Santa Barbara golf courses range from greens to blues, hillsides to countrysides. It only makes sense that The American Riviera® possesses some of the most incredible golf courses in the country. Santa Barbara offers six public 18-hole courses, four of which are a short drive from downtown Santa Barbara. There are also several nine-hole golf courses that include practice facilities.

From the rolling greens of Glen Annie Golf Club to Sandpiper Golf Course, which is just within earshot of the crashing surf, golfing in Santa Barbara is always a memorable experience.
