Very Enjoyable golf

I have played Laguna Seca many times before writing this review. However, I wanted to do this because of the conditions of the course. Right now, California is in the 3rd year of a pretty extreme drought, and I expected Laguna Seca to be in poor condition because of it. However, I found just the opposite. The fairways were beautiful and the greens were great. They are not letting the rough grow too high but the grass in the rough presents enough of a challenge that you don't want to go there (as it should). There are brown and dried out places but those areas are definitely way off the fairways and you shouldn't be in those places anyway (at least you shouldn't try to).
The staff, especially the pro David, are happy to see you and make your time getting through the details easy so you can get out there and play.
I would suggest riding a cart because the walk up both 9 and 18 is steep but the rest of the course is very walkable if you must.

Nice no fog area, most of the time

Enjoy playing, players ahead (3) were very slow on the greens. Playing from the back tees, should have Been White. Just our opinion! Did make us wait at every hole. Good time anyway.

Love this course

Played Laguna Seca Golf Course on 7/29/14. A very good test of golf, challenging, but fair. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in excellent condition. Bunkers were raked, and had plenty of sand in them. It is and has been one of my favorite courses for many, many years. Always look forward to play here.

the course has a GREAT lay out

I like all the down hill up hill shots the course makes you do. The greens are great and make you struggle to get par. It is just a fun course to shoot on.

Good features

Some tough holes like no. 9. Course has interesting holes. Conditions are good, although some strange grass is starting to creep into the greens. Otherwise greens are very good.

Best bargain in Monterey area

Always enjoy the unique layout. Plays depends on your skill for the day. Play conservative and have a good day. Aggressiveness does not get rewarded.

Lots of sun, lots of sand, lots of fun

Great course if booked through now.com. I paid $39 to ride 18 and it was a great value. There were a lot of bunkers but the sand was raked beautifully and made it almost fun to get out of. The course wasn't as green as it could've been but I know this area is in a drought so it's understandable.

I'm a 10-12 handicap most of the year and shot an 81. Fun course to play.

Layout

Good course but layout is unsafe. Alot of places where you can get hit by golf balls and play can backup causing slow play. Tee boxes very close to last hole approch shots. Very strange , and unsafe with hackers on course. Beware!

The course need to be re-design !

The course is in bad shape! Fairways are brown and In horrible condition ! The drought must be affecting the conditions of the fairways because it looks like it is not being watered and dead spots everywhere along the course.

Hope this helps!

An old favorite

Great course. Some hard, some not so hard. Good variety. Many elevated Greens or Tees. Almost always one of each. Watch out for 15, you think you're safe, but then there's another "feature" that takes your ball.
