The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A big-view coastal muni with dramatic elevation drops and five signature bridges across canyons. Reviewers respect the strategic design and Pacific views, but the routing and severely tiered greens divide opinion, and the layout forces carts.
Consistently praised
- Ocean views on roughly half the holes with no housing in sight.
- Dramatic tee shots that drop into landing zones across canyons and arroyos.
Worth knowing
- Greens are heavily tiered and shelved; three-putts come fast if you miss the section.
Golfers recommend
- Take the cart seriously; the routing between holes is long and not walkable.
- Aim for the correct tier, not the flag; short of the shelf is usually safer than above it.
