River Course at Alisal

Recently played here on a quick 2 day vacation from LA. The course charged me 90$ at 9 am only to find out they let a 5 some and a 6 some out before us. Pace of play was horrendous not mention holes 10-18 were having all of their tee boxes repaired. So instead of having a 150 yard par 3 it turned into a 50 yard par 3 not to mention all the other holes were absolutely ridiculous. It felt like the back 9 was a pitch and putt. I understand that courses need to be maintained but the greed to charge almost 100$ a person only to have half of a golf course actually playable is completely ridiculous. Also, a 6 some really? I won’t be playing here again.

I play this course several times each year and I was shocked when I made the turn and found the tee boxes moved forward up to 100 yards! Hole 17 is only 40 yards in total length! The price should be reduced during the repairs to the back nine tee boxes. A great course usually and once this is behind them I will be back out there.

First time golfing here impressed with the staff , clubhouse,on course snack bar. The scenery and layout of the golf course beautiful. The only regret was the tee boxes on the back 9 we're under construction and you had to tee off on make shift tee areas. Other than that would play here again and recommend this course.

The entire back nine was on temporary tees, so the course was not playing the way it should be. 17 was a 40 yard par 3. Other than that, the greens were in pretty good shape as were the fairways.

All of the tees on the back nine were under renovation so the temporary tees were moved up to the fairways as much as 150 yards, very disappointing and boring experience so it was difficult to gauge the course as a first timer. Not sure my friends would give me credit for scoring 4 birdies and an eagle in the back nine. The front nine was nice though, challenging.

I have played almost all the courses from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara expect except Spindrift and this is by far the nicest course I've ever played oh, great Pace done in about 3 hours and 15 minutes and the course is just fantastic! A little expensive but worth it

Checked in to find the greens had been punched and sanded two days prior. No warning when tee time was made. Greens were unplayable. Pro shop staff says, “just take an automatic 2 putt.” Sorry that’s not golf.

Coarse condition awful. Teeing areas devoid of grass. Not a single level tee. The markers weren’t every aligned. The sand traps looked like they had Never received any attention from maintenance crew. Large stones in all bunkers. Crusty “sand”. Etc..

Not a bad layout though it is repetitive. A lot of chris crossing direction to tees —

Awesome day of golf- there was a slow group two ahead of us walking- but overall it was very nice

The grass just off the fairways was too long which slowed play because you could not find balls that were only a few feet feet off line.

Beautiful views, fun layout. Nice greens, some tricky holes require previous knowledge, want to play it more often. Been years and it has matured nicely

The course was great, excellent condition, would definitely go back and play.

River Course was in good condition and played very fair. It’s a pleasant day on the course.
