Rating 71.3

As you walk among mature willows and oaks, you hear the gentle whisper of the Carmel River. Under the steady gaze of a family of deer, you find a renewed sense of focus. In the shimmering blue and gold of lupines and poppies growing wild in the meadows, you are inspired by a simple thought. In this most natural and serene setting, you game will blossom.

Great layout and well maintained greens and fairways.

Loved the course. Fairways are as good as greens and greens are in great shape. I drove all the way from Fremont to play and did not regret the drive.

Quail Is Excellent!

This course is consistently well maintained and always a delight to play. Greens, fairways, sand- all top notch. Combined with great weather, it was an amazing day. We got an outstanding Hot Deal from Golf Now ($80) and snatched it up as fast as we could. Love this course and will be grabbing those Hot Deals ASAP again!

Great course and staff

Amazing course, really nice. Most nice courses can be frustrating playing as a 20’s handicap but this one is relatively forgiving. The staff was extremely friendly.

I left a club on a hole and it was given to the clubhouse. The clubhouse was closed by the time I got there but the general manager James went through a lot to make sure I got my club back because he knew I lived in Santa Cruz. He drove down, unlocked it, had an alarm issue while unlocking it but he was the most concerned about me getting my club before heading home. Very nice guy, and nice staff overall.

Pace of play was good and comfortable, the people I was paired up with were members and really good guys to play with. Overall great experience

Fantastic course

Quail Lodge is a fun layout with a lot of nice views. The course is in fantastic shape and the greens are quick and smooth. Highly recommend playing here if you get the chance. Only thing that could improve is to have ice in the coolers on the carts to save golfers the time and hassle of getting ice.

Two thumbs up. Great conditions, true greens and a nice layout. Par 71, but all the par 3’s are tough.

Nice to see the crew out taking care of the small stuff.

Spectacular course! Very scenic and perfectly challenging. The biggest difficulty was figuring out the greens. They are the fastest greens of any course I have ever golfed.
