Monterey Pines Golf Club

Playing golf during the spring time in Monterey is truly a beautiful thing. With all of the world renowned courses in this area, with Pebble Beach being the elite, this is one of the best values you'll find. This course has all the practice and warm-up amenities you'll need. The pace of play was unbelievable. I was playing by myself at 10:30am in the morning with 2 holes empty in front and behind me. I was shocked it wasn't busier. The course was in great shape, however there was a lot of sand on the greens. There was a beverage girl who saw me three times from start to finish. I was impressed by her work ethic. If you have a chance to play in this area and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars playing one of the more well-known courses, I highly suggest playing at Monterey Pines. The staff was very friendly, and it's obvious the grounds team works hard to keep this course beautiful. I can't wait to come back.

The course was in good shape. The greens had recently been punched so putting was difficult but such is life since it is highly needed to keep the green’s healthy.

The course is very short but fun. Used my driver 3 times. Accuracy, however, is key.

The group ahead of us was a little slow, playing tees way over their head.

Recommend playing. Great place for honing in your irons.

I would not have paid the price that we did if I had known we were not able to play the FULL 18 hole course. We did a double round on the front nine. They work hard at keeping the course really nice, I appreciate that but GOLF NOW should have posted that it was under upkeep or given a better price. I like this course very much.

This course is extremely well maintained and the course layout is fun and challenging at the same time. It is a must play if your in the area.

Nice layout, very good condition and fun aftenoon. Only criticism was the 5 hour pace of play for a par 70, 5500 yard track. Please!

The course was in fantastic shape. The greens were rolling quick and smooth. The breakfast burrito was delicious and a good value. Staff in the pro shop were very helpful and friendly. This is the best value in the area for golf.

Horse was in good shape. Peso play was great. Look forward to going back again.

Nice round today. We had 7 birdies total between the three golfers.

The only thing I didn't like was that they do not accept Cash. You have to use credit cards only at the whole course.

Played Monterey Pines yesterday and 2 days ago. Despite all the recent rain the course was in great shape, no water puddles or soggy fairways. Most bunkers were dry and well sanded. Greens were damp but true. Given a few more dry days and this will be the best public course value on the peninsula for those of us who don’t have 100’s of dollars to splurge on a round of golf. I’d put this course on a par with Pacific Grove and a great alternative when visiting Monterey.
