I played Pacific Grove back in 2007, and I'm hapoy that it's recognized for its beauty. Morro Bay, and Rustic Canyon are now on my list of courses to play. Thank you
Darkhorse GC in Auburn, CA. Amazing course for $50-70
I used to work at rustic canyon. I grew up in San Jose California and played cinnabar many times it’s a great 27 hole track. Soul park is a great mountain creek course I’ve played there a handful of times. Never played morro bay. Paicific grove poor mans pebble.
Goose creek
When Rustic first opened we'd play for free after 6 'cause the pro shop would close. Then we'd play for $10 after 3 … walking. This was before anyone knew it existed. It was awesome back then.
My favorite public course in California is Hunter Ranch in Paso Robles. You can get under $100 with twilight rates and it is well worth every penny.
Goose Creek is a must!
Soule park was redone by Gil Hanse in 2005. Which I was an asset pro from 2010-2013. The same owner owned Soule Park and Rustic Canyon at the same time.. So it has lost its original charm from the original builder.. Still a really tough course from the tips and well worth the money.though.. Hope that info helps ya guys out a bit .
I live near none of those RIP LOL
Grew up in Monterey Bay so played Pacific Grove numerous times…the setting is better than Pebble which I’ve played about 5 times as it hugs Asilomar and the stunning coast. I started playing there when it was about $10 for twilite so the $64 seems rich for me!…it’s not a horrible value now but the course is really too short to pay too much.
I’ve lived in LA for 35yrs and have played Rustic dozens of times. It is the best relative value in LA if Rancho Park wasn’t a 6hr round all the time. My only gripe with Rustic is that there are too many environmental hazard areas which makes it more target golf off the tee than is optimal.
IMO the best <$100 courses in CA has to include the Bayonet /Black Horse courses in Fort Ord…these courses have nice ocean views, have no flat lies, nice Monterey rough, trees all around the course and are HARD courses with the slopes to prove it. I’d play these courses over the Pebble Beach courses all day long given the price difference…
Any "best of California" needs to split the state North/South. It's a 6+ hours drive from Sacramento to any of the course in SoCal, and vice-versa. 6+ hours will get you through 3+ states east of the Mississippi.
When it comes to Golf I Grew up in Nipomo, Ca Monarch Dunes should be on the list along with The Links at Bodega Dunes in Bodega California it's a true Poor Man's Pebble Beach. Also Northwood Golf Club is 20 miles east of Bodega, along the Russian River. Created by the same course creator as Augusta National, 18 holes for $20 and $10 a cart
The Widk !
Blue Rock in Vallejo?
Shouldve done a SoCal episode and NorCal episode lol.
I live north of Santa Barbara and have played Soule, Morro Bay and Rustic and none of those come close to La Purisima near Lompoc.
Goose creek in Palo Alto ca
Bailey Creek in Lake Almanor CA has my vote.
Cinnabar Hills!
San Clemente muni is an absolute steal and great layout. Tons of ocean view holes.
Oak Quarry is the favorite of many in So Cal. You will thank me later it’s off the hook
Yocha Dehe in Brooks
Los Verdes in Rancho Palos Verdes is a gem, slow rounds but for the price its pretty incredible. Also Costa Mesa CC for 33-40$ is a great play.
you guys have to look up Apple Mountain golf course in Placer county, course is a insane golf course in the mountains, think the green fees are around $80
Micke grove Stockton
All socal pretty much besides San jose
You guys missed the best best course in Southern California, Goose Creek. This is the best kept public course, with a fun layout and unbelievable practice facilities. Very unique with its farm feel and one of the best finishing holes. I’ve played all the courses on your list and Goose Creek beats them hands down.
Yes Soule park in Ojai. La Purisma in Lompoc.
Need to go play Indian wells in Indian wells CA! Shits pure
Goose Creek in Corona California is also very nice
So cool to see Morro Bay on the list. I live here and get to play 3 times a week. Absolutely stunning course for the money. I take my own cart, use the discount card, and it costs me $37 a round.
Love Soule Park. Used to live in the area and played there several times. But I was going to throw a fit if PG wasn’t on the list. Great video guys! I’ll be subscribing.
List great courses for under $50.00. Thanks!
Guys missed Oak Quarry…
Black gold should absolutly NOT be on anyone list and its not under 100, gotta go Oak Quarry over BG all day
Los Verdes Golf Course in Palos Verdes is the best course I’ve played so far. Sits on the cliffs and the 10th hole is the most scenic hole of the 18. $70 is the most for a round.
Eisenhower course in the city of Industry, great course for under 100 bucks
