Laguna Seca Golf Club

The last couple times out I haven't been able to complete the full course due to various reasons. I always enjoy the layout here at Laguna Seca. With all the elevations changes its a blast to play.

Right now the Greens are in the best condition I've ever seen them. Extremely smooth and void of pitch marks. They're rolling at a medium-slow speed which is average for this track. The greens at Laguna Seca are sneaky. They don't look very intimidating but can bite you in a hurry if you're not careful.

Fairways were average. Decent coverage throughout but certainly a notch or two below the last few (high end) courses I played. Tee boxes were in nice shape as well. I was only on one sand trap and it was ok. I was right at the bottom flat spot of the bunker so it was a bit damp and hardback from all the recent rain. Still, it was it was playable.

As for POP I'll post a separate thread on that topic. Once I broke free of the people I was paired with, I zipped around the back 9 in an hour and some change.

Overall, Laguna Seca is an absolute blast of a track. Conditions are as good as ever right now, but still, it's on par with muni courses. Full rack rates are steep but the online rates aren't too bad.

The greens were in great condition.

So nice putting experience

Very nicely laid out course. Unfortunately the pace of play was excruciatingly slow. Couldn't get any momentum and felt the cold more due to all the standing around.

Pace of play has gone to crap. 2's in between groups of 4's, seen groups of 6 & 7. Zero attempt to control pace of play. Saturday was the worst I've ever seen. Some sort of group event caused a 3 hour pile up on the front 9. Took 3+ hrs just to complete the front 9. 4 groups waiting on 8. Seems like their letting the course go. Pace of play has gotten out of control.

Challenging course with mountain views and friendly staff, providing for a pleasant round of golf at a great value!

A good days golf on a very nice and diverse golf course.

Have played this 12-15 times. I enjoy every time out as there are enough holes that challenge the average golfer

The scenic layout is breathtaking with a fair but unique challenge. Love the elevated tee boxes but get ready to hike to the blue tees. Greens were in great shape and sand traps in good condition albeit some had larger rocks in them. Pace was slow. Definitely a great deal to play a scenic course.

Beautiful day for our first time here. Played with two wonderful guys from Canada, they were very patient with my wife’s game. Course is very well maintained. The greens were out standing not to fast rolled very true. If you don’t mind a few planes flying overhead it’s a great experience. My one sort of complaint is the dog legs, if I don’t know to put your drive it could spell trouble. Over all a really fun day.

Enjoyed the round with good pace of play and lucky with the weather

Laguna never fails as my favorite course on the Monterey peninsula. Perfect weather there when other Monterey area courses are overcast Laguna is usually sunny. Best value of play in area. Course is always in good to great condition..

I have lived here for just over 2 years, and my first time to play this jewel. Great track with nice elevation changes, par 71, Robert Jones Trent designed, just plan fun. Great bang for the buck!

This is the 10th time I have played here. It is by far the best value in golf on the Monterey peninsula.

Course is fun to play, and pace of play is very good. The fairways are really bumpy and there are bare spots and weeds all over the place. Some of the greens look very stressed. If you can get a deal on the tee time it would be worth the money, though.

My faith in course etiquette has been renewed. My buddy is in town for 3 days and we booked Laguna on a Saturday which I try to never do, weekend golf. We stood on the first tee and watched 4 tee shots not close to the fairway. Candidly, at that point you think here comes a 5 plus hour round. We were a twosome and both hit good tee shots so we are wedging the green. We get waived forward and thank the guys profusely. We played ready golf through the rest of the front nine. We get to the back nine and have a group of 5 in the middle of fairway. They are very slow and we are waived up on 10 green, we once again play ready golf, even though the course was reasonably full and we play 18 holes in 3 hours 10 minutes. Great day.
