Slow pace of play

There was no one out on the course controlling pace of play. A threesome, playing multiple balls and not well caused multiple groups to quit after nine holes. I was a single player, paired up with two others and they quit as well after nine. I enjoy this course but the pace of play was ridiculously slow.

Great value

This course is in good shape, lots of water and plenty of sun has made this time of year a great time to golf! The improvements made over the years to the cart paths and restrooms is much appreciated!

Slow play and ugly greens

The green were punched and no one advised us of the conditions. Play was extremely slow… we had a 1050 tee time and did not tee off until around 1110. Then we had to wait at every hole, some holes we had up to three groups stacked up!

Course was unplayable should’ve got a refund

It’s not very happy with GolfNow. Don’t know if I would use them again. The course was unplayable had nine holes open and still had to pay premium price should’ve been able to get my money back course was unplayable may have to start using golf moose was not pulled at the golf course only was going to have nine holes open, and that we would have to play the same line back to back real disappointed with GolfNow. My friends were real disappointed that I wasn’t told that course was not gonna be playable. Not sure what you guys can do for me. But should’ve been told about the golf course situation before I was able to book

A Tusday afternoon

Front nine greens were punched so we could only back the back. To windy for my taste that day. Food service needs an upgrade no salads available a limited menu.

Great shape

This course is always well maintained, has been known to get very crowded on good weather days. The layout is basic, and the course is pretty flat, especially the back nine. Overall a great course for beginner to intermediate golfers.

we won't bother going back

The course was pleasant enough, but the fairways are very narrow. It is not very scenic, and the greens are kind of weird. There is a minimal snack bar there, so nowhere to hang when you are done with your round.

Mediocre Golf in Monterey County

I was hoping to find an alternative to the expensive golf choices throughout the Carmel - Monterey area while on vacation. Unfortunately Monterey Pines is not the answer for anyone with a handicap of 16 or less. Slow round of golf (5 hrs if you’re lucky), a beginner’s course similar to an “executive” course, with average conditions. 2 to 3groups backed up at most holes throughout. Maybe this was all because it was a Saturday, but I’d rather pay higher rates than play here again.

Hidden gem

What a great layout with plenty of challenges. This is a good walk on a beautiful old school course. Definitely welcoming. I’ll be back
