Pajaro Valley Golf Club

Pajaro Golf Club is always a pleasure to visit. Mostly known for their excellent, and usually speedy greens, this course is quite enjoyable for the variety of challenges presented to the golfer. If you want to score, you will have to exercise your game management skills to position yourself properly on the greens, due to nearly extreme slopes on several holes. Although you will have a great mix of flat and not-so flat greens to play, putting yourself above the hole on some of these highly sloped greens will definitely lead to a much bigger number than expected. It is for that reason that this course becomes much more fun to play the more familiar you become with it. You will have the opportunity to bomb the long ones off the tee, while at the same time you will be required to be precise off the tee box to position your ball for a good approach shot. Although it helps to be long off the box, a good, accurate but shorter golfer can easily complete when it comes to scoring. NOTE: They are currently expanding the green on one of the most difficult greens on the course, #5, and you will play a temporary green that is very small, and rough. It isn't any better than playing a green that has just been punched, but they expect the newly "remodeled" green to be playable within a month or two, according to the pro shop.

course in reasonably good condition, difficult greens make the challenge

Course NEEDS marshals! Slow players that ended up becoming a 5some. Called the pro shop and nothing was done. it took us over 6 hrs to play 18 holes! I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone since apparently, there's lots of beginners, drunks, players without golf etiquette that play here.

Fairways were in good shape as well as most greens. One green did need some attention with lots of ball marks. Conditions were cool (60's) but not breezy so playing was very pleasant. Originally paired into a foursome, staff accommodated us with our request to play as a twosome. Overall, a very nice experience.

I have played here a lot over the years. Greens are playable but need lots of attention. Cart paths are terrible. Lots of daiseys in the rough makes finding your ball tough. If you aren't picky and just want a place to play and can't pay big money for a round of golf. This course will do. For $60 on the weekend I would spend another $15 or $20 and play somewhere else. There are better places for that price.

Fast greens and sometime tough to read the line. Tee boxes need some work but they are doing a lot of repairs so hope it gets all fixed up in the next year or so. Has potential to be a very good course but the maintenance is inconsistent. Lots of uneven lies and tiered greens. Tougher than the slope rating listed and if the winds off the bay blow it can add a few strokes to your game.

Small course. People are friendly. Course needs a little work. They are trying a some renovating.

They had a hole shut down no notice, lots of patches of dirt, unlevel and unsauded tee boxes, no starter=uncoordinated round lots of back ups. A lot of the sand traps were rock hard and some of the greens had fungus growing. It was an ok value at $12.

Only negative was the pace of play... Needed a Marshall to push the slow players along. All in all we had a wonderful time and would recommend this course to anyone who comes to this area. We'll definitely play here again.

Wide fairways...fast greens....scenic..quiet...a fun course...Feels like you are on the water.

Course well maintained with most fairways in very good condition. All greens in good condition also with only a few holes having some "ground under repair" maintenance, primarily with new bunkers in the making.

As a single, I was placed behind two five-domes, yes, five-domes. A foursome behind me. This made for a very exasperating frustrating day. In addition, the two five-somes were playing a tournament so they were super slow. While I realize that some of this was out of the hands of the pro shop, I think they should have sent me off the tenth tee. Maybe it was just my luck as I have had great experiences here before. Do think it should be a policy of foursomes or less-somes.

Course is fun and in good shape. Pace of play was excellent and staff was very friendly.

We had low expectations considering the cost of our round and our expectations were met. The tee areas and the fairways are terrible. The greens are actually very nice and a lot better than many greens I have played. The clubhouse is an eyesore as are several buildings out on the course. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our starting time to start because no carts were available. Play was excruciatingly slow. For $28, I guess we got our money's worth. But, we will not be back.

Course is wide open. Was overwatered when I played making for some muddy balls and wet lies. Greens are fast and many have severe slope resulting in a need to keep the ball below the hole. It seems they are trying to improve the tee boxes (they need leveling and some had very little grass).

Weather was very clear making for some wonderful views on the back 9.

Folks who work there are friendly as are the folks who play. I enjoyed my round.

I had a real nice time on your course yesterday. Pace of play was fantastic! Excellent greens.

Course needs to sweat the finer details....ran out of carts...many areas needed landscape attention. Round took 5.5 hours - Best hotdog and smiling service at the sugarshack though......

Played here about 2 years ago, found the course to be in generally better condition than the first time. Fairways had some clover and other small white flowers which seems normal for this time of year. Greens all in good shape, traps have better sand. Club house still kind of run down but serviceable. Not much in the pro shop. Kind of hilly so you may not want to walk although clearly some people do walk.

To play 18 holes for under 30 bucks its tough to beat the value of pajaro valley. Fast greens, a good mixture of long and short holes and friendly staff. A good way to spend the afternoon.

I enjoyed this course because its very open & flat. The staff is very nice& its really clean ! I would go there again soon!
