Great Course but Holes 3 and 4 are terribly designed

Everything is pretty good except for hole 3 and 4. If you have played there you know what I'm talking about.

SB Golf Club

Public courses aren’t easy to find in Santa Barbara and for a municipal course in the dead of winter it was in very good condition. Tee boxes were fair, fairways were above average and large greens were excellent. It was an absolutely beautiful day and a must play winter course.

A nice public course

I have been playing Santa Barbara Golf Club once a week for the last 8 months, riding out the pandemic. It's a nice course, and after the round, we have lunch at Mulligan's. Lunch is the best part of my game. And Mulligans is great.
