I have played here for the past few years when visiting. I like the course and price however they always over book and play is slow and frustrating. Takes the fun out of playing at an otherwise nice course.

Hello, Denny. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please be assured that 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. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Monterey Pines Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Great Cond’t.

Monterey Pines is in great condition. With the addition of concrete cart paths they have put time and money into the fairway and green conditions along with perfect sand bunkers. The only drawback to the Pines is the No Cash Policy.

It is in great shape

Monterey pines was nothing special for years. I grew up here. That aside, in the last couple years they have put a lot of energy into the greens, bunkers and cart paths. Its a great luttle course now. The price is great as well. You can walk 18 holes for 15 bucks.

Check it out!

Please speed up play

This is a fun little course that is always in good shape. Greens are always consistently good for as much play as they get. My complaint the last few times has been the pace of play. This course should never be over 4 hours, let alone 4 1/2. There are just too many people and they play way too slowly. It used to be that even on a slow day, you could play Mry. Pines in 3 1/2 hours no matter what. Not any more.
