Dairy Creek Golf Course2990-B Dairy Creek Rd., San Luis Obispo, CA (805) 782-8060
Dairy Creek Golf Course is the newest of the three courses operated by the County of San Luis Obispo. Strung "links-like" on El Chorro Regional Park land just east of Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, it boasts some incredible elevation changes, forced carries over water and rocky arroyos. The bentgrass greens will put the steadiest stroke to the test. Add tricky sea breezes whipping around nearby Hollister Peak and suddenly you've got a 6,548-yard course to be reckoned with. The Golf CourseDesigned by up and coming architect John Harbottle (Stevinson Ranch, Genoa Lakes), Dairy Creek offers a true test of golf, without disturbing the natural habitats and beauty of the land. Driving just 5.5 miles west of San Luis Obispo, Dairy Creek is defined by Pennington Creek along the front-nine and the actual Dairy Creek that meanders through the back-nine. Built along rolling hills, the par 71 course rises and falls 300 feet twice, offering enchanting views of the surrounding El Chorro valley. But you better pay attention to your game, lest you find yourself in one of the many water hazards or bunkers that define this, one of the most challenging courses in the area. This course has a links-style design with very few trees in the layout. The course has been built in the rolling coastal foothills with several elevated greens and tees that call for many uphill and downhill shots. While the fairways are open, quite a few are narrow and sloped with environmental sensitive areas on the sides of the fairways from which you cannot retrieve your ball. There are several gullies and creeks that cross the fairways and require lay-up shots if you hit a short drive. Most of the greens are large with undulation and some are tiered. There are no fairway sand bunkers but some small ones are located around the greens. Wind in a factor most afternoons. The other tee shown is an additional men’s tee, which is also rated for ladies. There are several discounted green fees with a special rate for residents of San Luis Obispo County. 18 holes . Built 1997 . John Harbottle Design . Bent Grass Greens .
