What a treat and a major test at the same time! If you think you are on your game just come on out and give La P a run. Played last week, 10/1/07, and as usual it was in great condition! The greens are rolling just great and the fairways look wonderful. The wood wall project on #3 is finished and is a vast visual improvement. Stacy and Marcus took great care of the group I brought. Worth every penny!

We played this course on Wednesday, 10-10 on our first annual golf and wine trip to central California. We also played Monarch Dunes, Hunter Ranch, and Cypress Ridge (see those reviews). We all agreed that we liked La Purisima the best of all the courses we played. Challenging layout, beautifully conditioned with hardly any ballmarks--it was like nobody played the course. No houses on the course, beautiful scenery, and very little road noise made this the perfect course to end the trip.

Second time at La Purisima and got some wind to make a difficult course more difficult. It helps to have some knowledge of the course though. Yes, it's in fine condition and the green fees are more than fair. Worth the drive if you and some buddies want to make a day of it. Not every hole is as unforgiving as some postings mention, but it's true that you need to be straight on most shots or trouble awaits.

Anytime you want to be humbled, try a round here. Really feeling masochistic? Play in the afternoon wind. Don't get me wrong, course conditions are near perfect, but this course is by far one of the... Continue »

Anytime you want to be humbled, try a round here. Really feeling masochistic? Play in the afternoon wind. Don't get me wrong, course conditions are near perfect, but this course is by far one of the toughest I have ever seen. Every single shot will test you. There are almost no bailout opportunities, either hit it straight or take it home.

Played 6/30,7/1...great as usual greens in tremendous shape customer service exceptional, keep it up...

Played 6/23 at 10:30 am. This track was one of the best I have ever played and I have been playing golf for 16 years. The conditions were great. The course was hard but fair-good shots rewarded bad shots punished. The wind plays a huge role in the challenge of the golf course- wind on #17 played dead into my face and for a 147 yd hole downhill hit a club that goes 160 and came up 30 yrds short because the ball got caught in the wind. A bit of course knowledge goes a long way; if you are coming up for the first time see if they will pair you up with someone who is a regular it will save you strokes. Overall worth the trip and I will definately be back sooner than later.

Played for first time on Sat 6/23(twilight). Course was one of the toughest that I have played in California. Played from the tips and the 75.6 rating from the blacks is well deserved. We had about a 15-20 mph wind which played into our faces on #6 and #7 and swirled on most holes for most of the day. Three out of the four par 5's you must play smart with an iron for your second shot even if you bomb the ball off of the tee. I made birdie on #10(1 handicap) which started my back off well. I'll take my 76 and run for the hills on this course after reading all of the hype. #1 and #2 are tricky holes to start off on as #1 narrows at the green and #2 if you have not played course you do not know how much room you have to drive down to. If you are walking this course and have not played it before I would think that you should purchase a yardage/map book to know where you are going( a good workout if you are walking). #17(par 3) is one of the smallest targets/green I have ever seen. And #14 (short par 4) is a very narrow landing area even with an iron off of the tee.

As far as the course conditions were concerned, the greens felt spongy on the soft spikes and held irons pretty well and putted quick and true(very nice greens). Fairways were great on some holes and just above average on others. Alot of tee boxes need to be leveled and overall it looks like the course needed some more water on it. I felt that the $40.00 twilight price was a good bargain. Beautiful area to play golf. Will be back to play again.
