Great Course
Really nice course regardless of price. For the price, this place is truly amazing. $60/person on a Friday morning is insane for how nice this course is. The greens are super well kept with few unfixed pitch marks and good even trim around the first and second cuts.
Only problem was finding balls in the rough. It was a pretty thick first cut plus with the early morning light, every fallen leaf looked like a ball. Hit your fairways and you are golden.
Overall, great course, great price, highly recommend.
Nice course!
Greens were in great shape and played true. The only thing I found bad were the sand traps, or make that no sand traps. Little sand and hard packed made hitting out a challenge.
6-some
Great course. Great staff.
Only issue was that a 6-some was allowed to play by the marshal. It disrupted the round for several groups. The marshal made an attempt to skip the group up a couple holes but they bogged things down again on the back nine. It disrupted any chance of playing at a normal rhythm
.
Lovely course
The course was very well kept and the scenery was beautiful. The course had its challenges but was not too punishing. Fun to play.
Course has potential
The tee boxes need some help and the greens are shaggy. But standard layout and good for the price I reckon.
Very Nice
Really enjoyed the course and amenities Lunch was excellent at the Ranch course lounge
Nice time of Year to play Alisal
For current conditions: Greens are fairly hard and true. Fairway nicely maintained. Check weather report for wind conditions. If foggy on the coast it's windy at Alisal. Overall a pleasant experience and a great location in Solvang. Worth the drive.
Best course in the Area
Very tight but fun course in the area. Always have a blast playing this course. It is in great shape every time I play a round. In my opinion….my favorite place for a round of golf on the Central Coast.
The golf course was good value for the price. The cart paths could use some work.
Bueatiful
We had a beautiful day playing this scenic and challenging course.
