Vandenberg Air Force Base, California

The Marshallia Ranch Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par-72 course that measures 6,845 yards from the back tees. The course has a course rating of 73.4 with a slope of 130.  The course was designed by Bob Putman and originally opened in 1958.

One of the top rated golf courses among the active military bases. Located between Vandenberg AFB and the Santa Maria mountains, the grounds include the 167 year old Marshallia Ranch House.  This is a championship course in the coastal mountains of California. It is challenging, peaceful and beautiful, with fairways cut through the wooded terrain and rye grass.  The best word I could use to describe the course is Majestic, with beautifull mature trees ans absolutely beautiful scenic views.  Wildlife is abundant with songbirds, coyote, deer and maybe a wild boar.  When I played the course in March, we had some serious fog in the morning with blustery ocean winds and frequent patches of golf ball-grabbing ice plants. The staff was very helpful.  The clubhouse is fully stocked with the latest logo fashions and equipment. The facility also includes a snack bar, large dining and patio area, and men and ladies locker rooms. The driving range is convenient to the clubhouse. Oh, did I mention that the Marshallia Ranch House is available for Temporary Military Living?  Marshallia Ranch is a definite course to replay soon.
