Good Conditions

Love this course and the layout. They are enhancing several holes with new lengthened tee boxes. Greens in excellent shape and traps have good quantity of sand in the bunkers. Seeing a built up of divots in the fairways that could be fixed if walkers had access to sand bottles. Looks like a large portion of play is with walkers.

Beware of Navy Police

The navy police prey on golfers without front license plates. Ends up being a $230 ticket. Golf course is relatively easy but still interesting, very fun and well kept but coming back to a yellow ticket put a damper on my experience.

Looking good

First time playing here in a while.

Looks like #4 was lengthened by about 20-30 yards

#8 looks like they might be working on extending it

#18 has a new tee box about 50 yards back.

The scorecards don’t include the new additions.

Overall the place was lush, the greens rolled nice.

Would like to see them keep better pace of the people playing. It’s a 4 hour course tops

Monterey Pines Review

Great course providing good value. Staff friendly. For walkers who would care to repair divots, stand bottles would be helpful. Nice upgrades have been made to the course over the past two years. Added new cart paths, repainted exterior of shop and restaurant, presently extending length and new tee boxes for several holes. I have missed somethings but have observed the commitment to quality and capital improvements. Course is in great shape.

Busy/ cart availability issue

Overall good experience. Was a beautiful day and as such, was very busy. They were having difficulty with keeping their carts charged, so I had to share one with a stranger.

Locals course

As far as the course goes it's well kept and the greens run true and are pretty good considering the amount of play they get. Fairways and tee boxes are in good shape. The only complaint I would have is that it's a locals course, meaning that they cater to the regulars and go out of their way to accommodate what ever they want at the expense of other golfers. Don't be surprised if your tee time is moved, after check in, because some regulars want to get off early. This has happened to me a 4 or 5 times. I've had to wait up to 30+ minutes from my booked/ paid time, I can read a starters sheet on the 1st tee and know what's going on and excuses given by starter are always nothing less than insulting.
