Slow play

My 10:20 tee time ended up being an 11:30 tee off. I had prior obligations that required me to be off the course by 4pm. My 10:20 tee time would've done that with no issues but my now delayed tee time only allowed me to play 16 holes in 4 1/2 hours which is extremely unacceptable.

Great Little Track.

Monterey Pines is a really fun course to play. It is not crazy hard, but it does have several very challenging holes. The recent renovation of the home hole from a par-4 to a par-5 was another really good change. Despite all the recent rain, the course played fast and firm.

Crowded

10:20 tee time ended up being a 11:30 tee time. I had prior obligations to be else where by 4:30pm and it was 3:50 pm when I had to end my round only allowing me to play 16 holes. I truly feel I didn't get my money's worth and the only good thing about my experience was the delicious club sandwich served from the bar and grill restaurant on site. All in all this has been my first golf experience to date.

A Pleasant Surprise

We came to Monterey to attend the golf tournament and found another reason to return this summer.
The friendly staff set up our two threesomes with a great pair of singles who gave us some insights on the idiosyncrasies of each hole. While the tournament was being postponed due to high winds, we were able to complete the entire round with pleasant conditions! The course played fairly, good shots were rewarded and poor ones hurt. The greens were manageable and fair as well. Green fees were better than reasonable , especially for this area. Looking forward to a return visit during the summer season.

Good value

Course continues to improve. Nice job recovering from the recent heavy rains. The course receives heavy play and in some ways reflects it. Multiple unprepared pitch marks on the greens and divots in the fairways. Aside from that , the greens are smooth and fast. Though short in length, it provides a good but not overwhelming challenge for golfers of all abilities.

Great visit, good golf and challenging

I can only say that my wife and I really enjoyed this course, we were paired with a couple vets who were real gentlemen and great company, we had a great time. Greens are hard to read (after all it was our first time there)

Over all it was a great time

Good course, Great staff

The course was well maintained and dry considering all the rain. Staff was super attentive and informative but not overly in front of you. Very enjoyable round.

System down

Arrived at 11:40 for 12:04 tee time and was greeted by fairly rude pro shop clerk who said.system was down, hour wait on first tee, literally 10.groups lined up on first tee. No way to finish 18 holes I said, talk to starter was clerks reply. We decided not to play at all as clerk could not find our reservation,not to mention we asked about youth on course and was again rudely turned away
