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.

Overall great play at the discount rate

Nice weather at Salinas and great course condition.

BTW, you need to know that there could be huge dust cloud come from the neighboring farm at hole 10 from time to time.

beautiful short course

this is a perfect course for seniors with the tips being just over 6,000 yds. I enjoyed playing it very much with lots of hills and valleys. The grounds are impeccable and the landscaping is very well done. Amazing to come upon it among fields full of strawberries and other produce being grown in the area. My only criticism is the size of the greens. They reminded me of pitch and putt courses, with the width of some barely 30 feet - tiny is a good description. It was an enjoyable Friday afternoon with the course basically empty, which was great!

Country Club Conditions

Was very excited to try this course for the first time. Boy was I happy I did. The practice facility is excellent. Chipping area, bunker area, grass range and large putting green. The men’s locker room was very clean with thick towels to dry your hands. The greens are small, fast and roll true. The fairways are well maintained as well. It’s not long but it’s still a good test. Will test your driving accuracy, iron approach game, short game and putting skills. It’s a fair test. Rewarding accuracy and providing penalties for being out of position. It reminded me a lot of Castlewood in Pleasanton. The on course restrooms were super nice as well. Like a bathroom you would find in a persons home. Country club play with public access. Will definitely be going back!

So disappointing

My wife & I had to go to her jeweler, in Aptos, Ca. My bright idea was to play somewhere new & different than our usual Monterey golf courses. Found Crazy Horse GC on golf now for $100/player. They had no electricity/power for clubhouse, bar or restaurant. Front nine was fantastic, everything was going smoothly until hole 10. 10-12 were closed with just a sign on a golf cart telling us to proceed to hole 13. No explanation or warning when we checked in. Ruined a promising round of golf.

Beautifully maintained

Got a hot deal for this spot but I could see myself paying the normal price for the condition of the course. No one was really on the course so pace of play was great. Happy with my experience.

Crazy Horse crazy Good

This is one of my favorite courses. Never too windy or too crowded. Currently, the greens and fairways are in the best shape. I’ve seen them in a long time. Thoroughly enjoyed our around here.

Green way beyond the greens

Very well maintained course, green beyond the tee boxes, fairways and greens. A pleasure to move around with nice views all the way to Big Sur mountains. Course not too challenging yet interesting terrains. Rather hard to lose a ball. The restaurant with white table cloth facing the 18th hole is often busy, so probably worth a try. Cart is included, most players ride.

Excellent experience

Course was in fabulous condition. Had a slow group ahead of us on the first nine but they let us play through and it was great after that. Challenging course. Love it
