Played Super Bowl Sunday mid day. Course surprisingly not crowded considering it was clear, calm and in the low 80's.

Lush but not as lush as a month ago. Playing firm and fast from tee to green. Greens smooth and firm. Tee boxes and fairways near immaculate. Sand is immaculate. Rough a mixture of grasses, not tall but the lies will vary greatly within a small area.

Excellent practice facility and customer service. Highly recommended.

Have been getting around in less than 3.5H in most recent rounds. Course less busy than expected because the temps went down from low 80's to low 50's within a week.

Course very lush. Greens smooth, quick and firm with very few ball marks.

Rough very hit and miss with good coverage. Lush to clumpy in a small area. Tee boxes, fairways and sand all about as immaculately maintained as you will see anywhere.

Pro shop and Bag attendants are always helpful and top notch here. Nice practice area and restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

4H, 45M POP as a 4some. A friend of a friend played with us. Not a bad golfer, really nice guy. But 3+ practice swings on every shot coupled with him having challenges reading/putting these greens really added to the time on the round. We let 3 groups (2 were singles) play through. Teed off @ 12:20 and did not think we were going to finish. Easily 1H more than I would normally expect playing twilight during the week when the course was not very crowded.

Layout still very lush. Greens firm, smooth and medium fast. Traps, fairways and tee boxes almost immaculate. Rough mostly lush with some patchy areas.

Customer service excellent. Outstanding range that now comes equipped with accurate yardage tracking on shots of you want to set it up and utilize it. Highly recommended.

Played numerous times since my last review here. Let's make this brief.

Lush. Pristine. Fazio layout. Conditions could hardly be improved on.

Carts with nice GPS, and they are needed. Very few attempt to walk here with the distance between many holes. Excellent practice facility, nice golf course restaurant. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Played twice this week. With daytime temps consistently in the low 70 to low 80 range and night time temps in the low 50 range, the course has flourished. Possibly the nicest conditions I have experienced in the 3 years I have been playing this course. Very comparable to the times I have played Pebble Beach as a basis of comparison. It not only looks lush everywhere, it plays that way.

Sand traps fluffy white beach sand that is immaculately maintained.

Rough combination of dormant Bermuda, still green Bermuda and over seeded grasses. Weak link compared to the other parts of the course but excellent coverage everywhere and very playable.

Fairways a little higher than normal, which lessens the almost insane amount of roll when they are mowed low and playing quick/firm. Tee boxes very lush with most divots filled in.

Greens their normal firm and quick. The 2 Ventana courses have the best Bermuda greens I have ever putted on by a large margin. And they do not overseed the greens. There is evidently about a 125 mile wide band from south of Phoenix to roughly the US/Mexico border that agronomists determined that Bermuda greens should not be over seeded and they do better than over seeded greens do in that climate. It is such a joy (on the rare times I manage to do it) to just tap a downhill putt with break and watch it trickle smoothly into the hole.

Customer service always top notch. Highly recommended.

Course very lush. Greens smooth, quick and firm with very few ball marks. Downhill putts make me go STOP!!! about 4-5 times a round.

Rough very hit and miss with good coverage. Lush to clumpy in a small area. You can have a lie sitting up like on a tee and a few ft. away have a lie you can barely see the top of the ball.

Tee boxes, fairways and sand all about as immaculately maintained as you will see anywhere.

CPO until this coming weekend still slows play. But have been getting around in less than 4H in most recent rounds.

Pro shop and Bag attendants are always helpful and top notch here. Nice practice area and restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

CPO until this coming weekend still slows play. But still been getting around in less than 4H. Day time temps in the 60's and in the 40's @ night with the grass still longer than normal after over seeding makes for a long track. 4/5 irons into holes I normally expect to hit 7/8 irons into changes ones perspective rather quickly.

Course very lush. Greens smooth, firm, quick with very few ball marks. Rough can go from lush to clumpy in a small area, so the lies vary radically. Tee boxes and fairways almost immaculate. Sand is immaculate.

Nice practice area and restaurant on site. Pro shop and Bag attendants are always helpful and top notch. Highly recommended.

With things becoming much more crowded, I can already see the POP changing from low season to high season levels. Still got around in 3H, 45M on Veterans Day as a 2some. CPO for another week+, which slows things down considerably when many of the players are Seniors.

Lush and well maintained throughout. Greens smooth, firm and quick.

Two things about a course coming out of overseeding that was closed several weeks for maintenance. 1-Fairways still cut higher than normal, which cuts down about 20-30 yards of normal roll on many drives and makes the course play long. 2-Recently added sand to the traps has not had time to settle yet. And it is almost too fluffy/deep in many spots.

Those are really nit picking and about the worst things I could say about course conditions. Highly recommended.

First time out on Mountain since before over seeding. Still CPO for another week+. Mountain course very lush after over seeding which looks to have taken extremely well this season. Very busy with many snow birds arriving for the high season. 4.5H POP. Right now, before there is alot of play and carts are let loose on the fairways? Every area of the course is in the 9+/10 range. Almost unbelievable how far a ball will creep... and creep on very fast greens. And these greens are currently about as fast and smooth as I have ever played anywhere coming out of being closed for several weeks. Highly recommended.

First time out on Canyon in months. Back 9 was closed during the summer for sprinkler renovation and the entire 18 just reopened from over seeding. Still CPO for another week+. Mountain 18 will be closed for another 2 weeks for over seeding, then CPO until probably Thanksgiving.

Canyon course very lush after over seeding which looks to have taken extremely well this season. With an unusually long hot period still present, POP was not an issue. Never was within a hole of another golfer playing super twilight.

Wish I could still fly the ball the same distance at sea level when it is 70 degrees that it will fly @ 2200' elevation with temps around 100. Yesterday was over a club difference in calm conditions. Several times I just had to shake my head as a 9I flew over the green. Wow, so that was what a well struck 9I of mine used to look like 15-20 years ago...lol.

Right now, before there is alot of play and carts are let loose on the fairways? Every area of the course is in the 9/10 range. Highly recommended, especially with fees still firmly in the shoulder season range until 11/1, when they will crank them up into high season range.

Rode the Blues (6601/73.3/140) with Ron, Mark and John. Very fun and relaxed group to play with! Weather was nice, calm, clear and warm.

Traditional, old school William F. Bell layout. Interesting holes with variety that feature lots of elevation changes. Enough tightness and hazards to constantly keep you on your toes w/o being overly penal. Plenty of well positioned bunkers and tree lined fairways with excellent greens.

Tees were lush and well maintained.

Bermuda fairways were lush and nice to play from.

Rough was often thick and penal.

Sand traps were excellent. Thick good quality sand and immaculately maintained.

Smooth, quick large greens that rolled really well. False fronts could be treacherous on numerous holes.

Excellent customer service from everyone encountered. Nice range and excellent short game practice area. Nice GPS on carts. No drink cart but adequate water stations on the course. Highly recommended if you have the opportunity to play.

Walked the Blues on dew sweeper patrol with 2 other singles in 3.5H. $26 to walk early. Challenging course to walk, constantly up/down hills.

With more rainfall and being able to concentrate their H2O on 9 holes instead of 18, course much greener and more uniform in coverage than it was a few years ago. Fun layout with three par 3/4/5's that you play twice for 18 holes.

Greens nice, rolled well and would hold irons at medium fast speeds. Sand traps well maintained with good quality sand. Fairways, rough and tees all very playable with good coverage. Just not as good as the greens and sand traps.

Customer service limited but very friendly. Restaurant currently under renovation. They have a "Top Golf like" driving range with rooms set up with couches, multiple screens and simulators. Also available is what used to be the front 9 here that they rent out for $15 as practice on the course holes run by Cal Poly-SLO.

Easy access off Hwy 1, worth a play if in the SLO area.
