Pace of play on back 9 was abysmal 3 hours on a weekday

Course was in great condition with a few muddy areas due to extra watering for a very hot week. Front 9 was a 2:20 pace which isn’t great but acceptable. Back 9 iit slowed to a crawl taking 20 plus minutes a hole. After 6 holes and 2 plus hours I gave up and drove to golf shop to see what issue was. There seemed to be one foursome holding up the rest of the golfers. When I asked golf shop staff they said they had been sending the slow group messages on the cart GPS bit it wasn’t helping. They said they were trying to get staff out to talk to them but it hadn’t happened yet. Infuriating that they will let 4 selfish and self involved golfers ruin it for everyone else on the course.

Best Public Course in the Area

We went during a heat advisory, so not a lot of people almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. We played the mountain/canyon course. Mountain is very nice and ALOT of elevated tee shots. Canyon was more flatter and had more lay up and water holes. Canyon was much harder then the mountain course. I prefer the mountain course. Can't wait to play the lake course.

This course has to be in my top 3 course in all of Monterey/Santa Cruz/ Santa Clara county. The layout and scenery is VERY beautiful, just don't forget to stop and look around every so often to take in all the views.

They have a cart girl but we only saw her once on the first hole and we tee'd off at 2ish. Carts have GPS with the updated pin location so its more accurate. Carts do drive kinda slow, and they provided 3 tees for each person on the cart.

A must play!

Had the pleasure of playing this terrific layout with my son. Went off at 11:45 and finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Challenging but fair with great scenery and views. The course was in top shape and is a must play for anyone golfing in the Bay Area. The staff from the pro shop to the grille were super nice and accommodating. Take the time to check out the golf museum and trophy collection. The history they have created gives it the feel of the type of old links courses like you would play in Ireland. Can't wait to play it again!

Very nice course in good condition, pace of play and staff could be better

We arrived, went to hit balls and there was a sign that said ball dispenser out of order, get balls in pro shop.

Went to pro shop to be informed range closed Monday mornings.

Snack shack employee pretty rude.

We teed off at 7:50, 3rd group off.

Group in front of us was a clown show, zero marshalls out there, took 4:40 and nobody ahead of group in front of us.

Group in front of them was two holes ahead by number 7 and 8 holes ahead by number 10.

Course conditions were great, really enjoyed the layout but it is a difficult course.

Would love to play it during a day when pace is better, 4:40 on a Monday morning is unacceptable.

First time but won’t be the last time

I got a great twilight deal. I live in the area and pass it on my way home countless times. The course I played was a bit challenging compared to other courses I play in the area. Lots of holes where you have to clear gaps and hazards to make it to the fairway. I lost a few balls but enjoyed the challenge. I’m an ok player nowhere near a pro. I wouldn’t play this as a beginner course but one you will enjoy with a little bit of experience. Don’t let this detour you as a beginner just be aware and bring enough balls lol. Great course can’t wait to go back!
