Central Coast Gem

This course has its challenges! From tight fairways to reachable water and sand hazards. If you're a straight shooter, this is the course for you. I have Golf just about every course on the central coast of California and consider this by far the best course I've ever played and will continue to come back because of this gem of a course I challenge any golfer to come check this place out because I will guarantee a day of satisfaction when it comes to Golf.

River Course

It’s a better course when the greens are not perforated.

Temporary condition which means all of my ratings go up a notch when the greens are in better shape
