This is the best course between Santa Barbara and Salinas. If you're a golfer who has never quite understood how course design can test your game, head to La Pu. Play early to learn the subtleties of this great design; play late if you think your game is ready for anything. The wind comes up in the afternoon.
The greens are a treat--they were rolling about 11 1/2 when I was last there and it's entirely possible to putt a ball off the green. This is not a course for beginners but there is no better place for someone to test their game and study great course design.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Price, No Houses on Course
