The changes, including new tee boxes framed with railroad ties or broken concrete borders, are more steps along the evolutionary journey of the Los Osos golf course, hotel and restaurant. Gary Setting, head professional at Sea Pines, said the new tees offer players opportunities to work with longer or shorter irons. They like the fact that they have an option, more than anything. The new tees brought out the Southern California Golf Association to re-rate the nine holes. New scorecards will be out soon, Setting said.
Management appears to want to continue down that path.
Twelve more hotel units are now being framed and should be ready by late summer. Also, plans for a rest room and snack facility near the western edge of the course are now before the county. A neighbor recently repainted the fire hydrants along Howard Avenue. There are no negotiations ongoing at the time, but Sea Pines management has submitted an offer for the property in the past. We'd really like to see something like that happen.
