Fun little track

This is a fun track to play, in nice shape too, the greens roll true and offer a bit of challenge. The pace is a bit slow, but hey, your golfing so it's all good.

Tell us when greens are punched

There was no notification on golf now or at Monterey Pines that all the greens had been recently punched. I'll know to ask in future, but some notice would be appreciated after driving an hour each way to find lousy putting surface.

Love Love this course

From the minute you enter the pro-shop to check-in the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is obvious they take great pride in the course. We asked one of the grounds keeper about some construction going on around the course and he gladly explained the changes being made. I would go back there anytime, and I will.

Greens

I have been playing at this golf course for several years. The overall condition of the course was pretty good but the greens had just been punched and it would have been nice to get a heads up.

Great value!

Staff was friendly and courteous from the beginning. A snafu with our reservation was straightened out and we received a better deal. Course was excellent and challenging to our handicap level. A gem in the Monterey Bay. Thanks again Monterey Pines!

A bit slow

The pace of play was a little slow. We were a threesome and caught a foursome in less than three holes. At about the fifth hole a Marshall showed up and said he would say something to them and the proceeded to drive in a completely different direction. The pace never picked up and it should never take 5 hours to play a par 69.

They did a good job rebuilding the Monterey Pines GC. Relatively short but very firm greens. Nice layout and a lot of fun.

Gem in Monterey Bay

Great facility in Monterey. Track isn't the longest you'll face in the Peninsula however it's very challenging for the novice golfer. Excellent conditions, manicured fairways and greens with some character. Had a local join our twosome and was quick to provide his course knowledge. "Come on Roger!". Best bang for that hard-earned buck!
Get out there and play.

Enjoyable course

I liked playing on this course, because it is not very difficult if you play on fairway, but eventhough it is not boring. It is perfect for intermediate and beginner golfer, they can also enjoy it. It is lokated close to a small airport but it was not disturbing.
The staff was very kind and helpful.
