Pajaro Valley Golf Club

It's a shame that a great track has been let go. The greens are in horrible shape. The removal of certain sand traps has not been done very well. Price is great for 18 with a cart, but for the upcoming holiday there is no way I would pay the posted green fees for the current conditions of this course.

For it being a weekend it was a four hour round. The staff was nice but you had to leave a deposit for the cart key and the practice ball basket.

For the most part, it's a fun course to play. Greens need attention badly. Multiple 5-somes made for slow play early in the morning. Other than that, the staff was cordial and the great green fees softened the blow of the negatives. I would like to play it again when the greens get their much needed attention.

This golf course was is in very poor condition. We were even given carts that had no wind-shields and dead batteries. After calling the pro-shop 3 times, we had to wait over 30 minutes at hole #6 before someone came out with a replacement cart which was dirty and filled with the trash from the previous riders. The fairways and greens need immediate attention. There are actually 5 greens in my opinion that need to be replaced. I don't know what happened out here but this is course has gone down hill fast. I am letting them know by not golfing here again until I hear they have cleaned up and cared for the course. Poor Customer Service & NO more Pajaro Valley Golf!!!

Nice course overall nice expansive view through out the whole course . Really enjoyed playing here. Discouraged they over booked the golf carts and my group and I had to wait over 45 minutes for a car after being told twice it would be ready in 15 minutes. They did drive the cart out to my group while out on the greens which was a good gesture. Some greens needed imidiate attention due to the fact they had dryed sandy patches yet their brochure states they have the areas best greens. I did not think so.

Staff was friendly. Fees were appropriate for course conditions. Greens need a lot of attention. Greens at 9 and 15 caught some form of des ease after airation. Hole 9 has a temporary green.

The greens are in extremely poor condition. The price we paid through GolfNow was very reasonable, but that matched the poor condition of a lot of the greens. Still if you want to play a round and don' t want to spend a lot, then this course is certainly playable and enjoyable.

Greens are mostly in terrible shape. Wouldn't go back until they at least re-do the greens.

This course has so much potential with the views, the climate, and the location , but no improvements have been done for a while. Sand traps are dirt .Greens are bumpy and even have many dead areas. I used to play here a lot a few years ago , but things need to improve in quality.

They advertise best greens in Monterey County. What a joke! Fairways are terrible like they ran out of water. Was embarrassed bringing friends there for the first time. Worst of all they do not warn you about punched greens. They got me three times on this but never again. Until they change mgmt I would not recommend this course to anyone.

wonderful place to play ocean breeze good views
I love to play here I use every club in the bag

Normally some of the best greens around. Today was the first time playing there in a few months. Cart died on first hole and when we returned they didn't have any more with windshields or tread on the tires. They had 2 temporary greens today with several others that should have been temporary with sand patches and some slash cut aeration. Seems like they really let the place go in the last few months.

Course needs sosme work but overall it is a nice place to play, not crowded and open.,

I love me a older course. This fit my bill. Did I mention huge trees? Course is inland a bit so the weather was better than you might find right on the coastline in Monterey County. Several tees are elevated as are some greens. Forgiving fairways generally speaking. I remember one narrow fairway out of 18. But hey my home course is pretty tough. greens were very good. i'd play it again anytime.

The views of the valley and the cool fog layer made it scenic. My friends and I found the course challenging but the greens were dry and uneven. It looked like they just recently punched the greens. But the price we paid was worth it.

Some rather interesting holes, with good challenges. Open and forgiving for the most part, but you can pay a price on several holes if you go are a little wild.

Pajaro Valley is a longstanding favorite among the locals of the Watsonville/Santa Cruz area but it is in serious need of revival. At its best this course has some of the fastest greens on the central coast and can be a challenging track but its been down and out for a while now. The greens were punched recently and are very sandy so putting right now is a joke, very slow and bumpy. Hopefully in a few weeks this will all be healed and the greens will be in better shape than they were with a lot of dead, brown areas. The tee boxes are some of the worst around and need serious overhaul. They're nothing but chewed up turf right now. I'm not sure why they can't just be leveled and resodded. Not worth the $50 they charged us right now but I'm hoping they get serious about improving this course because it's a cool place to play when it's right and has a great group of regular members and players.

greens were plugged day or two before, for them to not notify players is unfair and dishonest , my out of town guest and i were needless to say disappointed and walked off the course with a sour taste .

The facilities are old and shabby. The carts are beat up and filthy. Cart paths in need of repair. Course is mostly green but grass less and weedy. Lots of fairway tight lies. We won't be back. But the coffee was good.

Views of the Monterey Bay Peninsula, very few homes on its border, rolling fog, beautiful gum and cedar trees make this venue a pleasant day out. The course is open w generous fairways, The greens were challenging and rather quick -- don't end up above the hole! Restaurant staff was pleasant but the Pro shop guy needed some customer service training --- have a bad night, buddy?
