Great place to play

Play this course 20 times a year or more. Great deals on golf now. Carts are open. I prefer to walk. 18 holes greens are fast most days. Wind can be a factor depending on time of day and time of year. Traps are fair to good condition. Tee boxes have had some major improvements over the last 8 months.

Hidden gem

I didn’t expect a lot. But they somehow made a great course out of plain land. Loved every aspect of it. Good conditions too.

Obvious isn't it?

Better to walk than ride on this course full of bumpy tree roots and no paved cart paths and carts without roofs. This course has the only flat driving range on the Central coast

Pretty surroundings

Winter golf

Everything is in good shape considering how much play it gets except many tee boxes. This time of year the ball rolls and rolls on the fairways. I play here often and sometimes it s slow but that's the exception not the rule.

Lighting greens

The part about this course that separates it from others are the greens. The layout is alright there could be improvements. But the greens are so fast and well maintained it’s a different kind of course than you anticipate. Some needed rolling to eliminate the bumps and air raiding is needed as minor touch ups.

Great Track for the money

This open muni course offers generous fairways that play fast and firm. Accuracy is a must since most of the greens are small and undulating. The course is in it’s best condition in the late summer and Fall timeframe. There are some elevation changes that offer an added challenge. Views of the Valley from the back nine holes are striking but also can be challenging if the prevailing wind picks up.

Good public course at a good value.

Many things to like about this course. The best way for this course to improve would be to get rid of the bunch grass and improve the bunkers.

Very windy

This is a great course, however if you plan on playing after noon or 1 pm, be prepared for the wind to be ripping. The wind on the back nine is miserable in the afternoon and it’s freezing!
