Glen Annie Golf Club

I understand slow rounds on the weekend but mid-week and it's still so slow I skipped 2 holes just because I couldn't hang on any longer. As others have mentioned the bunkers are terrible but the greens are great. It's on par with SB Muni and it should be better.

I grew up in Goleta and have been playing this course for many years. It used to be my favorite course in the SB area. For the last few years, the grounds have been very, very poor. There’s pretty much zero sand in every bunker and you’re hitting out of dirt, rocks & mud. The fairways are in decent condition. The greens are great! But around the greens on most holes is pretty rough. Overall its pretty disappointing playing Glen Annie these days and certainly not worth what they’re charging. I’m a member at Sandpiper as well as Glen Annie. Sandpiper grounds are 10x better and I can play there for the same price or even cheaper. Glen Annie is simply not maintained/managed well.

I play this course often and the greens are great. The bunkers and fairways are really bad for the price of a round. $98 is really a horrible price when you have sandpiper down the road for a couple more bucks. The potential is there but man did they let he fairways go unfortunately. I want to have better things to say since it’s a home course but I only scramble here now with buddies. I’d play there more if fairways were similar to the greens

The front side plays well, knowing the front would have been a true advantage. The back is kind of billy goat meats miniature golf! Hilly, unfair lies, blind shots, fall off greens, questionable yardage . I’m an average golfer, now that I’ve played this course, I see no reason to have to play it again….

The track is a little quirky but after a couple times it gets better - Sunday was slow but should be expected. I will play again and enjoy every minute.

I like the course, but management has decided to PACK the tee times in so tight that it took 6hrs to play 18. We waited on every shot, starting at the first tee!

Sand traps are absolute concrete. Not worth playing out of unless you want to brake a club

Best course ever, it's green, gorgeous and challenging. Fun on the back nine including 3 cliff shots into the canyons. Many holes with ocean and island views. Low key, easy to park, friendly staff, good food and great cocktails. I golf here twice a week for years and love it each time.

Always fun, challenging but fair, watch your speed on high side of greens, don't get disappointed when you can't reach first green- it gets better

The greens were recently punched, so I can deal with that. But the tee boxes were in terrrible shape, it was almost as if they looked for the most rough and uneven area that had the least amount of grass. The "sand traps" were basically dried clay holes that were about as sandy as a baseball infield. You'd break your clubs (or wrists) trying to hit a shot out of theis dry lake bed. The round took almost 5 1/2 hours to play. Brutal

The tee boxes were terrible. The greens were bumpy. The "sand traps" were dry lakes beds of hardened clay. The round took 5hr 15 minutes to play

When I booked this for the two of us, I was not made aware that the course was under maintenance conditions. So not until we show up ready to play are we made aware that the back nine is closed. Have to play the front twice. Worse is how mostly dry the course was. The greens were completely covered in sand. Not a little sand, buy more like a thick half inch thick of sand. I get that courses have to do maintenance, that’s what makes them nice but why do they hide this fact when it is in progress. We were on a vacation itinerary and prepaid so were basically forced to play under these conditions. Sad.

The course used to be fun to play. Now, it is a grind and very frustrating. 4 hours or less is ideal. 4 1/2 is supposed to be max. But over 5 is really ridiculous. I will find another place to spend my money.

We used to play here often but moved from the area. Down for the day and remembered the course well. Always liked it.

The middle age white man the works in the Pro shop on Saturdays during the twilight reservations has been nothing but rude to me for the past three or four reservations. I don’t think he has any personal bias against me and his behavior is indiscriminate as other patrons I’ve played with at the course have also complained of his rude and unprofessional demeanor. In one such Instance after paying for my reservation and cart that I booked online He never gave me a cart key so after having to remind him for that key to the cart I was setting my golf bag in the cart and he decided to come out and tell me that all of the carts were reserved. So I took my bag off the cart and was waiting for some type of cue from the man in the pro shop but he newer said anything. The gentleman responsible for maintaining the golf carts and cleaning them for people with reservations said to me “you can grab any cart that you want”. The guy at the pro shop came out again and said I would have to wait but my reservation was in less than 10 minutes. I couldn’t fathom who would need the cart when my reservation was coming up in the next 10 minutes. I eventually grabbed my golf bag out of the cart without any refund as I didn’t want to lose me tee time because this guy was on some type of power trip. Two weeks later I am met with the same middle aged white man at the pro shop. This time after I paying for my reservation and cart he tells me I will be sharing my cart with another single. I asked him why I would be sharing my cart with a stranger during the pandemic when I paid for my cart in full. This clearly disgruntled him and he mumbled something under his breath and decided to drop the issue.

It’s a shame so many at Glenn Annie do a wonderful job to provide a good experience. Why put someone in the pro shop who doesn’t like to serve customers and smile? It quite a shame because the course is quite lovely.

This course is in the foothills and has a lot of ups and downs. There are a good 5 holes with awkward layouts which distracts from the overall experience. The greens were in good shape but the tee boxes and fairways were in need of maintenance.
