Good value

The quality of the course is right on par with many other central coast courses, but the price is better. Beet value on the central coast.

3 hr 30 min for 9

When I booked through Golfnow, I wasn’t informed about a your tournament. We teed off about 30 minutes behind schedule. It took 3 1/2 hours to play the front nine. Could not stick around for the back. No course marshals to help push play along. I will be a different course from now on.

Great Value!

I really enjoyed my first time at this course. It was a cloudy day and it rained briefly halfway through, but I still had a really fun time. The course was decent and I liked the layout. It wasn't too easy or too difficult. Best of all, I didn't lose any balls! People were very nice and courteous. For the price I paid, there's definitely nothing to complain about! I would definitely come back!

Fun course but disappointed with customer service

The employee at the Pro Shop did not honor the GolfNow discounted rate. I booked a round for $16, payed the $3 convenience fee and the man at the Pro shop charged me $50. He also didn’t seem to be familiar with the central coast golf card, which my partner was using for his round. Fun course though, nice driving range and well kept greens.

Tee boxes and sand traps

Level out the tee boxes (you know the holes) and add sand to the traps. This course is top notch nevertheless.

A little rough around the edges

The greens were in great shape, hard and fast. The rest of the course is sketchy, the fairways not so nice. Maybe it hadn't been mowed in days...but why? Had many lies in the middle of the fairway that were nestled in tall grass clumps!
