Almost Like Heaven
We had breakfast at the Grill, srvice and food was good. Headed out for some practice putting and then off to #1. We were joined by two local Dudes, who showed us the way around the course during play. Nicest guys ever, and very patient with our play. Made our visit fantastic. We will play there again. Solvang is a beautiful place to visit and play golf.

This course is awesome. You must play here when passing thru or staying. Put this on your list of courses. Beautiful scenery on every hole.
Precision off the tee box for about 4 holes. Don’t be afraid of the water
Play with someone that won’t try to describe to about every hole
I played here 2 days in a row. The second day was way better experience and play.
Nice afternoon
I played as a single and enjoyed a quick round, including a tasty hot dog at the turn. Conditions were perfect, unlike my round.

My buddy and I played this course as we recreated the trip from the movie Sideways. We truly enjoyed the corse, it was challenging and a bit messy from grass clippings but the experience was awesome!

This course is amazing
It has everything you need to enjoy a fun game of golf.
Underwhelming
It was just ok. Nothing really stood out. Was in good shape for the most part. Staff is great. Course is just nothing g special.
Nice surprise
I had no idea what to expect. I thought wide open easy layout. Not so fast there partner. It was much tighter, with some dog legs and trees and bunkers positioned just in the right place. Course conditions were generally good. Greens speeds are fairly slow but do have some break and roll true. For bent greens very slow but after a few holes I got the feel. Play smart here and you can score. Clubhouse is typical California style and they say food is good but didn’t get to try it. Driving range available but small and I think use limited flight balls. Fine for warm up. Glad I played and good option for the area.
Value +
Great staff, best value around. Will never host the US Open but a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff that actually appreciates their customers. Very nice facilities. Fantastic restaurant. Well worth the money.
Everything is above average
Wife & I played at 11;40 (tee off time) Paice of play, course condition, hot dog at turn and check in could not have been better
