This course is incredibly challenging and some people don't like it because it has really long fairways, I personally love it because it gives me a lot of different ways to play and different clubs to use every time I come out even if I don't get the best score, it's absolutely beautiful. Well, cared for and an excellent course to practice Long drives and your putting. Additionally, it offers a real challenging putting practice area and a nice driving range. Absolutely worth the price point. For how much Golf it offers beautiful, wonderful setting.
What’s not to love about La Purisima!! A fantastic course and a great staff!!! Played there many times over the years very challenging to say the least. If you haven’t played there yet you need to soon!!!
This course is as beautiful as it is difficult. It is easy to see why it is ranked as one of the top public courses in California. La “Pure”-isima is just that… it’s a first class golf course. Additionally, If you and your group are with the vibe to rent to Finn Scooters I would 100% recommend you do that. We had an absolute blast riding them around, and they follow push cart rules which was an added benefit. The course has a lot of undulation and blind shots, challenging even the best golfers. That’s why they host pro and qualifying tournaments here over the years. One last thing to mention is that there is hidden beauty in the natural design of this course. With so many other courses in Southern California being surrounded by houses, residential properties, etc. the design of this course flows naturally with the hills and mountains and you feel kind of like someone just dropped a few holes into this pristine landscape.
⛳️ Golf just got a turbo upgrade 🛵💨 Riding into birdies with style—who needs a cart when you’ve got a scooter? This was way too fun.
