Golfer Reviews
Beautiful
Staff was friendly I recommend it to all my friends I play luguna seca at least twice a month
Laguna Seca in December
The weather & conditions were great; especially for a crisp December day!
Laguna Seca World Class Golf Course
Laguna Seca is an incredibly beautiful and well maintained golf course. The lay out is wonderful with each hole offering a different challenge for all levels of golfers. The course turns into the mountains with some beautiful views. The clubhouse with beautiful restaurant and well stocked golf store and dressing rooms can't be beat. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, the range is one of best settings in the world. All of this for an unbelievably low price. The greens and fairways are in great condition. You really can't beat this golf course, anywhere in the world.
Not a walk in the park.
The course is fairly hilly, so is somewhat difficult to walk.

Overall good experience. Groups ahead of us with sunflower seeds was pretty annoying but the course was in good condition. Golfed like crapola
Never got to play: course over-booked
OK, I like this course a lot and have played there before. Had a tee time at 1:20 or so and when we got there about two dozen golfers were all standing around the 1st tee. they were out of golf carts and over 1 hour behind. I really do not understand how they can get into this situation. They run a golf course everyday. Although they were nice about it, I heard them complaining about other golfers who had a negative opinion about the way they ran the course. Seems they had a point. It's not my style to be rude and confrontational but after some thought this is my review. Needs to be some accountablility.
And, not any kind of compensation for my lost fee on golf now or something.
Challenging course
Great course - lush, green, with spectacular views. Was very breezy there for a while, then died down. Many elevation changes. Greens were moderately fast and very challenging - hard to pick lines.
Laguna on a sunday
Played Laguna Sunday afternoon, course is dry but in good condition with a drought. Greens a bit hard again water. The course is well maintained, staff is great, always greeted with a smile, I feel welcome.
fast round at about 3hrs and 5mins for 18 holes for a twosome. Can't wait to get back out there, Oh I am on Friday.
coarse overbooked
Nice coarse/staff, typically a good round. Coarse taking tee times which overlapped a women's tournament. Made it super crowded. 10th tee when we approached had 5 groups waiting. We were a threesome and joined with another threesome, playing 6 for the back nine..super slow..almost packed it in ,but hung in
Power outage round
There was no power when I arrived so I got no cart and no rain check for round or cart. They said I have to call Golf Now to receive and consideration.
Nice and Hilly
Fun Course, very challenging to me, but then again so is every course! But this course is in very good shape considering we haven't seen any rain for a year.
The Staff are very friendly-not snooty, so it made for a Great day!
Fun and fast paced!
The course is in good condition. it's fun, long and fair at a great price point . I would recommend it to anyone that comes and visits the Monterey peninsula.
Laguna Seca - A Pleasing, Good Value, Course
I play Monterey courses regularly and this is a bargain. If you are looking for perfection, you will have to play elsewhere and pay far more that an Laguna Seca.
I played this often when I was a teaching pro and found it moderately challenging from the championship tees. Now, at 64, a find it moderately challenging from the white tees. It is a good mixture of: hole shape, elevation changes (except for hole #9), bunkering, green elevations, and difficulty.
Greens speeds are appropriate for the amount the greens are sloped but they are always slightly lumpy...not terribly so, but if you are a "die it in the cup" putter, you will pay dearly.
Laguna has one unpleasant hole (#9) and one marginal hole (#10).
#9 is a trudge, straight up hill, and unreachable for most. To make a bad hole worse, the green is elevated and shoved up against out of bounds at the rear. To the left is a gaping sand trap, to the right is an low hanging oak tree that forces bump-and-run chips to a banked, elevated green. I have never met anyone who likes this hole. It is drudgery at best unless you are long off the tee. If you aren't one, as I no longer am, just relax into a three shot hole. Pressing off this tee will still result in a three shot hole so DON"T. Get some air under your drive...think about switching to a three wood here as pounding a driver into the up-sloping fairway is poor strategy. Again, if you aren't long, then you will need three shots. Don't fight. Instead, enjoy some free easy, no pressure shots and try for a one putt. Just guessing here, but I think the average player's score on this par four is double bogey.
#10's crazily-left-to-right-sloping, steeply downhill fairway sets up the average golfer for a lost ball. It REQUIRES a well-placed straight, tee shot right down the left side, or a draw down the middle-left, both of which, the average recreational golfer is hard-pressed to produce off the tee. Slicers will either layup off the tee with a club that they can control, or resign themselves to hitting three from the tee (AND THEN laying up with a club they can control).
The rest of the holes are a mixture of easy, medium, and challenging holes. #13 is an exceptional hole, worthy of any premium course, especially from the back tees.
Disappointed
I played this course as a student for nearly 40yrs and I was so disappointed at the conditions of the greens. If I had to rate them on a scale from 1-10 they were a 1. As soft and bumpy as a green can be and no, there were no signs of recent aeration. Overall the entire course has way to much water on it. So for these reasons I would not recommend this course to an intermediate player.
Be prepared for the bunkers.
Course in good condition. Pace of play was slow 5.5 hr. round due to a large group ahead of us. Recommend asking pro shop if they have a large group playing that day and what time are they playing.
Consistently Good
I love football season/Sunday play dates. We had an 11am tee time. They had us paired with a single. Got on the course 10 minutes early. Never had anyone in front of us or behind us. Was a 3.5 hour round. Considering the drought , the course was in very good condition. Sorta depressing see dried out ponds, but other than that it was a fun round. We drive from Santa Cruz to play here.
Good course, challenging but manageable
I continue to be amazed at the great conditions California courses seem to be in, despite the drought. This is another GolfNow bargain!
Good course, but needs some work.
I've played her many times over the last 20 years and after an absence of 5 years I just returned. The course is not up to the standards I remembered before I left. The course is still a good one to play, but course maintenance had gone down hill. Fairways and greens are okay, but the rest of the course needs attention.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a great and detailed review. Good to hear I'm not the only one who despises the 9th! Love Laguna. Some day I'll figure out how to play the 15th!
