Great course and staff

Beautiful course in great shape tee to green. Plays tough but a great experience.

My only negative is why close the bar and restaurant at 4:00 PM? Seems like they’re leaving a lot of money on the table?

HR

Rode the Blues (6751/72.1/136) in just under 4H with Spenser, Ralph and Javi mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". Sunny, calm and around 75. Challenging course in nice overall condition.

Tees were mostly level/lush and well maintained for divots.

Fairways mostly lush and good to play from.

Rough was fairly lush close to the fairway. Thick even though mostly mowed down. Thinner the farther you got from the fairway to hardpan under the huge oaks.

Sand traps had good quality sand and were very well maintained.

Large, undulating greens were smooth, quick and firm. They rolled very nicely, holding irons with minor run out.

Customer service very good. Quick efficient check in. Drink cart around a couple of times, and an open Restaurant @ the turn. Nice carts with GPS. All grass range is okay. Both the layout and the greens are well above average. Best course on the Central Coast IMO, definitely recommended

HUNTING BIRDS

Whenever you can score a tee time here for $50-$40 you are living the high life. Normal green fees are for the affluent. GolfNow makes the Hunter experience richly enjoyable (pricewise). Best overall tee boxes in SLO County & challenging greens make for a great journey into high end golf round. Staff has cooled their jets on condescension towards GN customers, and have lightened their need to make you play with other GN tee timers. Much improved from a couple years ago.

First time playing

Love the layout and conditions. Staff is excellent, course is in great shape. Pace of play is extremely slow. If you’re not worried about that it is a challenging and fun course.

Great layout

Greens remain in fantastic condition. Fairways are still coming out of winter condition with some areas being a little thin. No real issues though. Sand traps have excellent deep soft fluffy sand.

Layout is a blast and the restaurant has good food. POP was on the slow side but that’s to be expected on a late Friday morning with perfect weather and rain expected the following day. It was super busy out

This once proud course has declined precipitously. The fairways are brown and baked out, making it hard to make good contact on approach shots. Some areas are actually dirt in the fairways!

However the greens were in great shape as were the sand traps. Unfortunately those positives don’t make it worth playing there for the prices they charge.

Slow round, fairways don’t hold drives in the middle

Waiting on every shot starting from the 8th hole. Hit the middle of the fairway twice and the balled rolled forever until it found a hazard. Condition, for the price, not great. Greens and bunker were solid. Tee boxes fairways not so much. Unless I’m given a gift card, this course is a one and done for me and my crew.

Not impressed

Waited on every shot for the last 10 holes. Few fairways borderline unplayable as the ball will roll until it hits water or a tree. Not a course I will be playing again anytime soon.
