Good game of golf in Santa Barbara
The pace of 18 holes was very good. No waiting on any of the holes for other golfers.
All the greens and fairways seem to be in good shape . Very few hazards.

Short but Tricky
Great layout! Definitely walkable but I didn't as it was my 1st time there. All the par 3's are a challenge even tho a few are super short! The par 5's were within reach in 2 if u hit a superb drive n solid wood in from the tips. Pace was good. Greens were true but a bit on the slower side for me. Good muni track!

The course has slow play
The round was frustrating characterized by slow play. No marshals were evident to speed the pace of play. I do accept slow play becuase it affects my golf game.

Excellent municipal golf course
With inside City limits convenience, this 6,019-yard public golf course offers more of a challenge than it’s length suggests—lots of trees, elevation changes, sand and manicured greens that can be quick and tricky. “Muni” also beautiful mountain views, a peak at the ocean, a fully stocked clubhouse, affordable rates and homemade American and Mexican food at its independently managed Mulligans Restaurant and bar.
