Great public course

Santa Maria Golf Course is a great public course with an almost Resort feel. It is a challenging Robert Trent Jones designed course. The greens are in great shape as well as the bunkers and fairways. The staff at SM are very friendly and helpful. The grill and bar are closed and that is my only complaint. I have played here many times and love this course.

The Beauty of SM

Wonderful to play. Fast paced. Loved the layout. Lots of beautiful landscapes. Saw some home owners doing major upgrades to back lawns budding up to ponds. Nice bayou running along part of course.

Course was dried out, but still played well. Greens were fast. Tee boxes needed watering. Still one of my favorites in the area.

Local favorite

I always enjoy playing at Santa Maria. That is a very playable and sometimes challenging course. Course is usually in good condition. However, it does get a lot of play so sometimes only average. The staff is friendly and engaging. I would recommend.

Declined

I’ve been playing this course for 15+ years. It’s in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it. It is February so I’ll give some slack but the greens are plinko. You have to give yourself an improved lie in the fairway and the rough is mostly dirt. The course is overplayed and trampled. They should be ashamed for charging $60 for a green fee.
