Hot Garbage

Gave this 1 star because 0 wasn’t an option. The two players I went with love this place but I just don’t see it. The layout is okay, but the greens were absolutely terrible. Very dry conditions, ball would not hold green or fairways. This is the second time I’ve ever played this course and twice I’ve felt like it was a waste of money and my time. This place is hot garbage, straight jankass. Will not play here again. If you wanna waste time and money, go spend less and do it at any of the other local BR courses that at minimum are proportionate to the amount of dumpster fire conditions that this place was.

The greens were the worst i've ever seen at Santa Maria. Honestly I think we deserve a rain check because we were notified of the conditions

Tough shape

The course was in tough shape, tee box all chewed up, sand traps not maintained, lots of dead barren spots on most greens and no difference between fairways and rough. Overall tough shape.

Grass or mud?

If it weren't for the tee boxes, greens, and numerous areas missing grass, this would be a great course.

Course conditions have been better and worse

I found the last 2-3 weeks the course ha been extremely dry/hard. The ball bounces and rolls forever, including in green shots.

ENJOYABLE ROUND

Love the layout of this course. It played short because the dry conditions made the fairways very fast. In spite of this, the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were medium to fast and fairly uniform throughout in spite of the drought conditions. Also, poana grass intrusion was not a problem. Though there was tons of play, we managed to complete our round in just over three hours. Only downside was neglect of fellow golfers to rake bunkers. Highly recommend this course. Looking forward to going back.

Great for a Muni

The course is decent with good greens. I can tell it gets a lot of traffic. The staff is nice and understandably; they do put you with a group of you’re a single. I’d play it again and would recommend it.

Top 10 Public course in Southern LA

I play every Saturday, regardless of talent. I've played almost every course between Baton Rouge and Biloxi. Santa maria is in my top 5 of great courses I can play. Course layout, price, staff and amenities, not many course in this area can compete. 10 minutes after an hour rain delay, and it was still awesome. 4thumbs up from me.

Nice course with good layout, greens were very very fast. Greens could use some water but other than that great course.

Friday golf

Course layout is great, elevation changes, soft sand in bunkers, challenging design. When I played the course conditions were very dry. Due to this keeping balls on the greens from a long approach was difficult. Putting was fast and pure. Loved this course.
