This is a GEM of an executive style, all par-3 golf course. It will steal your heart as it has mine since I was but a wee lad, but I am more than happy to have left it in the hands of such a deserving destination. The beautiful layout/design requires just enough skill to score well and to hold the interest of experienced players but it certainly isn't overwhelming or intimidating for the novice or even 1st time golfer, with the exception of hole number seven, which requires a 100 + yard carry over a large pond. For such a highly trafficked and well loved course, the condition is good. The only area of concern is that the greens are a bit on the bumpy side of the "bump-o-meter" spectrum, but this is more a reflection on the golfers' casual or even innocently ignorant attitude towards fixing ball marks than it is a actual course maintenance problem. For that reason I cannot deduct a star for this review... all said, my 5 star review is meant to give confidence that you won't be disappointed in the cost/quality ratio, and btw, the green fees are very reasonable. I am 57 and didn't quite meet the senior rate requirements, but it still only cost me an $18 greens fee for the twilight rate. Do yourself and any of your golfer friends a favor by making plans to play here the 1st opportunity you get to visit the Central Coast area of California. Happy golfing trails! 😎

This is a nice par 3 course. Great weather most of the time. Friendly staff. The prices are reasonable. I just wish they didn't charge full price on the electric golf carts for a second trip around the course. I will be back in August.

Left my golf club at the course a few months ago and called to ask if they had it, they found it and said they could keep it for me until my next trip to the coast. Well I just called them to make sure they still had it and if I could come pick it up. The lady was extremely rude and not helpful. She laughed at me and said “you can come here and look for it but I don’t know what else to tell you” Hmm maybe ask me what brand and club it is for starters? It blows my mind that someone could be that rude for literally no reason. You can keep the club!!

Very nice golf course wedding venue. Yes, I wasn’t there to play golf but to attend the wedding. So, I can’t talk about golfing experience there, but the tent they let us use for the reception was great! Plenty of space for all the guests. We had a outdoor wedding, which I suspect is most of the cases, and it was just perfect. The beach is quite close, and the venue let the bride and groom to use the gold carts to travel to and from the beach for the mini photo session at the beach before the ceremony. It isn’t a huge problem but their restroom in the club house is small (one person at a time), so they had two (men and women) porta potties outside the tent, but for the amount of guests there were it took a while for people to use it. Other than that, it’s a pretty good venue for events like that. Parking isn’t the biggest one I’ve seen, but it wasn’t nearly full, and I saw quite a few people parked along the street by the tent for easy access.
