Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort

Course was in great shape even in this drought! Greens rolled great. I will be playing here again!

A morning round at this course is a Great complement to your wine tasting tour. It's a nice setup and in great conditions for this time of the year. A bit pricey for this level of golf course. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for an activity that complements we'll with touristique visits and wine tasting.

Excellent condition and great pace of play, well worth the price through golf now.com

It was a last minute decision. Arrived there at 330pm for a tee time at 400pm. We advised the guy working in the proshop that we needed clubs. We were advised that we had to be back by 630pm as he was closing the proshop? 630? So we had to hurry and golf in 330hr. Round and cart cost was $40.00 each and club rental were $ 40.00 a set. Expensive as the club were not in great condition. I almost felt that we were bothering the guy at the proshop. Otherwise good round.

The golf course is in great shape. With the drought and water restrictions in Southern California. A must play

Course in great condition considering drought and wide open on a nice Sunday afternoon.

Returned to this course after a 15 year absence. Happy to see the small trees have matured nicely providing a clear view on how each hole runs from tee to greens. Greens were in very good condition and rolled true. Only negative is the lack of visible yardage on sprinklers or fairway markers. However, I look forward to returning again!

Played with friends from Santa Barbara and enjoyed the outing very much. A fun course to play with a fair landing areas and sufficient bunkering to make it interesting and penalized the errant shot. Greens were large and relatively flat but in great condition and receptive to well hit shots. Not much elevation changes on the course but trees and a few water hazards create some psyc factors. We played early and had no one in front of us. We let one three some of locals play through as they were playing faster than we were. Otherwise we had the place to ourselves. We finished just in time for a nice lunch on the patio. Located in the interesting town of Solvang where you could spend a day visiting the many shops and venues of Danish heritage.

Course was in very good shape for the drought conditions we are experiencing. Open course that is very forgiving up to a point.

We have golfed at the River Course several times and find it to be a very pleasant and enjoyable place both on the course and the restaurant where the food is excellent (open for lunch only). The setting is very peaceful, the golf course was in wonderful condition and the staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Had a wonderful round of golf, very fair course and worth every penny, would highly recommend.

I would play this course everyday if I could. Great fun to play here!. Cool in the am before 8:00...54 degrees. Beautiful course. Great deal with golf now

Went out early on a Monday morning and was able to play by myself. Course is in excellent condition. Fairways manicured, and greens are like carpet.

I was out with the grounds keeper. They were doing their thing and I was doing mine. Although some hole I was hitting into a field of sprinklers watering the fairways, it didn't bother me, but it might others.

Love the course. Look forward to my next round here.

Great course, great conditions top notch staff. The river course is a cool layout with winding fairways, water and wonderful views of the Santa ynez Hills. Gotta be accurate off the tee as there are some tight tree lined passages to navigate. Make sure to stay for lunch as the steak tacos are amazing. Seriously.

The River course at Allisal Ranch is a very nice course. It is lined on the fairways with Sycamore tress. they can be troublesome at times. very scenic outlay. The course has fairly flat greens. nice fairway grasses and the tee boxes are nicely done. best to go in the morning early, because it can get hot and windy.

Found a great deal to play some golf on Saturday morning (Golfnow Hot Deal) and really enjoyed the round. The course was a great shape and the pace of play was excellent. The deal was great but even for the standard rate on Golfnow, you would get good value for your money.

The experience with the staff was a bit poor. Prior to the round, found out a good friend was going to be attending the same wedding and called the Pro Shop to see if they could accommodate us adding another (we were a twosome) or moving us around to find space. There was zero effort to help us out and basically told tough luck. When we get to the course, it's an absolute gong show off the first tee (I was given the impression on the phone that they run a tight ship, obviously not the case) and we ended up playing as a twosome. Clearly would not have been a problem to accommodate us adding another and it ended up being a lost opportunity to play a round with a friend who lives across the country.

The customer service aside, the course was fun, challenging and in great shape. Definitely recommend it but just don't expect any willingness to accommodate you as a guest.

WOW, What fun my friend and I had. 18 holes, beautiful scenery, absolutely no one around, large wide fairways. Be sure to bring snacks / drinks with you, we found out a little late after 2 everything is closed. Come prepared
.

What a lovely get away place to spend a day. Looks like some where from a movie like Darby oh gill and the little people. Wow what a view each hole has. Just good for the soul.

simply beautiful. Great facility, great views and great weather. a must play when visiting the central coast!!

grenns were aerated, we were not made aware of this until we got to the 1st green. practice driving range very poor, ground not flat or have much grass. limited hitting area.

chipping area very limited. putting green good!
