Pajaro Valley Golf Club

not much grass on some fairways...green on #3 was unplayable
but we can't complain much for the price of the round.....we had a great day...

Unfortunately, the price was $55. Poor conditions, lots of bare/thin spots, wet in other places although no rain for 3 weeks.

Wouldn't pay more than 25 to play Pajaro again

Pajaro is a vary injoyabe coarse with plenty of callanges,but not so difficult that you feel like you have paid for a beating. Bobby the manager is always on hand and puts in his personal touch when you check in.The course is in good condition and some of the recent updates makes the cousre easier to score as well.The views of elkhorn slough are plesant and the fresh ocean air make pajaro a pleasure to play.

This is a great piece of land with lots of classic big trees, you can mostly avoid the trees except on maybe 2 or 3 holes which are tight off the tee. Greens are sloping and in many cases it helps to have local knowledge. The par 3's are all excellent with a lot of character, number 11 will ruin your day if you don't have a good wedge game and you end up left or right. Some of the greens and tees are in rough shape. Normally you can accept greens that have been impacted by some natural challenges but tees that are bone dry and brown are tougher to figure out - they have these all over the course. That said you can play this course for a reasonable price which makes it great. Beware of highway 1 if you don't know this area - the stretch from Santa Cruz to Watsonville has become a nightmare - if you're coming from San Jose count on at least an hour. This isn't one of those fancy banquet facility places, it's golf-and-bar place with lots of Watsonville locals.

Staffs are friendly and helpful. Bathroom at the clubhouse needs major repair. May be they are not proud of what they have. It s a good course.

We had a nice time. Definitely a course that's better with a cart, so the golfnow deal is appreciated. The greens really are what they say and some of the holes have great views of the Monterey Bay. Most courses with such beautiful scenery cost Way more, and don't have nearly the value you get here. The staff is great, and unlike other Monterey courses, they'll be nice to you whether or not you have a bunch of money to blow on a round of golf. Not too many course marshalls out though, so be aware before you book a mid-day weekend round: you might be out there for awhile.

Love this course. Great greens Friendly staff.
We play here often and have a fast round/

The personel at the front desk have little people skills as they are rude when you ask a question that they think you should know the answer to. The course was flooded the day of my booking and the rain was coming down really hard even the PGA would have suspended play but they would not do anything about a rain check and made me feel stupid for even asking. The sand traps could use a little work as they are mostly hard dirt, all in all I like the course and play it often in summer time. It is a great course for friends who like to compete with each other on greens reached in reg and putts. The greens are fast and hard to hold on long shots if you dont put a little spin on the ball. This course is a must for every serious fun golfer.

The greens are not doing well. There appears to be some root fungus in several. Still playable. The course is fair and without gimmicks.

Not the greatest of tracks. It's a relatively short course. The greens were fast and well taken care of. The rest of the course was in pretty good shape. I will play here again.

overbookRhed so didnt get to finish 18 holes.Need marshalls to improved speed on play.Fairways and greens not in very good condition

Course has a nice mix of length and greens. Greens are fast and if you are above the hole, watch out.

Always fun to play and stays pretty good during the rain.

The course was fun and the whether was perfect. Some of the greens had been recently sanded, and I was not told. My other comment is that the distance markers are hard to find.

In overall, the golf course is good but green is difficult.

Course was in great shape, greens were a blast, not to fast just right. Weather was great, fog started coming up Elkhorn slough as we were finishing 17, quite a sight.

Fairways tend toward xeriscaped (lightly watered) so there's a lot of carry on tee shots. Greens stimp at around 11 and roll fairly true. Great value.

Nice golf course good practice facility . Fairway's are pretty dried out lots of hard pan lies.

They have a nice friendly group at the pro shop, especially Ryan! The restaurant is nice and the breakfast is great. Also really nice to have a tournament there. We played in one this past summer and they did a great job. Also had a really good BBQ!

I got a great price but had no idea here was two tournaments going on so it made for a really long round. Still like the course just would have been nice to have been notified of that.

very beautiful setting with views toward moss landing slew
