Glen Annie Golf Club Overview: Located in the foothills above Santa Barbara, this relatively hilly golf course is built away from houses and has a nice, quiet feel to it. Not particularly long, many golf holes offer a good chance to score well, but one must not lose their concentration by getting lost in the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, as there is enough trouble to hurt the score. The best holes are reviewed below:
Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 3: This short par four is way downhill and features a pond short of the green that can be hit on both shots, so the golfer needs to be conservative off the tee, but aggressive on the second shot. The views from the tee box are great and the green has a tier separating the right half from the left half.

Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 4: The best hole on the course is target golf with trouble in every direction off the tee. The second shot then must clear the reeds in the lake to a semi-blind green. The water continues all the way up the left of the green, so right is the only safe bailout option.
Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 11: This par three is at the top of the property and has commanding views of the rest of the golf course and the Pacific Ocean. The green is a small target but more wide than deep. Putts will break a lot.
Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 14: A quirky par five, the tee shot either must stay short and right of the 90 degree dogleg left, or attempt to fly it. From there, it is a tight shot (or shots) to a fairway sandwiched between hazards on either side, eventually reaching a green that is relatively easy to putt..
Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 16: This middle length par four is downhill and doglegs left around a series of bunkers. The views are great from the tee box, but the green is pretty accessible from the fairway.
Glen Annie Golf Club Hole 18: The last golf hole of the day requires a solid drive between the lake on the right and the rough left. Although left is better, if hit too close to the tree, the shot will blocked by said tree. The green has water on the right and a series of bunkers on the hill to the left.
