TY Christine-
The groundskeeper at Rancho San Marcos told me that they are planning to open 9 holes. That looks right when you see the holes they’re fixing up and the holes that they’ve “let go” to nature.
To be helpful:
A farrow is a litter of pigs.
I am sure you meant fallow
I'm sure they are hoping you don't notice and include the gratuity too. I skip all restaurants that do this, even the small "heart of house" fee that Shalhoob adds after your total. Completely dishonest.
BTW, the Wylde Works Instagram link is dead. Seems the 900/30000 they raised was not enough to save whatever this company did (bees or something?)
Outside of an extremely wealthy benefactor willing to spend upwards of 10 million to rebuild the course, there will be no new development at the Rancho San Marcos golf course site. And certainly not a hotel or an amusement park... The County and zoning will never allow it.
The course itself went farrow, leaving the overtly expensive prospect of replacing the entire course - greens, irrigation, pumps, etc. The fact that Warner shuttered it during the biggest golf boom in history, shows what an awful business man he actually is. As it turns, luck is not smarts... The course was viable at the time of listing but was listed far above its value, so it was left to go farrow... Once again poor understanding of the market and straight up greed by real estate agents ruined a great thing.
Water was and remains an issue back there, but with the rains of this last winter, the river and the wells are once again flowing. It's a sad loss for the golf community as it was truly a special place. But it was by every measure, poorly managed.
Santa Barbara is one of the most underserved areas in the country for golf and will remain that way for eternity as the powers that be, (and the clueless hippies), will never allow another course to be built in our area. It was a big loss and most certainly highlights the mistakes made by the agents who thought they knew the market but instead missed it by 30% and 16 months.

Christine & Christine, you look like the Girl Scouts in the bar scene in, "Airplane."
I'm still confused if the Sama Sama charge is in lieu of gratuity? Can someone clarify?
I have a connection to Battaglia. Locals can rest assured there is no theme park in the works.
I honestly love that tattoo.
You’re at the wrong table- it looks & sounds scrumptious to this diner
The buyer is RSM Resort LLC, which leads to an address in Irvine that is also linked to Battaglia Inc., a developer of theme parks. But Battaglia Inc.'s website is copyright 2004, so I wouldn't assume that a theme park is imminent—instead, this is likely the same owner with golf-related plans. And no news about Hidden Oaks.
San Marcos Golf Course was sold to the company that does amusement parks correct?
Any idea when Hidden Oaks golf course is opening up and if it will still be open to the public?
"Pictured below: pork cannelloni with béchamel and manchego."
That does not look interesting or even appetizing.
I agree on the plastic utensils/to-go containers.
I carry my own bamboo utensils, keep several bundles in my tote.
I guess it’s cost effective to do plastic than pay for someone to wash dishes.
Mandatory service fees are a cash grab, especially when it's going to the restaurant and not the employees. That means it's a disguised 18% increase in menu costs. The trend to advertise a price but then tack on fees at checkout is a con job that needs to stop. Increase the menu prices by 18%, don't make me decide if I need to add another 20% (tip) to my bill on top of the mandatory 18%. The 38% (or more) that is now expected makes me do mental math gymnastics to understand the affordability of an establishment and creates a very negative experience at the end of the meal.
What's next? Fork and knife fees? Napkin fees? Standing is free, chairs are $2? Charge a fair price up front and don't make me subsidize your operations.
Isn't this State St. And Gueterrez where Esau's was
As someone who was in the service industry for 30+ years and now has a kid in the industry, I do not support this 18% service charge. I too will not go to Sama Sama.
It would be really sad if she wasn't kidding.
The Tully. 1431 San Andres St.
This is the Tully on San Andres next to Revolver Pizza.
I totally agree instead of charging the 18% for a higher wage for employees. Go ahead and raise your prices. Let the Restaurant go Waze decide if they want to pay the price.
Robertson has a great Instagram under the name of Drawbertson and has become a well known artist. I started following him years ago and he seems to move every few years. Very busy!
I can’t tell if you’re kidding?
