Laguna Golf course was fun to play. Had a great time. Course is in good shape. The pace was kind of slow. It is good for the price.

Best Course and Value in the Area

Very Accomadating staff Dave and Tom are very helpful. I could not get access to my clubs for a sched tee time. They allowed me to pay the same rate and meer my grp at the turn--Thanks. The course was in great shape, the pace of pay is just right but we all know that can chg on any day. The weather is always good here and a few degrees warmer than Monterey proper or PG. Enjoy ur round! As Arnold said:

Best bargain on the Monterey Peninsula

The course and staff are great. Excellent practice facility, and very good food in the restaurant. The green fees are a significant bargain.

Perfect for visitors.

Coming from Florida I expected a different experience, but this was great! I played with my grandson who is a beginner and had no problems on the course from any other golfers.

Laguna Seca

Great course, excellent staff. My only suggestion would be to somehow get the people playing there to fix their ball marks on the greens. I fixed 10-15 extra on every hole.

Other than that it was a great day.

Very enjoyable golf experience.

The only downside to the experience was the club house and tenth hole snack shack were both closed on a Saturday, midday. Not able to purchase a cold beverage or lunch.

Great Day at Lagina Seca

This course has a number of different looks. Up hill and down hill. Narrow fairways on some holes. My problem for the day were the sand traps. The traps were very wet making it difficult to get out of. I live in the bay area which is 1.5 hours travel time so only play once a year. If you are traveling from the bay area, I suggest that you use the Salinas exit as it avoids the traffic into Monterey.

Course not in good condition

The greens were bumpy. The staff were not polite. One of them drove a cart by us, with clubs sticking out of his back basket, he squeezed by us, and hit one of the players. Instead of saying sorry, he rebuked us for parking where we were.

There was no Marshall, and the pace of play was slow. We had some

Impatient Players rain balls at us.:-((

Fun track

One of my favorite last minute decision golf courses. 6100 yard course. Greens are very puttable, despite Robert Trent Jones jr. Being involved in the design. Beautiful setting. Staff is always helpful and great. Just like any public course, pace of play is sometimes an issue on the weekend. That said, usually a quick round during the week.

Laguna Seca has a good variety of holes.

Have played Laguna many times over the years. Good layout, with a nice vairety of holes. The biggest fault about Laguna is the slow play. There are a couple of par 5's which the average ameatur THINKS they can reach in 2, AND CAN'T, which slows play. There are also several holes where it is easy to lose a ball if your shots are off target.

Tough public test

Do not attempt to walk this course unless you know what your getting into. Up and down fairways. Greens break at the hole a lot (could have been pin position that day). A lot of tough tee shots hat are strategic also.

Nice public course near legendary raceway

I like this course because of its elevated tees and greens. Its a hilly course so I would recommend using a golf cart. Just try to get to the driving range and you will know what I mean. The course has plenty of challenges that would make the round entertaining. I played on a weekday afternoon and the pace of play was great. Nice mature trees are present on most of the holes and plenty of bunkers guarding each green. Elevated greens on a number of holes so take an extra club when in doubt. The greens are good but I saw noticable differences in green condition from front 9 and back 9 (better).

Re-Review

This is a quick re-review to add some pictures. A fantastic and fun course in all respects.

POP, staff in the pro shop, challenge / forgiveness of the course and it's maintenance are all top notch. My only mild gripe would be the (senior) food server at 19. She can be a bit crabby, but, I've come to expect it and now I just see it as part of the establishment's overall charm!

A previous poster said that #10 and #15 should be imploded. I couldn't disagree more. Love the challenge of both. I'm not really a fan of the uphill drive at #9 but the extra nice staff at the #10 snack shack make it worthwhile!

If you haven't played LS, you owe it to yourself. Great course for a great price.

overall this is a good course. 2 areas that could use improvement are the greens and sand traps. They are inconsistent.
