Monterey Pines Golf Club

Short on length but long on conditions. This is a great course to work on irons and short game. Greens are in excellent shape. They roll smooth at a nice fast pace and hold well struck shots. Fairways are also in great condition. Very lush throughout. There are a few areas where the storms have taken their toll on the course but those areas don’t affect play.

Pace of play was extremely slow but it was a rare sunny weekend so you can image everyone was out playing. Myself included!

Despite several weeks in a row of brutal weather in the bay area, the course was in excellent shape. Aside from a few low areas on the course that are now small, temporary lakes, the course played fast and firm with very few mud balls. The greens are in very good shape. I am also a huge fan of the fairly recent change on 18, changing it from a par-4 to a par-5.

Course is in great condition currently, greens are quick and well maintained. Plays a bit short but a very fun course and definitely worth the price.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had a fun round. The course was in great condition and we finished in less than 4 hours.

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.

Took us 3.5 hours to play nine holes , but overall it’s a good course

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

It was relatively dry for the amount of rain we've had they always keep the course in excellent condition and they seem to always improvements going on. It's a fun course to play.
