The First Tee of Monterey County

Greast greens but challanging fairways in some areas.

My son and I like too walk in the area and always see the course

I thought let’s try it. Great 9 holes, good iron and wedge practice

Course in good shape. Nice to see the first tee program in play.

If you want good course for a quick 9 it will do the trick. Played 9 in 1 hour.

For a public course, everything was pretty dang good. The only thing that I didn’t like was the bathroom facility. There was a shower and and old moldy chair in there that kinda creeped me out…

Was a fun to play this 9 hole course. Excellent course to practice your swings, no pressure to get moving, and greens were in good shape as was the rest of the course. They are working on surroundings, much better and feels very safe.

Having played this course for the first time I was very challenged with good greens and some very challenging holes. My only complaint is that the maintenance of the tees and fairways was lacking, I mostly noticed the tees hadn’t been mowed in over a week. I was a greens keeper years ago and notice everything but I guarantee you that my wife and I will play here again and bring friends. Not sure if they have a regular greens keeper or volunteers but surely enjoyed the course

I have played this course 4 times during the weekdays. It's not open on weekends. Although it's an executive golf course it's a great little course to walk about 3 miles. It's well maintained in a nice area of Salinas. I've been able to play 2 balls without having to worry about other golfers on course. Several holes have elevational changes with enough variety to pracitce distance control and shaping shots. I will be coming back regularly to improve my game.

Great 9 hole course for the price, we paid 20bucks for 9 holes, no one else was out but my party so whole course to our selves. No one to rush us, greens were being airrated so it was 2putt once u got onto greens. Fairways good condition, only 3 par 4 holes, tees were in great shape. Except for homelessness camps, great spot for walking.

What a great little course! Fun to play but it’s not very long, and I still found it challenging. The par 3’s are good with only one short pitch. The course is home to first tee, and this is the real deal! My money for the green fee goes towards helping these kids and you can’t spend any money better than this! They could charge $100 and it would be a good deal. I’m coming back, because our city needs stuff like this for our kids!

25 dollars (plus 4 dollar "convenience" fee for using their app) for 9 holes is absurd. They clearly have no motivation to be an actual public course. Can't blame them, the course is already paid for by tax dollars.

Was happy to see the course is back open. There is no food & beverage, but Safeway is around the corner- just remember to bring your own snacks and water! Great customer service- the staff was very friendly and helpful. They did change the layout, so the new #1 Tee is the old #7, made it fun to go back out and play!

This is a short nine hole course with multiple tees so that you can play it twice using a different tee for the second half. This is the teaching course for the junior golf group. It’s a great course to take kids.

Great for working on the short game although there are two holes where you can hit a driver.
