About County of San Luis Obispo - Department of Parks and Recreation
The Cabrillo Country Club was developed and designed in 1925 by Quintin Miller and E. W. Murphy as a nine hole course with the club house, an old Spanish style building, located right on the ocean . In 1934 California State Parks purchased the property. Russell Noyes was the first Warden of the park, and came to take charge of it in February 1934. The family occupied the upper two rooms of the clubhouse, and the one large room downstairs was their living room as well as the lounge for the players. Mr. Noyes’ wife was put in charge of the clubhouse and Russell had the responsibility of taking care of the course, as well as the park. The WPA and the CC together planted the beautiful trees in the present campground as well as the park. In 1934, after the course was purchased by the state, Mr. Noyes designed (on paper only) another nine holes where the front nine is now. In 1948, Albert Lape, using Mr. Noyes plans with a few changes, began building the new nine holes, which opened in 1951. The current clubhouse was built using barracks from Camp San Luis Obispo. In 1957 the course name was changed to Morro Bay Golf Course. The only redesign on the course was done in 1987 on hole fiftee...n by Robert Muir Graves to make it a dogleg. Robert Muir Graves also designed Chalk Mountain Golf Course in Atascadero, California.
Morro Bay Golf Course is a “must play” golf course on the central coast and is a favorite among seniors, juniors and anyone who want to feel they are playing a Pebble Beach-like track at a fraction of the cost. The course has 18 holes with Bent/Poa grass and kikuyu grass fairways. All putts break to the ocean no matter how they are sloped.
This beautiful facility offers stunning ocean views from every hole! Hilly terrain places a premium on club selection, but the real test comes in the putting. Crowned by Black Hill above and the sweeping Pacific Ocean below, Morro Bay Golf Course has a straightforward, traditional feel and a refreshing lack of manmade trickery. As you play, notice the many species of birds that call Morro Bay home.
