Excellent course, sandpiper at Santa Barbara. Sea side links course, it’s SoCal golf! Like a Pebble beach! Here is far from my area. this is only negative point. Other all is perfect! Course level is not difficult, wide and slightly flat, however wind is strong as well. Just excuse, I was busy to take photos of such beautiful view, so couldn’t concentrate golf play ; ;
So my score is bad today, but I want to play here again. 52 48 100..

It’s my last golf at California.
I have played here around 3 years ago, super nice ocean view course at Santa Barbara. Fairway, green, all facilities are nicely maintained. Each hole looks wide but the rough area keeps long grass and challenging. We must keep the ball on the fairway. Sea breeze was very strong today, it’s super difficult to control the distance. Anyway, it was worth, suitable course for my last play, and it was unforgettable golf at the terrific course seeing such fabulous ocean view.
43 44 87, I couldn’t update my best score but I’m absolutely satisfied.
