Great Course but Holes 3 and 4 are terribly designed

Everything is pretty good except for hole 3 and 4. If you have played there you know what I'm talking about.

Beautiful course. Cool layout

Place was great. The services was awesome. The restaurant was great. The only issues I had were the price was a little high for how dried out
A lot of the holes were. Specifically the greens.

SB Golf Club

Public courses aren’t easy to find in Santa Barbara and for a municipal course in the dead of winter it was in very good condition. Tee boxes were fair, fairways were above average and large greens were excellent. It was an absolutely beautiful day and a must play winter course.
