A Monterey Peninsula undiscovered gem!

I have played this course many, many times over the years, but, wanted to review the nice condition the course is currently in. RUN right now to play! The fairways were in beautiful condition and the new cart paths recently added are very nicely laid out. Also have added a GPS system to the carts. The greens are still glass fast and hard and could use a little work, but, once you get use to the speed, you will do fine. The course is very friendly for the new and experienced golfer and provides a challenge for club selection. If I had one complaint it would be the changing of the locations for the white tees. It has shortened the course considerably, so, for the more experienced golfers, I would recommend playing the blue tees. Overall, a fun day will be had for all at this beauty!

Fun course at a reasonable price

The staff here is great. The course is open and mostly forgiving....... there are a couple of holes that are a little rough around the edges, but overall it’s a fun course at a really fair price!

Lots of waiting

After the first 2 holes we had a waiting period of 5 minutes or more per hole. Up ahead about 4 groups......there was a 4-6 person group golfing together causing a backup. After the first 9 holes we called it quits. Took us over 2 hours to do 9 holes!!!

A golf marshal would be nice, as we saw men just slowly walk off the green when 2 groups behind them were obviously waiting.

Hello, Sharon. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and provide us with your feedback. We would like to offer our sincerest apology for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Monterey Pines Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Good place to play

Excellent conditions on the course. Bring some layers, it gets chilly when the sea breeze kicks in in the afternoon.

Good sand in the sand traps.

Had beginner in front of us for 4 holes which took forever, but they peeled off after that and the pace was fine.

추천함

공항 바로 옆이라 항공기 이착륙시 소음이 있으며

코스 길이가 짧은 점 외에는 방문할 만한 곳이라고 적극 추천함.

페어웨이는 잘 정리되어 있으며 그린은 빠르고 아주 잘 관리되었음. 평일이라서 진행도 뺘르고 지체되지 않았음 . 프로샵에서는 골프옷이 반값 세일중이어서 살만했음 . 시간여유 있으면 바로 옆에서 드라이버ᆞ치핑ᆞ 연습도 가능함

지불액 대비 가볼만한 곳으로 추천함

프로샵 남자 스태프는 친절함

Fun Course

This course is fun to play. Pro Shop staff is friendly and knowledgeable - same for cart staff and Starters. The course is lush and kept in great condition. The newly finished cart paths brings it up a notch and has become my favorite “go to” course on The Peninsula.
