Santa Maria Country Club

Santa Maria sits in the broad inland valley between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, at an elevation that spares it the coastal fog marine layer while keeping temperatures mild enough for year-round play. The surrounding landscape is defined by vineyards, strawberry fields, and the rolling chaparral hills that frame the valley — a working agricultural corridor rather than a resort destination, which tends to attract golfers who come for the golf itself.

As a private country club at par 72, the course is designed to test a full range of shots across 18 holes, offering members a layout substantial enough for serious competition while remaining the kind of place that rewards regular, familiar play.
