Manzanita Links — Attraction in Manzanita

I played 9 holes on Sunday, 10/20/2024.

I showed up a few minutes early, and went in to inform the starter/pro/pro shop attendant (I believe his name was Jeff? Hope I got that right) that the other 2 players on my tee time wouldn't be making it.

He was super relaxed and friendly, told me the course was going to be more or less empty, and to get started whenever I was ready.

The course itself was a blast. So casual and relaxed, not a lot of outright difficult holes, but with how dense the brush is, keeping it on the fairway is pretty crucial. Fairways were good enough, some of them in a little rough condition, but still nothing that I'm going to complain about. Not like you get at a $100+ course, but that's not what you're looking for here, in my opinion. The greens were honestly way nicer than I had expected or hoped for.

Overall, I had a blast, and will be back for many more rounds...

Visited while on Vacay. Walked 9 holes with my 10 yr old. Was paired with a local "Rich" which made the walk even better. Gave us the lines and what to aim for then places to visit while in town.

Awesome fun little short course. Some easy holes tied up with some difficult made it fun for everyone.

Snagged a hat and shirt while in the clubhouse. The whole place was laid back with an awesome friendly open arms feel.

The hangout area clubhouse/first tee seating area is great!

Will definitely visit again when we are back this...

Course is of much better quality than what I remember as a teenager. The grass always looked dead and mud was everywhere. Now it's lush green with mud where it should be and reminds me of when I was a child and first played the course. Whoever took over, if it is a new owner, has done an excellent job creating a fun course that isn't too difficult for golfers like me who play once in a blue moon. It's only 9 holes so that means a couple of hours of good times during your vacation if...
