201 State Park Rd, Morro Bay, CA 93442, USA
Morro Bay Golf Course is a beautiful Course located within a State Park and has ocean views from every hole. We take pride in our greens and customer service. 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. Morro Bay Golf Course is consistently voted "Best Golf Course" by the Tribune Newspaper, The New Times and the Fresno Bee. We invite you to be our guest for a challenging and memorable golf outing in a spectacular setting that won't "break the bank".

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Morro Bay Golf Course and what to expect.
Morro Bay Golf Course is regarded as a strategically complex layout. With a slope of 123.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 71.0 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6067 yards. The back tees extend to 6361.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 71.0 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 6361.0 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.
Morro Bay Golf Course is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 123.0 and yardage reaching 6361.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
