Greens are pure

Short course but don't let that fool you. Still have to hit good shots and the greens might be one of the best on the peninsula.

Great Course

The fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Although the course is a bit shorter than most, it's still a challenge for one of my meager golfing ability

Monterey Pines

This course has great greens. They roll true and surprisingly fast. It's a short course, par 69 but has its challenges.

Well worth playing.

My wife and I came down the Monterey for the weekend to just hang out and play a round of golf. This course was in great shape. The greens were fast. The employees where very nice. Definitely would play here again.

Fun course!

Challenging for an intermediate golfer, but enjoyable if you don't mind airplanes taking off overhead. Front nine much more fun and picturesque . Golf Now rates super but $17 for a ride along is just plain gouging.

Good Value for the Money

This is a short but fun course. We teed off at 12:20 and finished in 3 hours. Course was in good shape although the greens were recently sanded they all rolled true.

Nice!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our round at Monterey Pines. We were a twosome behind a very slow foursome but the weather was PERFECT and we very much enjoyed playing a shorter course. Short but with plenty of challenge, at least for us. We will DEFINITELY play this course again when we are in the Monterey area!

Monterey Pines

A great course to play if you want to feel like a pro. a shorter course that enables you to be able to reach the greens in regulation, with good shots. And then again, has challenges that prevents you from doing so. Had a career best 78 there, and also have shot 92 .
Course is in great shape and the staff is super friendly. Good driving range, clubhouse/pro shop and dining area.

GREAT for military sine it is a Navy course and they provide super military discounts. Even as a civilian, a great value!!

Nice course but short

The course was like a muni course but very short,there were a couple interesting holes but nothing that would possibly make me want to drive that far again for.If it was your backyard course sure it would be ok to play to practice on,in good condition,greens ran fairly well and the carts do have GPS.It is right next to a jet runway and also on the other side the fairgrounds so noise could be an issue for some...I don't really care though I listen to music when I play.
