The Golf Course
Pure golf is what you get. A challenging test of skill and character, La Purisima rewards the bold and leaves the recently-hooked newcomer loving the game even more. It is beautiful in its naturally undulating landscape. Challenging in its hole design. And with tees never far from their preceding greens, a remarkably enjoyable walk. No more or less than it needs to be to make your round completely memorable.
The fairways are narrow to medium width with many irregular lies due to the hilly terrain. There are many shots either uphill or downhill from elevated tees to elevated greens. The greens are medium to large in size with some undulating and many subtle breaks. There are trees and brush lining the fairways with some of it coming into play, particularly on the back nine. There are several sand bunkers on the course, many on which are very deep, particularly the ones around the greens. In the afternoon the wind can start blowing, adding to the difficulty of the course. There are seven holes where ponds and streams are part of the design.
Kenneth H. Hunter, Jr. developed this course, along with Hunter Ranch in Paso Robles and Sandpiper Golf Course in Goleta. All three courses have received recognition as outstanding courses.
