Great course, needs some work on greens

This is a terrific but difficult par 70 course and the greens make it even more so. Some of the fairways are quite tight and the par fours are very challenging. Those the greens are large the pin placements make them very difficult. Bring your short game!

Dr McKenzie was a genius!

What an amazing track. Challenging, fair, thought provoking and beautiful from the first tee to the 18th green. Mind blowing greens for which I highly recommend a caddie for a special experience. Price is a little tough but for that occasional treat it is worth it.

Dr McKenzie was genius

This course is amazing. Layout exciting and interesting from 1st tee to 18th green. Greens are mind bending. Highly recommend a caddie, and if you can get Josh, you’re in great hands.

Walking was a very enjoyable, also highly recommended.

Price is a little tough but for a special day out it’s a great one. Hope to get back when the hospitality is open!

Pasatiempo Times

A true historical golf course, I consider myself very lucky to play the course the last 2 weeks. The staff was very courteous and professional during the greetings and checking in the guests. A great golf experience, thank you and stay safe.

The course and staff were top notch

I slept through my alarm and by the time I woke up my tee time was already past. I called them clubhouse to ask if there was any way of still playing and they were happy to accommodate my mistake. The staff was just fantastic and the course was awesome. I wish I could afford to play it again because I had so much fun. The home locations were challenging and the greens offered some good challenges.

I just really appreciate the staff making the effort to get me a time to play after my mistake. This was a bucket list course and it did not disappoint. Thank you again for a great day!

Great course - dont WALK

Waljed first 9 holes. Quite a hike. Better to take a power cart as insteadnif enjoying the course you are basically hiking steep hills.

ALL AROUND AMAZING

Play this course...period. A rare opportunity to play a McKenzie designed course. If your in Santa Cruz, or nearby, you have to get in 18 here. The front is loaded with challenging holes but the back is the real treat. You’ll know what I mean when you see 10 tee after crossing the street. An amazing round of golf all around. Conditions were great. Folks were friendly. Only beef was the inability to grab refreshments at the turn. Staff was occupied with other patrons and we could get served fast enough to keep pace. Otherwise a perfect day.
