Great course

we played a 4some on Saturday morning and it was pretty wide open. We had a blast. The course is difficult for my skill set but I love a challenge. The course was in great condition. The greens are tough but it made for a fun morning round. Would definitely play again

Enjoyable day with some critique.

Despite the drought the course was quite green. The rough was tough and the greens bumpy. The 10th green is a mess.The 15th hole needs to be redesigned.

oops! Laguna Seca

I just assumed all of the courses in the Monterey area would be equally terrific - not so. best thing about this course is that I was able to play it in just under two hours. The greens are lumpy and badly pitted. I don't mind the dryness - that's just California drought. Played Pacific Grove later in the day and LOVED it.

Nice course

I haven't played this course in several years. I was pleased to see the red tees for us women. It makes the course easier and my friend and I both did well. The people who work at the course are friendly and helpful.

Best Quality for Money Paid In Monterey area.

1st time at this course and we had a terrific time. The course was in very good condition and the weather was typical Monterey weather, cool, overcast with some sun.
The Course
Challenging to lower handicaps (if you play from the black tees) as it is a little on the short side, but not so overpowering to the higher handicapped players. Very scenic and colorful course.Tremendous amount of character and one of the more interesting courses to play locally.

The People
The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. We had a plan to catch and and they let us tee off early. We were only a twosome, but the locals who were in front of us (we could tell they were locals) actually waited for us on a whole so we could play through. A very rare courteous group that you rarely find now.

I have played almost all of the courses here (Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Poppy Hills, Bayonet, Pasa Tiempo etc) and I can honestly say that when I bring future groups to the area to play, this course will definitely be one of the stop overs. The value for what you are getting simply cannot be beat. I strongy encouage that you give this place a try.

Affordable local course

It's a fun course. I play here often since it's close and there are some good deals to be had. The course is in pretty good shape but the greens are crazy bumpy, bouncy, jumpy hollabaloo. It's pretty darn lucky to get anything over 6 feet to drop. A day on the golf course is better than most other days so even though these greens are frustratingly inconsistent , its still good to be on a course.

Very nice course while in Monterey

It had been years since I played this course. I am a much better golfer now than I was then so the course did not seem so long or as difficult.
The course is in great shape and with the beautiful spring weather, you can't beat a round of golf in Monterey.

aeration

It would be nice to know that the course was post-aeration and that the greens were essentially un-putt able before signing up for the round.

Always look forward to playing here.

We play this course about two to three times a year when in the area (we are from Sacramento). It's challenging but not to difficult, weather so far is usually great. Wind might pick up later in day, but still enjoyable. One of our favorites!

Poor greens

I know courses have to aerate their greens. But when they do they really should reduce their prices, it makes for a terrible day of golf playing on recently aerated greens.

Punched greens without a notice

We booked on Golfnow and no warning that the greens had been punched. You should warns customers and not charge full price if you just punched the greens. I'm taking my business else where.

Good value for the price

The course is a good layout and plays longer then the card due to changes in elevation. You have to think you way around this course, driver isn't always the smart play. There are some challenging holes and knowing where to play the ball is important. There are birdies to be had but big numbers as well.

Difficult to differentiate between fairway and rough, multiple different grasses and weeds with everything about the same length. The greens are slow and bumpy. The bunkers have a lot of rocks in them and are inconsistent.

I hear that the course can be windy but the day we played we had almost perfect weather. The course is in a nice setting without the intrusion of too many houses.

I would play this course again and beats the price of other courses on the Monterey Peninsula.

Laguna is nice and fun

Solid track, not as exciting as some of the other mid-tier courses in the area, but well-kept and overall a very satisfying experience.
