Rancho Maria Golf Course
About Rancho Maria Golf Course
Rancho Maria Golf Club opened in 1965 as an 18-hole championship course. In 1970 it was purchased by brothers Jack and Jim O'Keefe together with Stan Brown and Keith Adams, and it has remained in those families' hands for more than five decades, with a PGA member from the O'Keefe family overseeing operations throughout.
The course lies in the foothills of the Santa Maria Valley, with views across the surrounding countryside and a routing that avoids parallel fairways, giving each hole its own corridor.
