This course perfectly captures the terrain of Santa Barbara County as the fairways follow the canyons up one side and down the other. Its somewhat remote location (remote for Southern California, that is) insures a very casual day on the course...not the sort of place you'd find hordes of impatient golfers lining up to race through, breathing down your neck. For me, an important part of the experience is being able to absorb the natural beauty of a course as I play, and La Purisima is near the top of my list.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
