Reviews
Very nice course close to Solvang
This is a very nice course that is challenging due to trees. Greens are large. Course would have been a 5 condition wise but maintenance on tees made it a bit unpleasant due to manure recently applied.
Nice course
Played a twosome friday afternoon and breezed through. Greens a bit slow and bumpy here and there. Its a good test from the blue tees. For what it cost it was a great value
Very nice course!
I’ll play again next time I’m here! Well kept, longer than my exec course in Palm Desert but just as nice!
Great course! We loved the layout and greens!
We had a wonderful day, taking our time and enjoying the layout and the greens. Staff was very accommodating. After hours dinner was awsome!
Great choice if around Solvang
Course was in great condition. All bunkers had recently been redone and had brand new sand. Course locals were very friendly and helpful. I did not walk, but it is very walkable.
Alisal river course
What a fantastic course!! The course layout is one of really nice. The course is well maintained, I have noticed maintenance staff looking after the course without affecting play. The staff were friendly and and welcoming. The pace of play was fast with a tournament going on. I will definitely play this course again!!
Nicely kept course; fluffy bunkers!
Ok, so yes, I know the bunkers/sand traps are fluffy because I was in them. However, these are the nicest ones in the this SoCal area. The course, including fairways and greens is very well kept, which made the course fun to play. Pro shop staff friendly and helpful. Lovely setting. It’ can be hot in Santa Ynez so plan ahead!
Aerated Greens
They had punched the greens a day earlier. Would have been nice to know somehow on the GolfNow app that that was the case.
Nice Course
Nice venue, very picturesque! I’ll play again when I’m in the area.
