Saturday Play Great Staff and Good Pace
Great value for the Santa Barbara area. Friendly staff and excellent rates.
Nice Course to Play
I was pleasantly surprised to find this course in Santa Barbara at a reasonable price, and in good playing condition. The staff was excellent and the restaurant, food, service and atmosphere was great. Made a real nice outing for us that day.
John,
Thank you for the kind review of Santa Barbara Golf Club. Thanks for mentioning our playing conditions, staff, restaurant, food, service, and atmosphere.
But, we're happiest that you had a real nice enjoyable day at Santa Barbara Golf Club.
Hope to see you back soon!
some what good
tricky greens, hard to read but in great shape. You need some knowledge of this course or you will shoot high numbers. Push it down the fairways, this is one course you want to stay in control.
Excellent advice for golfers coming to play Santa Barbara Golf Club and glad you found our greens challenging and in good shape.
Hope to see you again soon at Santa Barbara Golf Club.
Puny Muni
Its a fun and decent little muni course. Greens are usually in great shape and it usually plays along pretty quickly. The biggest downside to the course is the driving range. Has to be the worst range I've ever seen or played. Its really that bad. So if you go, plan on not hitting balls or getting a good warm up as the mats, the stalls and the balls are not even worth your time. In fact, they’ll ruin your game they’re so bad!
There are a few funny holes but for the most part the course plays pretty fair. The Kikuyu can be a bit of a challenge to those who are not used to it as its a grabby and sticky turf that sucks the life out of many shots. You're not going to be running to many shots up onto the greens here, so carry the ball all the way to the hole!
I hear they're changing over management so hopefully the new team will improve the range and offer some much needed love to the course. It has the potential of being one of the best muni's in the state but its got a long, long way to go. If the management is reading this please replace the range. If you want to get kids into the game and more play, start there as people need and want a place to hit balls but its current state drives them and their money away.
Very nice course
nice layout and well kept. Fun course, would play again
Manuel,
Thank you for your comment on our golf course. Glad you enjoyed the layout and the conditions of the course.
Even happier to hear you had a fun time at the golf course. Have you been out to play Santa Barbara Golf Club again?
Great Community Course
If you are in Santa Barbara don't hesitate to play this community course. The greens are in excellent condition; they break to the ocean right. Due to the lack of water there are a few dry spots around the course but they have them well marked for free drops, something you rarely see at other courses. Don't let the shorter distance fool you as there are plenty of challenges. Fairways are a must with all the beautiful trees that abound. And the mountain (and some island) views are awesome. Maybe I'll see you there.
Tom,
Thank you for recommending Santa Barbara Golf Club. Thanks for mentioning the excellent conditions of our greens and some great player tips.
Hope to see you out here more often!
Pretty Good
It was alright - will always be held up at Muni on weekends.
Jared,
Thanks for the review. Hope to see you out here again soon!
In great shape this past weekend.
The course has been in great shape lately because of the recent rains. Enjoy, green were soft but fast.
The only issue I had was that they did not honor the reservation as I purchased it. I had to pay for the cart rental even if my receipt showed that it was included.
So it didn't turn out to be the greatest deal as advertised.
Carlos, we are sorry for the mix up. It was our error and we want to make it right. Please email santabarbaragilfclub@gmail.com and we will be able to get a free round voucher to you. Best, SBGC
santa barbara golf
overall course condition great. pace of play was good for public course
Miranda,
Thank you for the great review. Really glad you enjoyed the course conditions and the pace of play.
Hope to see you again soon!
Too slow
What can I say.....in 4.5 hours got through 14 holes. Too slow and too crowded. Still, a nice course and reasonably priced. Go early morning or weekday.
Thank you for your comments Stewiel. We are sorry that you were slowed down and will work hard to improve pace of play at weekends, but pleased you liked the course.
Excellent Muni Course
I thought the course was in very good shape for a municipal course. Even the sand traps were decent. Pay was a little slow, but not too bad. We finished in 4 1/2 hours. The price was great.
Rob,
Thank you for the review. Thanks for commenting on the good shape our golf course is in and the sand traps.
Hope to see you out here again soon!
good deal, good course
Very happy for the money, good practice course.
Was a bit slow but middle of the day it is expected.
Glad to hear you were very happy with your round. Hope to see you out here again soon!
Great place to spend your weekend

Joseph,
Really glad you and your son had a great day out on the course. Thank you for recognizing the well maintained course conditions, the good pace, the challenging greens and the course layout.
Hope to see you and your son here again soon!
Nice muni track
This course is in great shape for the drought conditions we are in. Best bang for the buck in Santa Barbara.
Thank you for the kind words. Nice to know our course is the best bang for the buck in Santa Barbara.
Hope to see you out here again soon!
Santa Barbara Golf Club
This municipal golf course gets a lot of play, but it is maintained and run very well.
Thomas,
Thank you for the great review. Really glad you like the way the course is run and how it is maintained.
See you at Santa Barbara Golf Club soon I hope.
Good location
Nice course, good location, nice carts and friendly staff. Greens a bit slow and it also would have been nice to use more than irons on the ranch.
Glad you enjoyed the course, location and staff. And thank you for your feedback on the greens and the Driving Range.
Hope to see you back again soon!
The greens were in great shape
Wide open. Fun course to play. The greens were true. Had a good round. Pace of play was good.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed your round at Santa Barbara Golf club. Hope to see you again soon!
Good value
Greens were nicely maintained and consistently fast. Course has too many blind shots though. All in all a good value.
Thank you!
Easy breezy @ the beach
Great golf course!! Only played nine holes but should have played all 18. Had to cut short to take wife shopping. I will be back to play it again!!!
Thank you for the kind words Samuel. Glad to hear you enjoyed the 9 holes you played and glad to hear you'll be coming back.
We hope your shopping with the wife went well too.
See you again soon!
First Time
Played during very hot day (94 F) so the walk was more than expected. Course was in good shape and the greens were excellent, but super fast due to dry weather for a few days. Would definitely play again if in the area. Good value for sure.
Thank you for the kind words. Have you been back since?
