Dairy Creek Golf Course

San Luis Obispo sits in one of California's most enviable corridors — midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, where the coastal ranges ease toward the Pacific and the light has a particular quality that makes the Central Coast feel like its own country. Dairy Creek Golf Course takes its name from the agricultural heritage of this valley, and the layout reflects the open, rolling character of land that was working farmland before it became a place to play golf. It's a public facility, the kind of course that serves a whole community — students from Cal Poly, locals, and the steady stream of visitors drawn to SLO's unhurried pace.
