Great layout
This course had the best conditioned fairways and for the time of year was in very good shape. If not for the minor fungus on the greens it would get 5 stars. Drinks were a good value, staff was friendly, will definitely be back

Golden Bear Golf
Great day at Golden Bear, especially for mid February. Fairways were over seeded with rye grass and were green and lush. The greens were soft and reasonably fast. The only drawback was we finished late in the day and holes 16, 17 and 18 played directly into the sun.
