The pines

Fairways and greens were in terffic condition. The staff is warm, inviting.. make you feel like a vip. The pace of play was a little slow but this could be because the fairways and greens were allowing us to drive and putt out of our minds! Can’t wait to play again next week.

Course in great condition..... Fairways in excellent shape and greens are great. There was one hole they are working on the tee box in the back nine that turned a par 4 into a par 3.

Easy Peezy Stress free golf

Played here on a Thursday morning, the place was empty although a foursome of old vets went before me and I had to skip a hole to get pass them. The fairways and greens were nice as usual. Some of the tee boxes were pretty beat up. Not to be picky but this morning they had plenty of hoses with little sprinklers turned on all throughout the course which was a nuisance. Some sand traps were very wet and some really nice. Short course but great to practice your irons and putting.

Great round at MPCC

Had a enjoyable round at Monterey Pines. The pace was good and finished in 4:15. Greens are in excellent shape and the course is in great shape. Can't beat the $30 price for this gem.

Best Golf Value in Monterey County

Small but fun course nestled between the Fairgrounds and the Airport is in excellent shape.

Greens putt true, traps are pure and fairways have improved. Yesterday’s hot deal was $20 with a cart. Front 9 played fast back had to wait on the tee from 12 on. Product of a green fee that allows you to play as many holes as you want.
