Beautiful day
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
.
Wonderful Time
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.
First Time
simply beautiful. Great facility, great views and great weather. a must play when visiting the central coast!!
ALISAL
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!
Wind in the Afternoon
If the wind is at 15 MPH then add two clubs minimum on holes 13-16 when hitting into the green.......
Great Day
7:20 tee off. Finished by 11. Greens recently punch
Well maintained even after the rain!
Fun course with some challenging holes. The only drawback is the poor layout in some areas. But, we'll be back to play again.
Wonderful course
Everything about this facility is first class. The people are great. Very good course for ladies. Forward tees are not intimidating. My wife had an excellent time.
Great course overall. Had a great time and there was almost no one there on a Saturday.
Fantastic course for the deal we got! There was literally probably only 4 other carts that we saw all day on a Saturday! Great time!
Excellent course conditions!!!
Beautiful course surroundings. Greens moderate speed in great condition. The whole course was in great shape and staff was friendly and professional! Would recommend this course to anyone who likes golf.
This is a very playable course for most regular golfers.
We have been to Solvang many times but never played the Alisal courses because the cost is typically pretty high. But, through Golf Now, we secured a very reasonable rate, so we booked a time mid-morning. The staff was very nice and told us to go out whenever we were ready. We followed two five-somes, which was the only negative aspect, but the players were very nice and told us to play on through if we wanted. We would play this course again when we return to Solvang and would recommend it to others.
Great shape.
I got there at 7:15 on a Saturday morning for a 7:40 tee time. Hardly anyone there. I was a single and ended up playing with 3 locals. Had a great time. Walked in less than 4 1/2 hours and never waited.
First Time at the River Course
Excellent facility. Did not try the food but it did smell and look good. Staff were friendly! Class act compared to most courses. Loved the grass and the greens. Well maintained facility.
this review tells me nothing about the course... not very helpful.
