this course has to be evaluated after playing it a couple of timess. My first time here I didn't think much of it. I am a 3 handicapper and find this course a true challenge from the back tees. The course has two personalities - the front nine is carved back into the hills back behing the clubhouse and the back nine is on the front ocean side weaving across an afterbay off the ocean. The weather is always mild and the course is maintained better than most. They have a wonderful bar and restaurant. The only real down side is the driving range which is not up to par with the resto fo the course. They offer coupons in REDDOT so you can play 2 for 1 anytime. This is one my favorite central coast golf stops
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
