Better be a player

This is an above average course, don't expect to score well the first time out, excellent shape but not player friendly, need to play here a few times to adjust to proper tees etc.-the kind of course that qualifies your handicap. Not fun for your wife unless she is above average.

SLO

That’s you get here. Very slow pace of play, be ready to wait between each hole. No marshal to speed up play. Our GPS Rangefinder said we were 20 minutes behind after 9 holes. We quit after 10 holes, very frustrating, don’t think we’ll be back.

It is almost a links golf course

The layout of Hunter Ranch is good. The front is challenging, but far easier than the back nine.

I'm sure the back nine wouldn't be easier the 2nd time around, but still challenging.

The course is walkable, but you need to be in shape to walk 18.

If I'm in the area, I will definitely play Hunter Ranch again.

Nice But Weird

Front 9 has a great layout. Back 9 is not so user friendly. Course management needs to figure out a way to create more visibility on blind shots; cut down trees, especially the one on 18. Not a course for the average golfer who will lose 24 balls, spend countless minutes looking for thier ball if they miss hit it.

Greens are pure. Fairway are nice. Bunkers are nice. With the expensive rates I recommend leveling out the tee boxes so at least you have a flat lie to start each hole.

I won’t be going back until they change some things. Great pit stop for a road trip to take a leak or drop a deuce though.

Hot

Played on a pretty hot day / course was dried out with lots of roll on your ball / greens were fast / restaurant only open until 4 pm / starting time was 11:50 / could not finish in time to eat / used points from GolfNow or it would have been too much money for this course
