Awesome conditions even after a rainy day.
We had a lot of rain the day before we played and thought the course might be a bit sloppy. It was not. There was standing water in some bunkers but we expected that after a heavy rain. Had a great day with my son in a fabulous track!
Beautiful Course
Short but challenging. Loved the views on the back nine.
What a beautiful course
my 12 year old son and I had a blast playing CVR! We are from MN and play a lot of golf and were soooo impressed with the staff, course layout and the condition of the course. The greens were rolling to at least an 11 or 12, which was so fun. the back 9 which was through the rolling hills of CVR was breathtaking. the Pro Shop was very welcoming as well. We'll definitely be playing CVR again when we travel back to the central CA coast.
Fantastic golf experience
Fun course. Not too long. Incredible elevation changes that are really challenging. Beautiful views.
Hidden Gem of Carmel, CA.
I was fortunate enough to discover this course because of my lessons there with legendary teacher, Fred Shoemaker. The course and staff are just Fabulous! Best value for the money in Carmel! Highly Recommend!
Spectacular views
Course was in fantastic condition, tee boxes were like hitting off of carpet, fairways were in great shape, greens were fast and undulating! Course is not super long , 6200 from the tips , but you have to play smart, greens are where your strokes will add up! Definitely recommend and definitely will play again
Scenic Back Nine
We’ll maintained course. Front 9 mostly flat. Back 9 has 5 holes on the hillsides. Would not recommend walking this course. Excellent course conditions.
Loved it!
Possibly most immaculate course I’ve ever played. Perfect condition. Better than Spyglass. Helpful, friendly starter. Beautiful views with lots of deer and wild turkeys.
Unaware of aeration
Besides not knowing the greens we’re aerated.. great course .. I know aeration is necessary..
Lack of disclosure
A huge disappointment. When i booked this time, there was NO indication of any course maintenance. Usually the golfnow website indicates this circumstance.
In addition, the back nine was closed, so one had to play the front nine twice. And it had the greens aerated and sanded probably one day before, so virtually unplayable. One of my playing companions quit after nine holes, just as i did. He too did not see anything about course maintenance when he booked the round.
Worse golf experience in years. Should have been told the condition of the course prior to booking. This is either a golf now error or course error in posting info on website. Will see if any accountability will be assumed.
