Course History:
This is a course that has won many accolades throughout the year. Most recently they were named one of Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses in America and Ping has designated them as the West Coast Regional Outfitter of the Year. This may be a little course, but it is a lot of fun to play and has a reputation as being one of the best courses in the area.
What You Need to Know:
This is a course that the whole family can enjoy. In addition to the nine hole course there is also a miniature golf area that is actually quite fun. You can reserve your tee time by calling the number above and they frequently post specials on their website.
As you can guess from their distinction as a Ping Outfitter, this course has a terrific pro shop that is stocked to the gills with all the latest golf equipment and merchandise. If you need a new set of clubs, this is the place to go. The Performance Center on the course offers some of the best practice facilities on the West Coast and is worth the trip on its own.
Playing Hints:
Just because this is a nine hole course doesn't mean that it's easy or a walk in the park. You'll really have to work to get a par score here. The fairways are kept in excellent shape, but they are pretty narrow and surrounded by some really nasty rough. You'll really want to work on having an accurate tee shot, no matter what hole you're playing.
The bunkers here are absolutely incredible and most sit right in front of the green. The best one is an enormous creation that will test your skills on the 6th, 7th and 8th holes - it's that big! You'll need to work on your approach shot to make sure you don't end up in it. Once you do, it's practically impossible to get back out.
On the second hole, watch out for the lake hazard. It's got a strong pull and sits right next to the fairway. You're going to want to aim a little to the left from the tee to avoid this one.
