At last!

Great day playing the north course.

I’ve often hesitated to play as I prefer my own cart when a single.

They accommodated my request.

One of the better courses in the area.

Highly recommend!

Great Course

Will play the course again. The combination of course layout and ocean views were incredible. If I had to find one thing, I would suggest they improve on, it would be the snack options on the beverage cart. There is no halfway house, and the snack options were limited to chips, jerky, and candy bars. They maybe need to put a couple of wrap options for those looking for more than a Snickers bar. Obviously not a deal breaker on this course but would be nice.

Could be Pebble Beach South except for…

Fantastic course. Great staff. Terrific setting. Needs more persistent ‘player assistance’ (waited a bit too much for the $) and having no on course food or snack bar at turn (no turn) and Cart Girl only has ‘snacks’ was disappointing. Will be back, but compared to Monarch Beach at 40% lower green fees and better on course amenities, they’ll keep getting more of my business.

Please Pick It Up!

For the money, which is EXPENSIVE, it’s not that we were in a rush, but the group in front of us who sucked, were using a protractor to help line up their putts. As a result, WAY TOO SLOW. A Marshall should be marshaling.

That said, great day with great friends.

Not worth it

Paid $250 to play a 5 hour and 15 minute round. Clubhouse is nice, but the greens are ridiculous. It’s like mini golf. You could have a 6 foot putt and if you don’t make it, it rolls 20 feet off the green. This isn’t the PGA tour. Make the course fair.

Rough shape

Bar spots and weeds in the fairways. Great Layout and views with little maintenance. some tees on the par threes there nothing but divots.

We ran into two groups of six on the back nine.

Weeds Divits

Great Layout, Great views Fairways were burned out little grass, weeds and divots Greens would not hold any shot. We ran into two groups of sixes on the back side.

The high green fee would make sense if the course was in decent shape.Thats how great the layout and views are
