The Sea Ranch Golf Links
About
Sea Ranch Golf Links opened in 1974 as one of the first Scottish links-style golf courses to be built in the Western United States. The front nine stretches along the rugged North Coast, offering plenty of scenic ocean views, while the back nine moves inland, incorporating the small creeks that meander across the landscape. Mature redwoods and natural sea grass rough accent the golf course, especially along the fairways to provide some challenges. The design is noted for blending seamlessly with the scenic surroundings. While the golf course can seem intimidating, four diverse sets of tees make it more approachable for a range of skill levels. In addition to the course, Sea Ranch is also popular for its practice facilities, which include an all-grass driving range and two short game areas with putting and chipping greens.

links fun
We played this course 5 yrs ago and it was in terrible shape but now it was a true links course. Green fairways that are a must to hit with trouble lurking left and right. Greens in great shape but very slow so take that into account when putting. Par 3's were a blast and par 5's reachable and very fair.
Improved A Lot....BUT
Great setting and very fun course. The weather can be part of the fun and the challenge. The course has made a lot of improvements under the new ownership and I am very happy with what is taking place overall....BUT....the greens are ridiculously slow....ridiculously! I'm guessing that the superintendent does not golf so would someone please tell him/her that experienced golfers hate slow greens in general but the Sea Ranch Links greens are just plain maddening!! A 6 foot putt needs to be hit as though it were a 20 footer...and a 20 footer takes a full shoulder turn. This is truly a very big negative and I hope that they will address the problem sooner than later.
Sea Ranch Is Getting Better
There have been a lot of course improvements made in the last couple of years and they are noticeable. Intrusive trees have been trimmed...a few more needed, fairways and more of the course are now being watered and they have grass...maybe a bit too shaggy for the week we played and much better carts. But those greens...plenty of grass and well maintained but way, way, way too slow. Superintendent, putting is a fine touch art. Literally having to bang the ball at the hole is not fun or rewarding. It ruins the entire round. I half considered putting with my hybrid so I could whack it hard enough. I brought this up several times over the past year to management but they aren't buying it. That's a shame because everything else is moving in the right direction.
Still Very Pleased!
I really enjoy the Sea Ranch Links course. The course layout, the setting and the pace of play are all excellent. The course conditions are ever improving. Overall, the course provides a great value, so I play it every chance I get!
Improved
As long as they don't change the price I give sea ranch 4 outta 5..options are slim in the area..2 other courses an hour away in each direction..beer price is decent also
Scenic Layout
Course has a scenic layout with many views of the Pacific Ocean off many holes. 8th hole is worth the trip and the views of the ocean are amazing.
Course conditions could be better. But greens were in great shape.
Course is in great shape
The greens and fairways are in great condition. Haven’t seen that in some time. Hats off to the green keepers,and staff.
Good Course & Great Staff
I frequently play the Sea Ranch Links course. The greens are always in excellent shape and the fairways are steadily improving. The staff is very friendly and always accommodating. They always make me feel welcome.
Winter golf
It was a beautiful day on the coast. Tsrgc was in good shape. Finally green grass. Should be great this spring. Keep up the hard work.
Fun course
Fon to play but weather a factor in winter. Look for sunny days.
course in transition
Differed maintenance seems to be the main issue, not much play up there so no money to fix things. They have stopped watering most fairways.
