Hunter Ranch Golf Course

Fairway condition wasn't good(bumpy, muddy)& green wasn't maintained(too much moisture)

Great course, but the back half is too tough for me with a 35 handicap. My husband loved it

Hunter Ranch is a challenging course from any of the tee levels. The course sits on a bluff above surrounding vineyards and while providing a steady flow of charming vistas, it nevertheless keeps your playing attention with some very challengingly designed holes. No sense of hole repetition at Hunter Ranch, nor is there any feel that holes are piled side by side. Due to the unique design and clever use of trees and slopes, each hole played gives one the feel of being in its own hole wilderness and singularity.. The condition of the course on the day played on the 15th of September, 2022 was excellent, which is special considering the drought conditions being experience by most of California. Speed of play was also good, as well as helpful assistance from the Hunter Ranch staff.. If there was a disappointment at Hunter Ranch it had nothing to do with the golf course itself. Following the round at Hunter Ranch, my family looked forward to the usually unbelievable offerings at the restaurant on the grounds. Much to our surprise the restaurant had been taken over by new ownership and we found the food unsatisfactory. We missed the obvious sign upon entering of seeing few to no patrons. Under the previous ownership and management the restaurant was always bustling, with a mixture of golfers and business patrons from the local environ. While food was a sad note, the course played as has always been promised, and anticipated: competitive and well kept. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Flew into Paso Robles airport and grabbed an Uber to the course 10 minutes away. Staff were very friendly, gave us a few local tips and pointed us to the driving range. Range was very basic, but plenty of room. Course was quiet and we played as a twosome, were never held up or pushed from behind. Fairways and greens were in good condition, unlike the tee boxes that showed signs of wear with barespots and uneveness. I owuld rather have the tee boxes bare than the fairways, so not a big issue. Take notice of the local signs that warn of water that is reachable from the tee box, if oyur not familiar with the layout. We learned the hardway! Will definitlely be heading back to this coursein the near future.

Greens are fabulous…it was a hot summer day…drink cart would have be nice. Did have several ice containers. Staff very friendly.

I played on a Friday in August and found the course in excellent condition. The staff was friendly and the round was fun in spite of the very slow play. I would say the green fees are a little overpriced for the central coast.

The biggest disappointment was the food being served in the club house. The BLT used to be huge, and one of the best tasting in central California. Unfortunately, now it is a fraction of the size with generic bread at twice the cost. I hope this was just a one off. We’ll see when I come here again next month. Otherwise, I’ll find a cooler coastal course at a comparable price and a better food and clubhouse experience.

Had an absolutely wonderful day. Camp less than 4 miles from course at cava Robles…very convenient! Greens were impeccable. Given the 90+ temperatures the fairways were good. Gentleman in the pro shop was very nice, laid back and helpful. Would have enjoyed a beverage cart. Look forward to playing in the fall when it’s cooler.

All of the staff, including on course, were friendly and welcoming. There are multiple practice greens throughout the property and a free 3-hole practice par 3. The condition of the course was excellent. There were watering greens and the course throughout the day. A lot of shot requires course knowledge for placement of shots. This just makes me want to play it again.

The carts come equipped with a range finder, good improvement. Also there is an auto shut off if the cart gets to close to the green. Only 2 holes had markers showing you where to stay out of. The rest of them you had to guess. On hole 13 it shut the cart down about 90 yards from the green. We did alot of backing up to get out of the 'dead' range. All holes need to be to have some indication to show where they cannot go. Also the check in desk should tell you about the auto shut off. Other than that a wonderful day on the course.

Greens are usually in nice shape and consistent Wind usually picks up around noon to 1 so play early. The back nine can be punishing in the wind.. Couple of rough holes condition wise, Plenty of hard area off fairway. Overall, worth a bit of a drive.

This is one of my favorite courses. The fairways and greens are well maintained, and it’s a tough course, definitely keeps you on your toes!
