Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort

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!

Course was excellent condition, the three other guys I played with were fun!

Course condition was rough, lots of dead spots and beat up greens and tee boxes. Driving range was hard to find and in poor condition. Luckily I found a deal on GolfNow otherwise I would say the course is overpriced.

Being from this area I have played the course before and have always enjoyed the experience. I was disappointed to learn that the greens had just been punched and feel that this should have been posted on the website and also on the Golf Now app. At least offer a discount because putting is half the experience. The rough around the greens was to high and at times it was difficult to even find then chip your ball. The pace of play was ridiculous and I finally drove past three foursomes and had clear sailing for the last five holes. Other than the greens the course was in good condition and the setting is beautiful. The Santa Ynez Valley is a special place. Clubhouse and outside dining are very nice.

River Alisal just aerated their greens so it is hard to say what the course would feel like.

Why is this always a secret I would of like to have known this was done so I could have gone elsewhere. Other than the greens the course was great

Jeff made this annual family tournament a real treat . Helped with all that was needed to make this not only a great experience but an overall great time . Jeff went beyond what we expected but look forward to next year when we will hopefully have more family playing golf. Thanks buddy you are awesome

Great golf course. But I don't want the course to get crowded.

Enjoyable round. Course is in decent shape, can be tough to play due to thick rough and high wind gusts in the afternoon.

First time playing the course in a foursome and our round was adversely affected by whoever was running the tee sheet and scheduled twosome after twosome after twosome after our foursome ...

We let the first of four twosome play through at the turn, but the entire day felt pressured and rushed even though we finished 18 in 4:30...

Course conditions were pretty good, but there were many ball marks on the greens (thanks fellow players - NOT...)

Quite a few doglegs and lots of trees (and their dropped leaves) lining the fairways created a few situations resulting in lost balls... Quite a few unmowed areas off the fairways as well contributed to lost balls and we think that other players might have picked up our golf balls...

Popular place as there were players everywhere and the layout reminded us of a downscale muni like Westlake Golf Course....

All in all, it was a frustrating day and a two hour commute that resulted in a sub-optimal experience for a course I cannot recommend...

Really nice course regardless of price. For the price, this place is truly amazing. $60/person on a Friday morning is insane for how nice this course is. The greens are super well kept with few unfixed pitch marks and good even trim around the first and second cuts.

Only problem was finding balls in the rough. It was a pretty thick first cut plus with the early morning light, every fallen leaf looked like a ball. Hit your fairways and you are golden.

Overall, great course, great price, highly recommend.
