Glen Annie Golf Club

About Glen Annie Golf Club

You'll find this public track carved into the rolling hills above Goleta with sweeping views of the Santa Barbara coastline that make it worth the trip alone. The layout takes full advantage of the natural terrain, with several elevated tee shots that showcase the Pacific Ocean stretching to the horizon. While the course doesn't have the pedigree of some Central Coast gems, it compensates with solid conditioning and a routing that feels more thoughtful than your typical muni design. The real appeal here is the combination of accessibility and setting. You're getting legitimate ocean views at public rates, which is increasingly rare in this part of California. The 4.4 Google rating from over 300 reviews reflects what locals already know: this isn't a destination course, but it's a reliable option that delivers better-than-expected golf in a spectacular setting. Walking is permitted, which adds to the experience and lets you fully appreciate the coastal vistas between shots.
