Played 10 holes but paid for 18.

This course plays very slow especially when every older person thinks they are on the PGA tour and takes 5 swings and then hits the ball 150 yards.

Good golf course.

We got this on a "Hot deal" Got to the course early hoping to get breakfast. Due to Covid the restaurant is closed.

Pro shop staff were very friendly.

The course layout is very good.

Fairways were a little worn, but you could always find grass.

The greens were PERFECT!! Rolling true and smooth.

I will definitely play there again.

Great design

Alisal River course is a very fun course to play.

It has a few challenging holes but most are very gettable.

The main problem with this course is you must plan on about a five hour round.

Due to overbooking and slow play.

Challenging course with stunning views

The course is in great shape during winter. Fairways and greens are perfect. It is a challenging course that still makes you feel good to play it. The greens are fast and fun to play. Some of the best bunkers around that are large and deep with sand.

Excellent app Teeoff

Great weather, the course with in excellent condition especially this time of year. During the fall when the leaves start falloff the trees , when at times your unable to find your ball, that wasn’t the case, the staff was very friendly, The snack bar attendant was very friendly! To top it off you couldn’t beat the PRICE. Using the TeeOff app!
