Good value

2nd group off in the morning, so beat the crowds that can slow down play. Course was in good shape except for the greens. Greens were very beat up. Every putt bounced its way toward the cup. Good value still though for the money.

Golfers, Seek Out Laguna Seca

Laguna Seca is a great golf course, just east of Monterey's airport. The course is challenging without being stressful--and beautifully scenic in the verdant valley along Highway 68. I recommend this to golfers of all skill levels.

Big Supprise!!

I wanted to get out for the evening on Friday with my wife as we were home all day so I decided to book a round and found one at Laguna Seca for 24 dollars, with a cart. Every thing was fine until I arrived at the golf course. The person behind the desk at the pro shop told me that if my wife rides with me it is an extra 13 dollars. This was real cheesy as my wife was not golfing and we were the second to last people going off at 424 pm. There were two guys behind us one walking and the other riding. My wife and I had to wait an inordinate time for each hole I was playing two balls as it was so slow that I could have been in a foresome and it would have still been faster. The people were nice on the course but the employees or management could have speeded things up so they would not have to be so greed as to charge my wife who was an observer an extra 13 bucks. This was the big surprise. I will not play there again unless someone pays my bill...

Challenging, scenic and in great condition

This is a fantastic golf course, and when I played it I was on seventh heaven with the nicely mowed fairways and the textures of the undulating greens which were true and slightly faster than expected. The course isn't long but it does have a number of very challenging holes. The par fives look easy, but be very careful as a single errant shot can result in a double bogie (or even more). The back nine is more difficult and there are a couple of long par fours. Elevated tee boxes make it fun to hit long and high drives. Finally, don't forget to visit the driving range which is very unique and scenic, although you have to climb a hill to get there (also a cart is available to make the climb easier for older folks). The salad bar is quite the treat.

skip the front 9 and just go to the back 9 until they address the issues

so, call me spoiled with the central valley's golf offerings? the first 9 are in disrepair and need serious attention. I see that i am not the only one disappointed with the upkeep of the grounds. it was cheap, but i guess i got what i paid for. I would recommend any sacramento area golf course over this one in its current state. do yourself a favor and skip this one.

fantastic weather and a great day of golf

This is our second time to play this course,no fog and weather was fantastic this time,pace of play awesome for a sunday with perfect weather(3hrs 45mins).Course was in great condition(Greens not perfect with a different kind of grass or weed interupting it)but still fast and true for the most part.Course variation makes it fun and interesting,hills elevated tees and rolling greens add to the challenge and fun of this course.Scenery around the course very breathtaking with some houses there just amazing.For the money one of the best bets in Monterey for a great day of golf!

What happened to this course?

I play this course several times a month and it seems like overnight, this course took a dive. The course layout is great and depending who you deal with in the pro shop, the staff can be great. The restaurant seems to be closed every time I'm there and I've never seen the snack shack open. BYO I guess... The condition of the course is rapidly declining. They are letting the crab grass take over and most greens have some sort of cancer. almost all bunkers have evidence of someone not raking, of very poorly raking after their visit. The greens have changed dramatically. Once nice and smooth. Cared for excellently and very reliable. Now! What the heck happened? My guess is there is not enough money to staff a quality greens keeper and crew. And with the closing of the Rancho Canada west course, and the east course on Jan 1st, it's going to get a lot worse. There is no Marshal to keep the pace of play on schedule. Expect 4.5 hour rounds. Think about this for a second Laguna Seca Golf Ranch:

Fish stink from the head!

The bad part about this is, this course is close to home and I'm bummed they are letting this happen.

~Cheers
