Great Value for the money

I don't play much golf I have only played 3-4 times this year. I have a background in golf but it has never been one of my passions. I enjoyed the course. I left early as the weather was getting a bit chilly and I was tired as I don't play much golf and I was walking. It is great exercise and I don't generally walk that far or for that long. I was almost around in 3 hours and I started at 4 pm. The green are generally in good shape and they are a decent size for a shorter course.

Early morning golf

This course is in very nice shape. It's a short course , but still requires some thinking about club selection. It plays fairly calm in the morning, but as the day goes on, the wind picks up and it can be a little breezy, which can add a little difficulty.

Overall, prices being what they are on the Monterey Peninsula, it's a pretty good value

Escape the Bay Area heat.

Came to Monterey to escape the heat of the Bay Area and knock the rust off the golf game. The course froim tee to green is in great shape. Speed of play was at a nice pace. Finished in a little more than 4 hours, not bad for a foursome.

Fun Course for Average Golfers

Staff is great!! Course is fun to play. May not be challenging for single digit players but was fun for us. Only real problem is a couple of fairways are next to Monterey Fairgrounds so if functions taking place at Fairgrounds, 1 maybe 2 fairways closed to avoid slices and hooks into people at fairgrounds. Otherwise, no problem. Fairly easy course to walk.

Monterey muni

Basically a muni course in Monterey. Greens are nice and roll well. Very short from whites. Recommend playing blues if you are less than 15 handicap. Mats on range. Decent little chipping area.
