Slope: 123 Yardage: 6299
This public course is available for outside tournaments.
Reservations can be booked seven days in Is a short, narrow course
set in the mountains among groves of oak trees. It's the kind of course
you have to play a few times before you can actually score well. A hole
to watch: the fourth-a 406-yard par 4. Known as "Cardiac Hill," it plays
straight uphill. You can see the green from the tee, which isn't much help.
The hole is deceptive in its distance and the tendency is to come up short.
Accuracy off the tee is a must. Dean Greene holds the men's course record
of 64.
Off Highway 101 at the south end of Atascadero, exit
at Santa Rosa Avenue heading east. Follow the Heilman Regional Park signs
