Played the Blues (6299/70.5/123) in 4H on a partly cloudy, breezy afternoon with temps around 100. Matched up with Everett, Nathan and Kane, excellent group to play with. $24 to walk on the SLO Co card. Did something I have never had to do before. Walked the front and had to take a cart ($12) on the back. Temp was too much on a hilly course for me to walk 18. Quirky, very hilly and challenging layout to walk. Rarely a level lie on this course after you leave the tee box. Numerous holes where shaping shots would be beneficial around mature oaks. Tees good coverage and were well maintained for divots. Fairways good coverage for kikuyu. Mostly lush with some thin spots. Rough mostly mowed down to 2-3". Mixture of weeds and multiple different grasses, very playable. Hardpan if you get too wide of the fairway. Sand traps decently maintained but thinner than they should be. Greens putted medium speed and were smooth. Very undulating with few ball marks, they held irons well. Customer service was excellent, quick efficient check-in. Friendly Marshall out patrolling. No on course services. Once you leave the tee, they only have old school 100/150/200 yard markers. Very basic gas powered golf carts, definitely no GPS. All grass range is okay. Not a destination course, plenty of local flavor and it's convenient right off the 101 freeway. Overall, the playing conditions exceeded expectations, better than I have experienced here previously. Recommended.
