Exhibit A for Santa Barbara needing more affordable public courses. These views are for the people. Love muni.

This is actually a very challenging and fun course to play. The conditions are always good and the grill has excellent food at reasonable prices

Great for a muni course and easy to get to about 8-10 minutes from the beach in town. Loved the layout. Greens were on the slower side. Small practice range on site. Super friendly staff. I saw another guy grab rental clubs that were brand new Taylormade with a Scotty Cameron putter - if you don’t bring your own you won’t get stuck. The clubhouse and cafe was great - country club quality food. I played a late afternoon round at 5:15pm (last group - early august) - play was painfully slow. We didn’t even get 9 holes in before sundown at 8:15. We walked to be able to play a little longer ( it’s hilly) a cart wouldn’t have helped go faster. Remember, it’s the closest public course to a vacation destination, so we were not disappointed and expected slow play and enjoyed the environment. I would give it 4.3 stars if that was an option. Morning round might be quicker.

One of the nicest muni courses I’ve played in the USA. Add a visit to the beautiful Santa Barbara, California area to your bucket list

Except for the overturned tanker truck on the 101, we had a Great time playing this course, again. For us it was worth the drive up from Orange County. The staff is Great, thanks for the enjoyable day.
