A great value

Course is the right yardage for me to make it fair and still a challenge. Great for seniors who want to play an 18 hole course without monstrous long holes. I'll play it every year I come to the desert. Course conditions are very good compared to other resort courses.

Hidden Gem

Excellent value as Hot Deal. Discriminating between residents and non residents as far as fees charged is bad policy. The policy is implying that charging a resident a lower fee must be profitable, but why not gouge the visitor. On the day I played it looked like many other golfers were locals, and no visitors stood out. If I had to pay a higher fee for being an out of towner, I wouldn't have played here. It just rubs me the wrong way. Charge everyone the same and I'll be back.

A fooler

Course difficulty started out mild but the back 9 has some real challenging holes especially 16, 17, and 18. Didn't think a muni would be so challenging. Course in very good condition. Greens rolled well. Enjoyed it very much. Will be back.

Very good overall

Good staff, good layout, conveniently located in Solvang. Fair course conditions, parts of rough very penal. Course conditions have declined a little over the years, but seems normal industry-wide.
Regular rates seem high for this course. Used Hot Deal and rewards, so it was great this time. I'd come back for sure using Golf Now.

Not easy

although the course is pretty flat, it is long with many par 4's longer than 400 yds. Conditions are great but it is challenging to say the least.

Groundskeepers

they bothered us two holes as they were conversing and laughing at length. They saw us but made no attempt to hold it down. This was near the green and next tee box. Two holes prior there was a worker sitting under a tree having a lengthy phone call and the laughing etc. It kept going on. It's too bad.

Good features

Some tough holes like no. 9. Course has interesting holes. Conditions are good, although some strange grass is starting to creep into the greens. Otherwise greens are very good.

Would'nt honor reservation.

They did not honor Golf Now's reservation for the $22 rate per person. They instead charged us $34 and said it was Golf Now's problem for not changing the rate in their system. I was embarrassed, as I was the one who bragged about golf Now's reservation system to my other three friends. So, is Golf Now wrong? I would put the blame on the course because they only charge $23 per person for those staying at the RV park where we are. But we didn't have the coupon since we made our reservation through Golf Now. Very embarrassing.
