Hunter Ranch Golf Course

I have played here a handful of times. It’s a must if you’re visiting the Paso area. Not a super long course but it play difficult.

The course was in beautiful condition and the weather perfect. I meet my son here as it's half way between LA and SF and had a totally great time with him at Hunter Ranch.

Course was clean. No two holes were the same which is about as good of a quality as a course can have in my book. Charging $38 per player to add on an extra nine at 5:30 on masters Sunday when the course was empty was about the worst quality a course can have. I'll be back but my day definitely went from a 10 to an 8 after that.

I was impressed with this course. There are many elevation changes and spectacular views of the surrounding vineyards that stretch for miles against a mountainous backdrop. The greens were fast and manicured clean, no brown or bare spots to be found. The front nine is mostly forgiving with wide fairways, the back nine more challenging with tighter fairways and hazards to negotiate. Only downside, I wouldn't put this course in the $110 category. For $70 - $80, definiitely worth it. I do recommend the course itself and would gladly play again for the right price.

The tee boxes, fairways, greens all in very good shape. The fringes around some of the greens were absolutely perfect. Several elevation changes and beautiful views. My only complaint is lack of information. No pictures on the scorecard or at the tee box providing a layout of the hole. Yardage not clearly marked at all. Several times I wondered where to go to find the next hole, and ended up in the path of other players shots. The course itself was beautiful, in very good condition, a great value for the money. Nice bar/restaurant and friendly service. My only complaint is the layout/logistics which were confusing since it was my first time playing the course.

I play with a 6 handicap and this course definitely made me work for every stroke from the tips. The layout is excellent with with some generous and tight fairways. The course definitely rewards for finding the fairways. Some good elevation change from tee to green but the Greens were excellent. Fast but true rolls, not to hard, no problem with getting the balls to check up. Definitely enjoyed the walk and beautiful scenery with natural mature trees and rolling hills. Would definitely play this course again if I’m ever in the area.

My only complaint is the restaurant bar closed to early 4pm.

Rode the Blues (6751/72.7/138) in slightly over 4 1/2H twilight on a GN "Hot Deal". Matched up with Dave, who after comparing notes turns out we have corresponded on the same forum posts in "Places to Play". We played behind a walking 4some and waited every shot most of the last 15 holes. Slow POP did not matter with excellent company, we still finished well before dark. Sunny, fairly calm and around 70 made for nice golfing conditions.

Tees were very mediocre. Thin and not that well maintained for divots.

Fairways had brown dormant patches but played well. Mostly lush, nice 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.

Sand traps had good quality sand. Very well maintained.

Large, undulating greens were smooth, medium fast and firm. They rolled nicely, holding irons with minor run.

Customer service very good, quick efficient check in but no on course services. Carts have been upgraded to include GPS. Course is not well marked for yardages if you do not have a measuring device of some kind. Challenging course in nice condition overall. Both the layout and the greens are well above average. Definitely recommended.

Enjoyed the course a lot but not really a $95 + / round course.
