Pismo Beach Golf Course

Pismo Beach Golf Course is a nine-hole municipal facility located in Grover Beach on California's Central Coast, situated near the southern end of the Pismo State Beach area. The course occupies relatively flat coastal terrain characteristic of this stretch of the Pacific shoreline, where ocean breezes are a consistent factor in play. As a public course serving the local community and visitors to the Pismo Beach area, it provides accessible golf in a region better known for its beaches, dunes, and recreational vehicle camping than for golf course development. The layout is straightforward, designed to accommodate players of varying abilities on modest acreage. The flat topography and coastal location mean wind direction and strength often determine scoring conditions more than the architecture itself. Typical of older California municipal courses, the design emphasizes playability and pace of play over dramatic features or strategic complexity. The course serves both residents of the Five Cities area—Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, Oceano, and Shell Beach—and tourists visiting this popular coastal destination. Its proximity to Highway 101 and the beach makes it a convenient option for travelers seeking a quick round. The facility operates without the amenities of a private club, focusing instead on straightforward public golf in a coastal setting where the natural environment provides the primary appeal.
