The Sea Ranch Golf Links

Staff super friendly. Fairways need some work. Very bumpy and you have to drive the carts slow or else you destroy your back and clubs. Recommend some iron covers so you don't hear your irons banging around the whole round.

Had always wanted to play but had read scathing reviews about the fairways being dried out. Recent influx of rain has seem to help this course & the conditions. Course is fairly challenging & had solid conditions for the price. Fairways & conditions aren’t perfect like a resort/destination golf course but it is a very scenic, great wild life, & has great ocean views on the front nine. The clubhouse is very bare bones but the practice/warm up areas are satisfactory. A blue bird sunny day is a must for this course, as I could imagine foggy/overcast which the area is prone to, would be a dreary mundane round of golf. Definitely worth checking out in conjunction with the surrounding beaches & trails which are scenic & beautiful as well.

The starter needs to go. He as well as the Marshall allowed an eight some and a five some. Fairways are still dead.

Couldn’t use my $40 credit to book my 2 some. Golf now
Told me to book it anyway and they would credit my credit card the$40.
Haven’t gotten my money back yet.

Tees and greens were wonderful, fairways were very dry but understandable due to the drought. Cart paths were very bad, like driving off-road ATV’’s. Golf carts were very poor and smelly due to off gas fumes especially considering Sea Ranch being an ecologically sensitive community.

Fairways dry and narrow. Greens in good shape.
The clown behind us hit my wife with his shot as we were driving off the green on 7. What a jerk.

The course is in bad need of water. The fairways are bone dry. Only the tees and greens are watered.

The 70+ year old starter was an unmitigated rude crank. We were greeted with a complaint that we showed up too early to practice before our 8:20 a.m. round (7:40), then the real reason why he was such a jerk came out-we booked our tee time through Golf Now. He scolded us for not getting our tee time through their site. He asked me if I knew how much money they made through Golf Now? After I I said I didn’t know (and didn’t care), he formed a zero with his hand and said “that much.” FrankIy, I find that hard to believe, but I didn’t negotiate any deals for the course and I found it unusual the starter would discuss it with a guest. The starter dismissively tossed the cart key onto the counter and when I asked for two practice buckets, he said that $10 was the only money they were making off me that day. Nothing like a warm welcome to start the round.
Our much younger starter on 6/3 was very pleasant and accommodating.
The course is in good condition last week, especially given the drought in Nor Cal. The greens were smooth and in excellent shape.
We play Sea Ranch each summer and will continue to do so when we return. The starter was just an unpleasant jerk.

Fairways need work. Smoothing out the bumpy surface and growing better&thicker grass might be helpful. Greens we're marginal and course needs upgrading.

No way would I pay $72 to play this course, wouldn’t pay $72 for a membership!!! A $25 course at best TERRIBLE

I played this course today and really enjoyed it. The staff was helpful and quite friendly. The course design is excellent. You need to think strategically and not just grip it and rip it. The ocean is close to many holes (but the course is not right on the water). It is scenic with a very relaxed vibe that fits perfectly with the Sonoma coast. Although the fairways were just okay in some areas, the greens were excellent. I had a great golf day and recommend it.

This is a phenomenal course in my opinion. Not very long but provide lots of varying challenges from course shape, slopes, wind, and placement of ball for second shot. Greens and bunkers were in great shape considering the rains we've had the past couple of day earlier in the week.
Location of course and the roads leading to it a bit of a drive but well worth it.

We play Sea Ranch Golf Links a few times a year...check ahead for wind conditions, mornings usually better. It's the poor man's Pebble Beach!!!!!.Keep it on the fairway or you're toast....gas powered carts and rough cart path and fairways feel like off-roading!!! but we look forward to it...go for it!!!!

seems like the course is having problems recovering from punching the greens in the fall and with the fairways cut too short there's no grass growing
