Many people tee up with the green Central Coast Hills as their surrounding at Dairy Creek Golf Course, but soon that space will be shared with glampers.<\/p>\n
Josh Heptig, the San Luis Obispo County Parks Golf Superintendent, told KSBY that a new use for that piece of land was needed after the California Men\u2019s Colony lost half of its population.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe prisoners provided the reclaimed water to help irrigate the golf course so when the prison population got cut in half we lost 60% of our water so in the process of that we lost half of our golf course,\u201d Heptig said. <\/p>\n
Heptig added that the reclaimed water from the prison was used for irrigation and was not potable water.<\/p>\n
The new eco-camp is owned by a hospitality company that also owns Marcerro restaurant on the golf course.<\/p>\n
\u201cNightsky is our way of delivering a comfortable way to experience and recreate in the outdoors particularly for folks who may not be comfortable sleeping in a tent,” said David Smith, Nightsky owner. <\/p>\n
A stay at Nightsky will also offer other wellness experiences such as yoga, a sauna, and cold plunges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t think of a better place to do it than San Luis Obispo given the abundance of nature and adventure that San Luis Obispo represents,” said Anatoly Mezhov, Nightsky owner. <\/p>\n
KSBY asked some local golfers at the course what they think of the site.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s actually a good idea,” said Craig Cummings, Shell Beach resident. “You know it\u2019ll be a little bit of a glamping thing from what I understand the camp is on the outside but built out nicely on the inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy only concern might be the noise and if there\u2019s a lot of noise and activity you know for me to play well, I have to have it quiet,” said Morro Bay resident Jerilyn Moore.<\/p>\n
Tom sheller, a visitor from Minneapolis said he was surprised seeing the structures.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve seen something like that,” Sheller said. “I\u2019ve heard of it you know on TV and on the news.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nightsky is working toward a summertime opening date and prices will range in the high hundreds, depending on the day of the week and season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many people tee up with the green Central Coast Hills as their surrounding at Dairy Creek Golf Course,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-487074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
