Almost Like Heaven

We had breakfast at the Grill, srvice and food was good. Headed out for some practice putting and then off to #1. We were joined by two local Dudes, who showed us the way around the course during play. Nicest guys ever, and very patient with our play. Made our visit fantastic. We will play there again. Solvang is a beautiful place to visit and play golf.

Hidden Gem

This course is awesome. You must play here when passing thru or staying. Put this on your list of courses. Beautiful scenery on every hole.

Precision off the tee box for about 4 holes. Don’t be afraid of the water

Play with someone that won’t try to describe to about every hole

I played here 2 days in a row. The second day was way better experience and play.

Nice afternoon

I played as a single and enjoyed a quick round, including a tasty hot dog at the turn. Conditions were perfect, unlike my round.
