Great time

This course is short and has great greens. We play irons only from the white tees and it's the same challenge you would get from a par 72. It also helps the ego when you shoot lower numbers.

Great value, good course for novices to intermediates

This course is shorter than many of the other courses in the area, but still provides a good experience. By no means an executive course, it offers some tough holes and some forgiving ones. Accuracy is rewarded, and absolutely required in a couple of cases. Great prices for 18 holes with a cart can be found, making this a great value. Course is mostly flat, so walking should not be a challenge if you desire. Worth trying.

Greens need a redesign

The only flaw of this course I have are the greens which I once considered to be the best outside of Pebble Beach have now gone to trash. Half of them were still rolling really well. However I found crab grass on some of the greens which is disturbing considering this course for its value I loved. I hope that we can change these beloved greens. Also the cart drive to number two was ugly because all I saw was weeds. Considering Monterey is a top golf destination worldwide, I believe you should put some poppys or sunflowers to freshen the course up at least. Does not take that much money folks. All in all just those improvements and this will become a top notch course to bang your buck.

Playing the Pines

Lucky for me I'm at two younger golfers who are local. Course knowledge is important because the water that comes in the play. He also help me with club selection. I scored in the average score on the course I've never played before work because of this.
