Great course - well worth the money!

Nice course for beginners and/or the advanced players. Usually play Laguna 2-3 times a month. Recommend having breakfast in their restaurant. It's good, cheap and service is quick. You won't be disappointed.

Greens need work

Have played Laguna Seca about 4 times in the past two years. The greens are in pretty poor shape. This time they were recovering from being aerated but they also are very lumpy due to several different types of grasses in the green complexes. We got a special price of $29 from Golf Now which made it very cheap and enjoyable in spite of the conditions.

First Time Playing

This course was fun and fanstatic

My first time playing Laguna Seca, I thought it would be a bit pricy. However with the GolfNow deal it was doable. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. The range was wide open my only hit would be the flag placements were not written on the flag boards. The course was in great shape. I had a blast , I started as a single then joined two gentlemen and had a ball playing with them. The course is easy to get around and fun to play. I can't wait to play it again when I come back up from Temecula.

Needs a lot of work

Overall the layout is nice. The condition is lousy - ESPECIALLY the greens. I've played here 6 or 7 times and the greens always look like they were plugged a week ago. Very very bumpy. Lots of piles of dirt and muddy spots all over the course. The fairways should be stripped. The thatch is so thick it's like walking on sponge in spots. The traps are like clay, even when bone dry. I doubt they've ever been properly maintained.
I won't be back to play as there are far superior options in the area.

Great Course but not the Greens

The only negative with the course was the greens. They were long and looked like they had been aerated several weeks before.

Fairly priced for the local

Overall we liked the course. It was not crowded and fairly priced. The only disappointment was even though the greens were punched 10 days ago, they were very slow and inconsistent .

Hidden gem on Monterey Peninsula

This Robt Trent Jones course is a must play if visiting the Monterey Peninsula. Condition is not quite perfect because of drought conditions in California, but very playable and enjoyable. Price-wise it beats Pebble, Spyglass, Spanish Bay by hundreds of dollars! Best played in AM as it can get quite windy in PM, especially in summer. Nice views of surrounding hills and valley. More difficult than slope/handicap suggests!

Uninformed of greens being sanded and punched

No mention on website that greens had been punched and sanded. Mens restrooms on course were in terrible condition. They hadn't been cleaned in months and showed terrible neglect. Score card isn't accurate compared to tee box tee coloring. Website is at best marginal in terms of providing accurate information about the course. No pictures of the course with hole-by-hole pics and descriptions. Many other courses have accurate descriptions and that helps the above average golfer manage their game. Golf carts don't have GPS.

terrible manager response to aeration complaint

I have played this course fairly regularly for years using golfnow.com and I have to say it is a fun course with a nice layout, usually in average condition.
The reason for this bad review is based on the fact that yesterday I showed up with a pre-paid deal bought a week early to guarantee a threesome only to find all the greens aerated and totally unplayable.
When I told the manager I was disappointed, his response was that it was golfnow's fault and that we should feel lucky to have paid $25 because it was a great deal. I told him that I agreed if the greens were playable, but that I thought I should at least get the $12 deal given to the fourth person who was added to our group. He totally dismissed me saying if I were a member he would be able to help me and why wasn't I a member? This kind of bad attitude and disdain for someone he thinks is getting too good a deal continued. I say don't be on golfnow.com if you don't want that business!!! And don't treat us like a bunch of bums.
I will have a real hard time going back there no matter how good the deal and and I will tell people not to be surprised at being considered a second class citizen by a management with no customer service ability.
P.S. I called golfnow.com and they handled the problem perfectly and immediately. Thanks for the great website and service.

Greens need attention

The course is great and challenging, the greens need attention, there are a lot of weeds on the greens changing your put direction as it hits the bumps and bare spots. I have played here before and the greens have been way better.

Great course

The course layout was fantastic, you had to use every club in your bag. I loved the way it made you think about every shot before you pulled out your driver and just bombed away. I would recommend that if you are in the area play this course. I will be recommending this course to my golf club for our away tournament.

Fantastic golf course, every hole has a wow factor. You have to stay engaged or the course will penalize you. After SJO, best course I have played on in Northern Cal so far.
