About Santa Barbara Golf Club

Santa Barbara Golf Club is the city's primary municipal layout, set on the hillside above Mission Santa Barbara with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and the Santa Barbara coastline. The course plays across rolling terrain with oak trees, native plantings, and the kind of pastoral beauty that has made Santa Barbara one of California's most desirable cities. Green fees are set by the city to remain accessible for Santa Barbara residents, making it an affordable alternative to nearby Sandpiper for locals who want ocean views without the premium price. The course is genuinely scenic and the setting is among the best of any municipal course in California.

History

Santa Barbara residents and visitors who want ocean-view golf at a municipal price — the city's beloved everyday alternative to the premium Sandpiper experience.
