Laguna Lake Golf Course in San Luis Obispo to stay open

February 5, 2026

By KAREN VELIE

The San Luis Obispo City Council voted 5-0 on Tuesday to reject Councilwoman Jan Marx’s proposal to repurpose the Laguna Lake Golf Course to low-cost housing as a cost saving measure.

Residents and golfers emailed the city more than 120 letters opposed to closing the gold course before Tuesday’s meeting, with only three letters in support of repurposing the course. Dozens of speakers attended the meeting in support of the course.

The Laguna Lake Golf Course is a 26-acre, 10-hole, executive length golf course located at 11175 Los Osos Valley Road. It is owned and operated by the City of
San Luis Obispo at a loss of approximately $450,000 last year.

In 2021, flooding led to the closure of the pro shop and restaurant.

Instead of voting to close the golf course, the city council agreed to look into repairing a bridge and the pro shop at a cost of approximately $850,000.

The golf course is a real treasure here. Many students learn to play golf there, as it is a short course, it’s inexpensive, and utilized largely by locals, not tourists.

Pretty sure the Little Theater has fewer attendees, but SLO wiped out historic buildings, so it could build an exclusive parking structure, just for them.


Anybody else notice, that the corner lot the “not the right kind of” adobe house stood on, was not covered in parking structure? Seems, it didn’t really have to come down after all…

Don’t worry Jan Marx will bring it up again and again, like with many she won’t end her government feeding for many years, way past the time she should just go away. Don’t be surprised if Hedi Harmon, Katie Lichtig or such reaapear locally, even after their disastrous reigns, it happend with Andrea Lueker and others. AG Mayor Caren Ray will never stop trying for her round-a-bout and Halcyon.
