Fun Round at Hunter Ranch

I booked a Hot Deal for Hunter and played with 3 others who also booked the Hot Deal. The staff was great and helpful as it had been many years since I had played Hunter. The course was in great condition. The bunkers had plenty of sand....I tried out about 3 of them! The back nine has several challenges to carry over water or ravines. Greens were rolling pretty fast.

Awesome Gem on the Central Coast

Hunter Ranch was awesome. What a gem. Staff was friendly, the course was in great condition, the grill was awesome, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was almost 100 degrees which ended up being a little hot, but our tee time started at 11:50am so I'll definitley play earlier if I can next time. I will definitely be back.

Amazing Greens

All in all a great test of golf with some of the best greens we have played on for some time. Perhaps the severe dog legs on the par 5s were the only blemish. A perfect place to break up our journey through California.

Beautiful course!

Great course, but the back half is too tough for me with a 35 handicap. My husband loved it

Family trip and day for golf at Hunter Ranch

Hunter Ranch is a challenging course from any of the tee levels. The course sits on a bluff above surrounding vineyards and while providing a steady flow of charming vistas, it nevertheless keeps your playing attention with some very challengingly designed holes. No sense of hole repetition at Hunter Ranch, nor is there any feel that holes are piled side by side. Due to the unique design and clever use of trees and slopes, each hole played gives one the feel of being in its own hole wilderness and singularity.. The condition of the course on the day played on the 15th of September, 2022 was excellent, which is special considering the drought conditions being experience by most of California. Speed of play was also good, as well as helpful assistance from the Hunter Ranch staff.. If there was a disappointment at Hunter Ranch it had nothing to do with the golf course itself. Following the round at Hunter Ranch, my family looked forward to the usually unbelievable offerings at the restaurant on the grounds. Much to our surprise the restaurant had been taken over by new ownership and we found the food unsatisfactory. We missed the obvious sign upon entering of seeing few to no patrons. Under the previous ownership and management the restaurant was always bustling, with a mixture of golfers and business patrons from the local environ. While food was a sad note, the course played as has always been promised, and anticipated: competitive and well kept. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Very warm summer day

Had an absolutely wonderful day. Camp less than 4 miles from course at cava Robles…very convenient! Greens were impeccable. Given the 90+ temperatures the fairways were good. Gentleman in the pro shop was very nice, laid back and helpful. Would have enjoyed a beverage cart. Look forward to playing in the fall when it’s cooler.

Definitely Recommend

Flew into Paso Robles airport and grabbed an Uber to the course 10 minutes away. Staff were very friendly, gave us a few local tips and pointed us to the driving range. Range was very basic, but plenty of room. Course was quiet and we played as a twosome, were never held up or pushed from behind. Fairways and greens were in good condition, unlike the tee boxes that showed signs of wear with barespots and uneveness. I owuld rather have the tee boxes bare than the fairways, so not a big issue. Take notice of the local signs that warn of water that is reachable from the tee box, if oyur not familiar with the layout. We learned the hardway! Will definitlely be heading back to this coursein the near future.

Carts

The carts come equipped with a range finder, good improvement. Also there is an auto shut off if the cart gets to close to the green. Only 2 holes had markers showing you where to stay out of. The rest of them you had to guess. On hole 13 it shut the cart down about 90 yards from the green. We did alot of backing up to get out of the 'dead' range. All holes need to be to have some indication to show where they cannot go. Also the check in desk should tell you about the auto shut off. Other than that a wonderful day on the course.
