The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch
About
The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch (previously known as Salinas Golf & Country Club) in Monterey boasts a reputation as "the friendliest club in the area." Opened in 1925, it's also known as one of the area's oldest clubs though they are loathe to label themselves as "traditional". The golf course sprawls across rolling countryside dotted with mature trees and the occasional water hazard. Originally opened as a nine-hole layout, the golf course may appear somewhat short at just over 6,200 yards from the back tees but don't underestimate its level of difficulty. It's a tight layout that demands accuracy, especially when navigating the small greens. There is plenty of variety at The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch, you may even find yourself using all the clubs in your bag. The golf course finishes with a stunning view of Salinas Valley from an elevated tee. The fairway slopes downhill to a well protected green guarded on the left with trees and on the right with bunkers.

Good shape, perfect greens
Course was in good condition, greens were in fantastic shape, pretty fast. Pace of play was great for a Friday 12:30 tee time, foursome in less than 4 hours
Crazy Horse
The course is fun to play. The staff in the clubhouse and restaurant are always very friendly. Can’t beat the price for such a great course.
Good test
Finally got a chance to play this course. Perfect yardage for me. Course layout requires accuracy off the tee and into the greens. Greens were in great shape with consistent speeds. Will definitely be back!!
Riding through the Club at Crazy Horse Ranch
It’s a good course that gets a lot of play. I thought one hole had an unfair layout extremely sloped left-right and the greens were very fast, with extreme edges were the ball would fall off if you’re above the hole. Can’t imagine how fast this course gets in mid-summer. I understand the course defensive setup. I enjoyed the round with my newly acquainted playing partners. You definitely need course knowledge to navigate this track. Luckily, one of them has played the course a few times. Thanks for the enjoyable day!!
Clean and toasty
This course is best for intermediate golfers and beyond who enjoy hitting their targets with some forgiveness on fairway width. Greens were well manicured, while driving range was very sandy making it difficult to hit a clean practice shot.
Great course
I love everything about this course. Very well kept up from t’s to fairways to greens::,which I hope one day figure out! The bunkers have quality and fairly easy to get out of.
The pro shop always polite and friendly. The restaurant staff the same. Great lunches and breakfast burritos!
Very welcoming GC.
I will keep coming back!
Hidden gem in Salinas
Good course layout, in good condition. Friendly staffs. Good pace.
Another great day at Crazy Horse
The fella in the golf shop very polite and friendly. Young lady in restaurant this morning very polite. Breakfast burrito fantastic.
The T boxes excellent . Fairways excellent . The greens are killing me. One of these centuries I will figure them out, but fantastic. I love that you can actually see which way the grass is laying!!!!
Pace was excellent.
This is my 4th time golfing this course. Have never had a bad experience. They are very welcoming!!
I’ll be baxk
