Played this course for the first time ever on Thursday. Despite my all-but-non-existent short game that day, this place has instantly become one of my favorite courses ever. An often challenging but fair layout, beautiful scenery, great staff, good pace of play, serious greens. Local knowledge is definitely worth a stroke or 2 per side as this is not the usual grip it and rip it public course. The greens are quite sloped and are a good ways back from being punched 10 days ago or so, but I never figured them out this first time around. The greens were soft, and I went from full-on plugging a ball on my tee shot into hole 2, to leaving putts 6 feet short, to having it run way past the hole. It may have been my highest 3-putt total on any round in recent memory, but that's mostly familiarity. I'll get it next time, and the deer didn't seem to laugh at me too much as they looked on. All in all, it was a great day at a great course. If it wasn't 130+ mile round trip from me, I'd play here at least once a month.

Played Morro Bay last Saturday am, and it was everything I had expected. $75 to ride, and conditions were excellent. The course layout is pretty straightforward without too much penalty if you are offline as the grass is continuous over the whole hillside. I’m not a big fan of kikuyu, but fairways were excellent, and the rough was cut short enough that you could get out of it p... » More

The course layout is pretty straightforward without too much penalty if you are offline as the grass is continuous over the whole hillside. I’m not a big fan of kikuyu, but fairways were excellent, and the rough was cut short enough that you could get out of it predictably.

270 degree views of the bay and the rock are a treat. However, the lush conditions made for a great breeding ground for mosquitoes! Bring your own repellent cuz the pro shop was sold out!

First new club house built looks great new driving range redone. Made start time for a fivesome no problem then drove the treacous drive to course.
Review as follows other than sand traps course is a disaster. Wet muddy grass not cut even in fairways off fairways super long grass and muddy weeds everywhere. Tee boxes uneven muddy and weeds on tee block areas. Greens had been aerated but no one told us when reservation made. Then with 4 holes to play 2 guys pull out in front of us to play.
I asked don't you think you should of asked us to play thru. He comments who said you could play a 5som. I responded pro shop made time for a fivesome when we called in and asked if 5 some allowed. We were told yes. Not only that there were but 8 cars in the parking lot when we arrived and only on 14th hole did these 2 clowns showed up.
We have been playing this course for over 25 years and make a treturaces drive up the super curve mountain road to play. First time there in over 3 years do to comic.
My question do you go to courses to check them out or just a phone call about conditions.
We have normally 12 players so usually get 3 start times this time only 5 could play rest were working but we have no plans to return again were done with that course.drive is very tuff but since no one informed us how bad course conditions were was biggest issue
The weeds even in middle of fairways a joke. As far as areated greens should of told us when making start time now i know why so few cars there when we arrives for 10 10 start time.
Finally we used to play the course 5 to 6 times a season but no more..
