Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort

So my attempt at my 1st round was cancelled without notice because of rain. I called the course, but no one was there to answer. The Golfnow did not accept the course closure as refundable, and so I played it a week later. An ok course, not worth $50, but more like a $30-35 course. Slow play, and seen many groups of people old enough to have seen Jesus complete elementary school. The range isn't special. The "island" 17th was neat.

Great course lots of fun with strategic hole layouts.

Could use sand in traps but very nice course.

Nice course with great views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards. Good variety of holes with some elevation changes over rolling hills. The course was in good shape overall, I would play here again.

Somewhat challenging course with beautiful backdrops everywhere. Some wide fairways and good greens...fast and slow sometime. Finished in 3 hours due to no groups in front in extreme heat. Definitely would play it again in better weather condition.

I like the greens which are a little faster than average and in excellent shape. Both tees and greens are kept in very good condition. Ed who works in the pro shop is cordial and efficient. I rate him superior at doing his job and dealing with the general public. The golf carts are in excellent condition and work well. They have an above average driving range but use mats which I do not prefer.

Rode the Blues (6451/71.1/122), averaging 3H, 15M per round for 36 holes on an UP voucher with GDR23. Clear and 70ish. Breezy in the a.m. round, windy in the p.m. round.

Tees had okay coverage but were bumpy, unlevel and could use divot repair. Weak link of the course, the par 3's in particular were fairly chewed up.

Fairways were semi lush and usually good to play from, but also had several thin lies.

Rough was not overly tall but was consistent and well maintained.

Sand traps were okay considering no rakes. Decently maintained with thick, medium sand.

Greens putted smooth and were very consistent from green to green. I see the lines well here and really like these greens.

The customer service was excellent, the pro shop got us out ahead of our tee time. No on course services or water available with COVID-19. Basic carts do not have GPS and the course is not well marked for yardages. Food good but pricey at the busy restaurant. I like this course, it has been above average very visit in the last decade. Recommended.

We had never played this course and needed a break from LA golf. The weather was warmer than by the coast but not as hot as the valley - just perfect! The course was in good condition and the pace of play was pretty good. They have a great patio area we would've liked to sit at, but no time. The food was ok, not the best. We would definitely recommend the course to friends as the staff was friendly, the price was affordable and it's a fun course!

The course is well maintained . The greens run trueand are consistent from hole to hole.
