Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Very nice course
The staff of the course were very welcoming courteous. The drive range is very conveniently located for a warm-up before golf. The golf carts are in great condition and very comfortable. The course was in good condition. It was a beautiful day the day we went and we couldn’t have asked for a better day of golf.
Good but not Great
for a semi private club was disappointed with the overall management of the course rules to include (enforcing proper golf attire, children running around at the driving range, walkers walking on the golf course when the signs clearly state golfers only, ). The Staff at the bag drop was extremely helpful providing assistance with clubs and with some pointers about the course and how to play certain holes for us first timers.
Favorite in the Monterey County for every day play
The Quail Golf Club is always excellent for an afternoon of golf. Unfortunately, pace of play was a bit slow yesterday. Additionally in speaking with the pro shop due to the extreme hot weather a couple fairways were burnt out. We definitely need to book earlier to get in under the setting sun. I would recommend no later than 2:00pm for fall golf.
Worth the drive from Santa Cruz
It was a great afternoon of golf! Course is fun to play and greens were in good shape. Fairways were not in their best shape. One member told me course was in right shape but if that’s rough shape, other courses should take notes… I’d play again for sure!
Great venue
Starter was super nice. All staff are outstanding. Fairways a bit think as they look like they were punched a couple of weeks ago. Sits in a valley so wind is always swirling.
Play if you can
Played in 3:20 as 2 some.
Great outlet but not worth it.
The course layout was great, challenging and but fair but the course condition was absolutely terrible not worth for $238. The greens were good but the fairways and roughs were so bad, it was laughable that they call that place a semi private/resort course. The pace of play was good in the front, then twosome jumped in at the turn and waited every shot in the back and there were 5 groups on the last 2 holes. I called the pro shop at the turn but they didn't do anything. Even though someone from the pro shop came out and apologized when I finished the round, that's 2 hours and 30 minutes late and basically apologized for doing nothing.
Just OK - no way I'd recommend especially for women.
The course is OK in terms of routing and challanges. It's short but well placed bunkers and fairly tight fairways keep you from bombing away. There are way too many holes on the front nine in horrible condition - muddy, thatched, heavily sanded. I'm suprised they didn't shut a few holes down.
We picked up a scorecard and my wife noticed it didn't have handicaps or ratings for women. It turns out they have a separate scorecard for women. OK... And they have been out of them for weeks! What?! They gave her a copy of a copy of a copy of a scorecard that only had par and handicap - no distances. She's a good golfer and usually picks between the shorter two tees but that wasn't an option. She decided to play the forward tees but it was hard to tell where they were because we couldn't compare GPS distance to scorecard distance.
It's just lazy and frankly kind of rude to women. I mean, give me 10 minutes on an AI platform and I can have a woman's scorecard ready to print on a half sheet of paper that looks and works great.
Set the right expectation
Comparing to other courses around Carmel/Monterey, this course is not as I expected. The fairway and bunker conditions are not good to the price you paid but green is perfect. Otherwise, it’s a good course.
Awesome golf experience!
This course was beautiful! It played very well. The pace of play was great. The staff was super friendly and we got a great deal! If you ever have a chance to play this course, make sure and take advantage of it!
Totally awesome Golf Course
We had an amazing experience at Quail. The course is gorgeous. The pace of play was great!
Would recommend over and over again!
Awesome course
Range was max 220ish. Course is in great condition, have played at courses similar for slightly less price point, but the starter got me and my son out 10 minutes ahead of the other couple they paired us with and we were able to play full 18 in under 3.5 hours.
Incident
I was struck by a falling tree limb on the 10th tee and unable to continue play. The staff was moderately concerned but did not offer a comp round.
I have not heard from the head professional at all..
Fun course with good conditions
Very enjoyable round and would definitely play again. Wind wasn't really a factor, some interesting layouts and features along the way. Would've loved if there were a snack/bar cart, but we still had a great time.
Nice layout, great condition, well maintained.
It was a raining day. Amazing that the course was still very playable. The greens were still "dry" and fast. Rain stopped after a few holes. The fairways were dried quickly. After 18 holes, no mud on shoes. It tells how good the course condition is.
