Pajaro Valley Golf Club
About
Originally designed by Floyd McFarkland, Pajaro Valley Golf Club has large Monterey Pines lining its generous rolling fairways. Elevated tees provide scenic views of the Pajaro Valley below. Opened in 1922 and redesigned in 1962 by Robert Muir Graves, the course features small bentgrass greens and four ponds with water in play on three holes. The fourth is one of the course's most challenging holes, a 420-yard par 4 with triple-tiered green. The course also was once the home of former U.S. Open champion Olin Dutra, who spent the last part of his career teaching here.

Pajaro Valley rvisited
I had not played PV for quite some time, as I felt the management had let the place deteriorate considerably since I first played there several years ago. They have put a lot of effort into making the course great again, and I was very surprised at the improvements that had been made. The greens are again in extremely good shape and the course is in excellent shape. It was a great pleasure to play there again! I would like to see more specials available to locals and senior players.
Course in Poor Condition!
I have played the Pajaro Valley course many times going back to the early 1980's. Always enjoyed the layout and the reasonable rates but the last 2 visits have been dissapointing to say the least. I played it with friends over a year ago and the greens were in terrible shape, almost unplayable. No discount or warning was given at check-in. This May 2015 we decided to try it again after we had heard the greens wre back in good shape! Much to our surprise the week day green fees had gone up to a wopping $68 with cart $51 to walk. Greens were fair but the rest of the course was in terrible condition. $68 dollars (no senior rates) for this course in it's present condition is a joke! $45 with cart would be more realistic! Go play Crazy Horse Ranch $55 with cart or even Laguna Seca which is also $60+ which is a better layout and in much much better condition.
beautiful views
It would be nice if the course was better marked. It is easy to get lost.
Great Time at Pajaro
Great time at Pajaro this last weekend. The little bit of rain Sunday morning must have scared people off. We teed off at 12:00 and had the course to ourselves the whole round. Turned into a very nice day. The course is in really good shape and the greens the best I've seen them. Only bummer was they closed the bar early so no 19th hole for us.
This course is much improved
I had not played here in quite a while but heard they made some changes for the better and I couldn't agree more. The course is in the best shape I've ever seen or played! The course from the club house to the 18th green are classy and I couldn't say that before. Go back and give them another try or go there for the first time. My partner had never played there and thought is was a very nice and challenging course. Pace of play on a Friday 1000 tee time was great too.
Greatly improved course
I played this course 6 months ago and since then the course has greatly improved. The greens are great and the fairways are all green
Greena
I played here about one and half ago ,the course is greatly improved way better condition and the greens are in very good shape.
Pajaro
Greens are getting better. Condition has improved from spring when the course was not being maintained. Tee boxes still need work.
Country club golf
We played 27 holes in 4:10 min.The course was challenging and in good condition.Golf here is an extremely good value.I am looking forward to my next round at Pajaro Valley Golf Club and would Recommend to everybody.
Challenging but playable for high handicappers
Nice course in pretty good condition. Small greens are well protected by bunkers. Fairways are reasonably wide but trees can cause some problems on mishits. Some holes present significant elevation changes. We all felt it was a fun course to play.
We were disappointed that a fivesome was allowed to play right in front of us, which led to very slow play as that group had no desire to speed up play even though we were waiting for them at every tee box. I will be reluctant to play there again knowing that management allows this on busy days.
However, overall it was a fun, but slow, outing.
good place to play
Pajaro, on thanksgiving day, was a treat. The condition of the course was much improved since my last visit. The greens were still fast but receptive to approach shots. Fairways and rough were maintained nicely.
A great course.
It was a fun course too play and I would play it again the next time I come too Ca.
Great Views and Weather
Nice fast round on a Sunday morning 4 hours course was in great shape
The course is back.
The course is in great shape. My only complaint, is that almost everytime I play, my cart runs out of juice and I have to call the clubhouse so they can send out a different cart.
terrible greens and little grass
The greens are like a moonscape ...rough , bumpy and indentations everywhere. Unputtable really
Review
Good experience, I didn't have any food or beverage but I enjoyed the feel of the course. Plan to be back
Capital investments......finally!!
My buddy and I had just about given up on this course, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the greens and fairways had been groomed (even if the greens had been recently aerated.) We also so noticed that that the carts had new rubber on them and we did not have any issues with them during the round, although they could do a better job cleaning them. I have always like the lay out of this course and if the investment continues it could be come one of my favorites.
Had a great day
Noted much improvement in the course overall from when we played a few months ago.
A good value
This course is always a good value. Some very scenic holes. Some challenging ones too. Overall this is a course I will come back to often.
