La Purisima is located an hour northwest of Santa Barbara just east of Lompoc on Ca 246.

The course is a demanding layout journeying over a 300 acre tract of rolling, oak tree covered sand hills. The contoured fairways are narrow with multiple water features and deep sand bunkers defending the landing areas and the greens. The routing is roomy with each hole well isolated and unique and the wind off the Pacific constantly a factor. From the back tees it's 7,105 total yards, 75.6/143, course/slope ratings with three shorter sets of tees, designed by Robert Muir Graves in 1986.
