Reviews
Nice day at Alisal
Played here in 4 hours, 10 minutes in a foursome with some friends. The course was in decent shape and we had to wait only 2-3 times. All in all a good course on a nice warm day with only a little wind. We tee’d off at 11:40. A very good value via Golfnow hot deals.
Spring Splendor
This course is in a beautiful setting, especially in the spring with green, oak studded hills in wine country. The challenge level is moderate, but the greens have a coarser grass than most. We enjoyed our round, but the wind was pretty strong from 12-3.
Played 10 holes but paid for 18.
This course plays very slow especially when every older person thinks they are on the PGA tour and takes 5 swings and then hits the ball 150 yards.
Good golf course.
We got this on a "Hot deal" Got to the course early hoping to get breakfast. Due to Covid the restaurant is closed.
Pro shop staff were very friendly.
The course layout is very good.
Fairways were a little worn, but you could always find grass.
The greens were PERFECT!! Rolling true and smooth.
I will definitely play there again.
Take me to The River
Excellent time! Great conditions and weather! Greens were great. Driving range with artificial turf but works to warm up. No restaurant open still with covid. Too bad its really good. Will be back soon.
Great design
Alisal River course is a very fun course to play.
It has a few challenging holes but most are very gettable.
The main problem with this course is you must plan on about a five hour round.
Due to overbooking and slow play.
Alisal River
Beautiful golf course with great views. Their restaurant is hobbled by COVID.
Challenging course with stunning views
The course is in great shape during winter. Fairways and greens are perfect. It is a challenging course that still makes you feel good to play it. The greens are fast and fun to play. Some of the best bunkers around that are large and deep with sand.
