Santa Barbara Golf Club

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.

My wife and I played on April 12. We were paired with another twosome of friendly gentlemen. The weather was clear and warm with light breezes that increased in the afternoon. The pace of play was excellent as we never had to wait for any shot and were never pressed from behind. Although the scorecard looks as if this course is not very challenging the terrain will require golfers of all skill levels to pay close attention. The condition of the course was excellent, fairways were lush, the rough was just long enough to present a challenge, and the greens putted quick and true. The greens have subtle breaks that require your full attention. The GolfNow Hot Deal price was a great deal. The practice range is from mats and is a short walk down and back up a steep hill. All in all it was a good day of golf.

The course is being worked on so several of the tees have been moved forward many yards. The greens are in nice shape and well maintained. All in all a good deal and a nice course.

Course is very playable even with the current rennovations going on. Would not hesitate to play it again.

First time golfing at Santa Barbara Country Club. I live in Whittier Ca and was in Santa Barbara for the weekend with my family. I had booked a 2 some online through GOLFNOW and planning on playing with a client that lives in the area. My client was not able to play after and I was impressed how the staff accommodating me as a single player. I went out earlier than my tee and joined a 2 some, we finished the course in less than 4 hours!!!! amazing....you can do that at in LA course....overall great weather, great course, and great experience

Tee boxes are hit or miss. Fairways are decent. Greens are slow to average. POP is average. The course is easy without many challenges. It's a great place to play if you're still learning or just want to get in some golf without wanting to throw your club 50 yards. The 19th hole is a must for your last stop. Everyone here, from the staff to the players, are extremely friendly. It's the reason why I keep coming back.

4.5 hour round
Driving Range Ball Buckets are miniscule. ;-(
Staff is Great though and my Son and I had a good golfing experience.

Got a great rate on a GN HotDeal of $25 each including cart so took the attitude that if we weren't enjoying the course we'd lose nothing by finishing after nine holes. As it turned out the course and overall experience of SBGC was great. For a heavily played track it was in good condition and the greens were true and reasonably quick.

Previous reviews had criticised the staff's attitude but we found the Pro and starter very friendly and accommodating.. The range is a bit short and limiting and the range balls are awful but for getting the rust out of your swing it does the job.

Pace of play was poor to start with until a 4some who knew their way around decided to double back and repeat a couple of holes which led to a clear run in front of us and finished in under 4:15 which for a two ball in a mainly 4 ball field was fine.

Overall very happy for the $50 bucks spend.

the starter seemed friendly at first, but his attitude changed when we said we booked through golf now. we did get out eight minutes before our start time, but there were at least two twosomes going out that we could have joined and then a twenty minute wait before we got on the course.it is a fun course, the marshal could not have been nicer.

I was treated like a third rate citizen for getting a discounted teetime from golf now by the pro shop. They told me I had not paid when I had. The $30 clubs the rented me were not worth $30 at a garage sale. 15 year old Bazooka driver and 3 wood. No hybrid, 10 year old Nike irons missing the PW that was replace with a Titleist from 1998. Putter was no name that looked like it was drug behind a car on the highway. The grips were so worn and hard it was hard to even hold onto the sticks and grooves were smooth and packed with mud. . They also only had 12 clubs in the bag. The local college guys I played with were the only thing that made the round fun. Would have loved to had my sticks because the course was pretty. The staff is a joke and should be fired. This could be a really nice course if they had a good staff and cared at all, wich they don't. I will play somewhere else next time I am in town.

Played on a Friday mid-day on a great Hot Deal $26. Starter who also is running the pro-shop does a decent job getting foursomes off the first tee. Course was full so pace of play was slow with a 4.5 hour round. Biggest bummer was the condition of the greens and some of the fairways. Real dry and brown and bare spots in many places. Layout for a mini is interesting and plays as a Par 70. Saw drink girl once and the snack bar and dining area is nice with a great selection.

Nice open course in good condition, especially the greens are fine.

Course is in great shape despite the ongoing drought. Pace of play was great. Finished in less than 4 hours.
