rules for thee but not for me. I would like the course to make sure all groups try and get done in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Pace matters.

Great place to play a casual round on a budget. Compares favorably to Pajaro, Seascape, DeLaveaga. Challenging, slightly excentric layout. Good condition in the wet months thru early summer, gets dry in the fall. Very friendly staff.
