Nice course. Cool layout. Not the best service.

Front desk staff seemed bothered by us. When we asked to have our own carts for the 4 of us, they declined citing that we traveled there together, so we needed to share carts because it costed the course extra to run more carts. Even though we paid for round and cart for each of us. They also punched the greens. Offered the people after us a discounted rate, but charged us full price because we used Golf now to book. Kind of treated us as a bother. Even when there were only 5-10 groups on the whole course. Was a little disappointed with the experience even though the course was nice.

Fast Greens

The course is in great shape. The greens are very fast! They were also placed in some more challenging locations.

Rode the Blues (6751/72.7/138) in 3H, 15M mid day on a GN "Hot Deal" as a single. Smokey, breezy and in the high 80's made for challenging golfing conditions. Fires 100 miles north have the whole area looking like it is fogged in.

Tees were semi lush and most were well maintained for divots. Some could use leveling.

Fairways lush, nice to play from.

Rough was fairly lush close to the fairway. Mostly mowed down, not overly penal. Thinner the farther you got from the fairway.

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

Large, undulating greens were smooth, medium fast and firm, they held irons with some run out.

Customer service was very good. Basic carts do not have GPS, and the course is not well marked for yardages if you do not have a measuring device of some kind. Challenging layout in nice condition. Both the layout and the greens are outstanding. Definitely recommended.

Great Track. Needs player assistants

This course is fantastic from the pro shop to the restaurant to the course. Only needs 1 think. PLAYER ASSISTANT’S. Pace of play was terrible, mostly because of a walking 3some that finished with4 open holes in front of them and wouldn’t let any of the5 groups behind the play thru. Everything else is great

Rode the Blues (6751/72.7/138) in slightly over 4.5H mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". Matched up with 3 nice guys, one was a novice. We let 2 groups play through then got caught behind a younger 4some on golf boards. They got their $$$ on the golf boards, they looked like snowboarders going down the fairways. Sunny, windy and in the 80's made for challenging golfing conditions.

Other than no rakes in the sand, almost no other obvious COVID-19 measures. Cups were normal depth, they provided divot mix and the bathrooms/water stations on the course were operational.

Tees were semi lush and most were well maintained for divots. Some could use leveling.

Fairways mostly lush with a good pad underneath. Both are beginning to show brown spots from the heat.

Rough was fairly lush close to the fairway. Mostly mowed down, not overly penal. Thinner the farther you got from the fairway.

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

Large, undulating greens were smooth, medium fast and they held irons well. They rolled nice!

Customer service was very good. Basic carts do not have GPS, and the course is not well marked for yardages if you do not have a measuring device of some kind. Challenging layout in nice condition. Both the layout and the greens are outstanding. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Day

A pleasure to play - challenging yet straightforward in parts. A few tricky holes, but hit it long and straight and you will score well - haha isn't that always the truth. Pace of play became an issue for us as we had 2 very very novice groups in front of us that had no etiquette or intention of picking up. Not the Course's fault but we did wish there was a Marshall to move them along. A bit windy but that made it nice and cool and more challenging. Greens and Fairways were great, well cared for. Lots and lots of gopher holes around the bunkers and just off fairways so you need be careful where you step. But we loved it and will absolutely be back for more!

Best course in Central Cal within at least 50 miles in all directionsCoast

Rode the Blues (6751/72.7/138) in slightly over 3H as a single mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". I did not have anyone within several holes of me the entire round. When the weather in Paso heats up, most of the locals play early. Sunny and close to 100 mid day with a gentle breeze.

Other than 1 person at a time and masks required in the pro shop, almost no other obvious COVID-19 measures. First time I have played with "normal" cups in months. They provide divot mix and the bathrooms/water stations on the course were operational.

Few level lies anywhere on this course. The fairways are generous in size, the rough is mostly mowed down and if you get off in the oaks its hardpan. Hilly layout with fairways framed by mature oak trees. From the blue tees, there are several holes where you cannot hit a low shot or you will not clear oaks between you and the fairway.

Tees were semi lush and most were well maintained for divots. Some could use leveling.

Fairways mostly lush with a good pad underneath. Both are beginning to show brown spots from the heat.

The rough was fairly lush close to the fairway, and thick enough to mess with you. Thinner the farther you got from the fairway.

Sand traps had good quality sand and were well maintained.

Large, undulating greens were smooth, medium fast and they held irons well. They rolled ice!

The customer service was very good. Basic carts do not have GPS, and the course is not well marked for yardages if you do not have a measuring device of some kind. Challenging layout in nice condition. Best course on the Central Cal Coast IMO.
