The Marshallia Ranch Golf Course is 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 championship
course, in the coastal mountains of California. It is challenging, peaceful and
beautiful, with fairways cut through the wooded terrain. Designed by Bob Putman, the course opened
in1958 with rye grass. The 18 hole
course is 6845 yards from the back tees, par 72, with a 73.4 rating and 130
slope.
The course is absolutely beautiful, with excellent
maintenance. 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.
