Santa Barbara Golf Club

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.

We played for $20 on a Saturday on a hot deal. It took us 3 hours and 25 min to play. Best experience in pace of play I have had on this course.

This course has stunning views, well groomed fairways and fast, difficult sloping greens.

We played at a special twilight rate. We got round in 3.5 hours. If you come to Santa Barbara there is no better public course.

Good day on the course overall. Just a few groups of younger players taking their sweet time and slowing the pace of play. But you get that all the time anywhere you go...

Course difficulty started out mild but the back 9 has some real challenging holes especially 16, 17, and 18. Didn't think a muni would be so challenging. Course in very good condition. Greens rolled well. Enjoyed it very much. Will be back.

This is a true mini... I love the community feel of the course, and the staff is great, but it is not much of a golfing experience. Lots of tank tops and once a year golfers, which is great. But the course is only so so, and the pace of play (Friday mid-day) was painful. I think we have, finally, learned our lesson and will not play there again.

We got an awesome deal for a nice course. Tee boxes were in fair condition,fairways were nice and green. Was in a few green side bunkers they played nice. Pace of play was a bit slow for me and my partner but made the best of it. Some of the greens are not as nice as other holes. But for the deal on a nice course with epic views of the mountains was well worth it. I will definitely be back soon

Thought the course was fair at best. To be accurate previous weeks rain had led not having the ability to mow grass and there were wet spots. That was understandable. Not understandable was the slow play, almost six hours for the round. There was a match play event against another club which probably attributed to the slow play. But if that was scheduled tee times should have been adjusted. Views of the mountain were great. Some of the hole layouts probably led to slow play because of blind shots and landing areas. All in all it would not be a course I would want to play again. Greens looked great visually but were very bumpy.... maybe overseeding. Bottom line was I didn't think the course was worth the price that was charged.

Great day for a relaxing round at Muni

Good value using hot deal from golfnow. Walked front nine, but many hills convinced us to take cart on back nine. Pace of play was ok, not great. Course plays longer than you think with many elevation changes. The greens were in good shape, fairways a little rougher.

Course in great condition, greens pretty good. Very good course for a muni. Well worth the money. Tough to beat the weather. Basically pretty forgiving course, only lost 2 balls, but that was on me. Food at Mulligans is excellent. A few TVs in bar area, plenty of outside seating. You will have a pleasant time if you play there.
