Marshallia Ranch is the best kept secret in California. Hard to find, but worth the drive. Scenic, great layout, no two holes the same, challenging, but fun for any level of player. You will use every club in your bag. Great practice facilities. Deer come out and eat grass at the end of the driving range daily. My favorite course ever, but I live too far away to play it as often as I would like. Located at the end of San Antonio Road between Santa Maria and Lompoc on the AFB. A must play. Call ahead for reservations.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
