Greens are really in great condition.

Don't let this short course fool you. The greens can be tricky and pay attention to pin locations to give yourself a good putt for them pesky birdies. Be sure to take in the beautiful mountain views and take some time to enjoy a bite to eat on the patio at Mulligans, which has some delicious grub, thirst quenching libations and great views of the golf course.

The only reason pace of play was not a zero , the extra super slow 4some in front of us left after a 3:10 hour front 9. They were almost 3 holes behind when the Marshall finally showed up. Tried to purchase some drinks and snacks for round but after 10 minutes waiting I grabbed a granola and just left $2 on counter(kitchen help apologized). I will play course again but will avoid the restaurant and snack bar.

Muni Monday's are the best!

Enjoyed the Golf Now Monday Special.

Santa Barbara Golf Club is in great shape with smooth greens and lush fairways. The pace of play was about four hours (good for a 1:30pm tee time). Went to Muligans befor the round for a great burger and enjoyed a cocktail after the round as well. All in all, a perfect way to spend a Monday afternoon. Nice to know "the muni" is in good hands! The new Management and staff do a great job.

Sticky Rough

Beautiful town, beautiful weather, and a well maintained municipal course made our day a special one. The friendly staff and the two singles we picked up only added to our good day. The course is a little short (just over 6,000 yards), but the prevailing winds help to alleviate the distance shortage and provide plenty of challenge. A word of caution for those who like to run their shots onto the greens: beware of the Bermuda grass guarding each of these greens - it is sticky! Once on the putting surface, all is good. Smooth rolls.

Looking forward to another round on our next visit to Santa Barbara.
