Carmel Valley Ranch Resort

Played this course to escape the damp, cold, windy weather on the Monterey Peninsula. The course is semi-private, but the staff and members were welcoming and friendly. Nice driving range with piles of balls for practice at no charge. Short game practice area was good. Minor construction between holes 8 and 9 did not impact my weekend play. Really enjoyed playing the course, which was in good shape. Course climbs up the surrounding hills and provides some great views. The holes are varied with different challenges, making it quite fun. Will definitely play here next time I am in Carmel area.

Horrible is kind. This course is not cheap, well over a $100 a round and wants you to think it is a top golf course. IT IS NOT! There is major construction going on all over course, very, very noisy. Very hard to play golf with heavy equipment everywhere. . Really. DIRT AND POOR CART PATHS AND DETOURS. No warning. The course doesn't care about quality of golf, just money. Also some fancy gps, but it keeps telling you to get back on cart path when you are On the cart path. Very annoying! The cart goes super slow when that happens, messing with your timing and pace of play(5hrs). Very bad. Not a good golf course, don't be fooled. You can play good courses near by for 1/4 the price, and HAVE FUN! SAD. I suggested free lunch, hotdog and soda, and management laughed, and wanted me to be quite. They don't want people to know. Plus many other issues. Really Horrible. NO EXCUSE. PLAY ELSEWHERE!

Top notch course, facilities, and surroundings. The course offers challenging holes on a well groomed course.

It was so windy. Wind made the play condition tough.

It's perfect course. Perfect course condition, view, staff friendliness etc.

I will go there again soon. Perfect course.

Great course! The front nine is straightforward but back has some real teeth.

Some courses are very driver dependent, but this course is Very second shot dependant.

Except for the coots I thougt the course was a great course to play. I especially liked the back 9. It was challenging and the views were beautiful

Played here as part of an NCGA two day tournament. This is a nice course that wanders through houses and condos. You must place your shots on this course. Greens are decent size and roll well. There are some elevation changes that can be tricky. Play it in the morning as the wind tends to pick up in the afternoon. It can be foggy on the coast and be sunny and nice just a few miles away, both times it was exactly the case.
