The Hidden Jewels of the Central Coast   

Morro Bay Golf Course is often referred to as “Poor Man’s Pebble Beach” and is a “must play”. The course offers stunning panoramic ocean views from just about every hole. This “player-friendly” 18-hole public course has tree lined fairways and hilly terrain placing a premium on club selection.   

Though there are few sand traps (5) and limited O.B, golfers should be prepared as the course offers some naturally challenging playing conditions. The course is nestled on the side of a mountain offering a variety of difficult lies. Fairways are Kikyugrass and putting on the Poannua greens is a unique test as there is a tendency for putts to break towards the ocean.       

The golf course is located at the base of Black Hill overlooking the picturesque hamlet of Morro Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It sits inside Morro Bay State Park and Estuary. Many birds and wildlife call the golf course home, which has been awarded “Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” status.   

Golfers can visit the course’s well-appointed practice facility to hone their skills prior to playing. It includes a driving range, putting green, putting green and sand traps surrounding an undulating green.   

The pro shop is well stocked and will meet all your equipment needs. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Don’t be afraid to ask for “ playing tips” from the starter located beside the tee on hole one. The View (link), the courses bar & grill serve high quality food in a timely manner. Tournament groups will appreciate the banquet room, which overlooks the course and the Pacific Ocean.   

Morro Bay is located along scenic highway One just 12 miles Northwest of San Luis Obispo, California.
