First but not last time

I finally got to Laguna Seca and I’m glad I did. A playable layout but tight in a number of places where it made sense. The greens were perfect. Great practice area and when the clubhouse renovation is completed the place will be a high recommendation.

Laguna Seca Busy

Front nine pace was very good, however, upon arrival to the 10th tee box, it was backed up with 2 foursomes and 1 3some, Which meant we wouldn't have finished the round.. We called the clubhouse for permission to play the front nine again, which they allowed. The course needs to be "marshalled" better IMHO.

You’re in for a bumpy ride

Course in mediocre shape. Some of the worst “cart paths” I’ve ever seen. A disgrace. Could use new ownership to implement the obvious upgrades it sorely needs.

A decent value for the m,opney

Since the closure of the two Rancho Canada courses, Pacific Grove and Laguna Seca have become the affordable golf courses for the Monterey Peninsula. Laguna Seca has a quirky layout, especially hole 15, but that's the way it has been forever. Holes 9 and after 18 are a challenge to walk, and I prefer to walk. The restaurant is closed for remodel.

Laguna Seca is good value

Since the closing of the two Rancho Canada courses, Laguna Seca has become one of the good, affordable courses on the Monterey Peninsula. It's is good condition, although the tees are chewed up. Hole 15 as always is quirky, but it's always been that way. (I did par it today, one of the few times.)

Clubhouse is being renovated so there is no F&B. Portable restrooms being used. Greens were very good. Fairways need a little work. Sand traps part of next year’s renovation. Tee boxes a little undulated, hard to find a level area.

Really fun and interesting course.

Nothing bland about the layout. Holes are layed out on rolling hills. I’m ready to play this every trip to Monterey.

Bang for your buck

I’ve played Laguna dozens of times and the greens were by far the best I’ve seen. They were still bumpy in places because they get so much public play by people who don’t want to pick their feet up or clean up after themselves but definitely true in places. Bunkers are playable but not really sand. Tee boxes could all be updated but again, still playable. And everything else was pretty decent this time around. The golf now rate seems pretty good until you add on the cart fee (luckily I got the hot deal that came with a cart). Still the cheapest in the area for what I think is a really fun layout. Not super long but definitely challenging.

Fun layout

This course was co designed by RTJ Sr and RTJ Jr, and has a lot of very fun holes. Course condition took a big hit after shutdown, but they have a plan to improve in place.
