Must Visit if in Monterey
Definitely a must play in the area. Located about 20 minutes from the main stretch in Monterey, getting in is a little confusing. Once you arrive the clubhouse is very nice. The driving range leaves a little to be desired, during our visit it was mats only and it’s restricted to 200 yrds and under. Warm up area/range and carts were included with the greens fee. The course was in great shape! Surrounded by mountains and woven through neighborhoods and a vineyard, there is plenty to look at between shots. The fairways were perfect, the rough was tough but well kept. Greens rolled fast but true and there were some large greens/challenging pin placements during our visit. Definitely will be back on future visits to the area. I would highly recommend.
Absolutely a blast
Loved every hole
Amazing views
Lots of wildlife!!
Deer including two bucks and wild turkeys
Very interesting course
We looked at the score card, distance from back tee is only 6100. But it’s very challenging to play, not to mention there are two holes that need to hit 200 yards carry to pass water hazard. This course has different challenges on different holes. Condition is very good, staffs are very nice. Also you may want to come early to practice at the range- it’s all grass and included
Staff and director of golf are terrible.
Played here as part of our honeymoon we were greeted by the staff with a “what do you want” after they were busy talking for 5 min while we were waiting. Someone who started with an L was somewhat standoffish and acted like he was better than us for some reason and someone with a g or a c first name was the worst. Save your money this resort is not the best Monterey has to offer. You deserve better, as we found out the next night staying in a Carmel inn and just playing any course we wanted.
Carmel valley ranch
The course was in excellent condition but the pace of play was terrible. The Marshall allowed a five-some to tee off ahead of us and it backed up the entire course. On the fourth hole we had 3 groups waiting to tee off.
Pristine conditions, awesome design
What a course. Awesome layout and design. Perfect conditions. Fast greens. A shorter course that plays more difficult than you think. You have to plan ahead each shot. Very fun and I will definitely be back.
What a great course
Played CVR for the first time and it was a fantastic outing. The weather and course were perfect.
Very good experience
The people were really nice and I would like to come back again
