Leave your stress behind as you enjoy refreshments on the veranda at Caddie's Grille while overlooking panoramic vistas of the Hunter Ranch Golf Course and classic Paso Robles, California vineyards. The Golf CourseThis course was built using the local terrain, which is the hilly wine growing area of Paso Robles, without a lot of earth moving and alteration. You will have many uphill and downhill shots. Besides the hills, the major design feature of the course is the numerous large oak trees that were left in place and incorporated into the design. On several fairways trees were left in the middle of the fairways, which can block your approach shots to the green. Several holes use the trees to create narrow openings from the tee to the fairways. There are several large, deep sand bunkers both on the fairways and around the greens. The greens are medium to large in size and very fast. The greens have some slope and a few are tiered but they are not very undulating. The most difficult hole is #7, a 586-yard, par 5, which has a severe dogleg left fairway and plays uphill. This hole has a very narrow opening from the tee to the fairway and trees all along the fairway that can interfere with your shots. The back nine has several holes with water in play. Hole #15 is a 518-yard, par 5, featuring a dogleg right fairway that veers around a lake. This hole can be reached in two when hit to the left side of the fairway, leaving about a 200-yard shot to the green. Surrounding the course are several vineyards, and down the highway, wine tasting rooms. Kenneth H. Hunter, Jr., developed this course, along with La Purisima Golf Course in Lompoc and Sandpiper Golf Course in Goleta. All three courses have received recognition as outstanding courses. The course at Hunter Ranch has been well received with four and a half stars from readers of Golf Digest. "The best course on the Central Coast.... Great elevation changes and scenery… well worth the trip.... the best kept secret in California."
