Many varied shots and club selections

Not having played this course before. There are some lessons learned about club selection.
The par 5 15th is one in particular because being long off the tee may get you in trouble.

You are better off being a little conservative at times and try to be more accurate with the shots.

There are a lot of interesting holes with the terrain and the deep bunkers.
A lot of fun playing this course.

Good place to be on a weekday

We played on a Sunday for the first time in a long time. Pace was a little slow but its good to see the beer cart out on weekends. The restrooms on the course could use some attention. Good place for a good round of golf.

Course in great shape

We ended up playing two rounds. The replay rate was the same as the very discounted rate we got off of Golfnow. I thought it was a bit high for replay, but after driving 74 miles it was better than heading home early on a Friday and putting up with traffic.

The round was very enjoyable, the greens were in very good shape except for a couple of dead spots on the front edge. Well maintained considering the drought year we are having in California.

7 holes are elevated greens Most of the par 4's your second shot is the most important. A lot of the greens has subtle breaks.

Picturesque location and great layouto

Course can be challenging at times with many blind greens from the tee. Bad shots can be overcome on many holes, but can be costly on others - no real hidden trouble (unless you are a heavy hitter, then watch the water on 15), so you can see what you're dealing with. Lots of bunkers, so practice your sand shots. Lots of fun and will play again.

Good condition, average+ greens

Played Laguna recently. Even with the California drought, the course was in good condition. The greens were fairly fast. Some were slightly bumpy, but that is kind of what you get with most courses in Monterey County. I thought for a Friday it was not very crowded and we played in under 4 hours. Overall, course was in good condition. Generally Laguna is not too difficult except for 3 or 4 holes that really make you pay attention.

Usually enjoy this course...

Lagune Seca has always been a great course to play, but...
Today, the greens were pretty bumpy. Go to putt and the ball would bounce three or four time on every hole...Almost should have been two-putt only.

Fun course

Course was in good shape. Played on a Tues in 4 hours.

Small complaint. When you use a cart they charge you $3 for cart key that you can get back if you bring key back to clubhouse. Of course I forgot and simply returned cart to designated place. There really isn't a good reason for this policy except for them to pick up an addl $3 fee from I suspect many players who forget as this is not the norm at most courses I've played.

Decent course, bad Greens

My biggest complaint about the course is the greens. They definitely need some work. A lot of great courses in the area, its probably best to just skip playing this one.

Raise the boxes

For a course that is in view of the highway I did not expect the experience I recieved. You quickly forget the highway as you make your way around the course. With hills all around, a few water hazards and the raised tee boxes. The raised tee box on hole 1 instantly sets the tone for the day.
if you enjoy raised tee boxes, dog legs left and right this is the course for you
