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.

Nice greens
The best greens available. Challenging elevation changes. The tee boxes can be tricky, print a course before you begin.
Nice place to play
The staff are very friendly. The course layout is nice. There are some tee boxes that are close to the green that you just finished. If the course is full, this will slow the pace of play.
The fairways are wide, not too much bunkering, and the greens are very consistent.
Good value.
Fun and friendly
We played behind a club tournament, so the pace was slow. If things were different, you would definitely play there as often as possible. Once you learn the layout, your pace and enjoyment will go to five stars.
The staff was very friendly. This is a Club that allows some public access.
Well maintained course with beautiful greens. The tee boxes are a little close to the green you just finished..
Restrooms on the course are nice. I will play there again the first chance I have.
Best course I've ever played near Hollister
I have been curious about this course. It was a 30 min drive from my house. As I got to the course, I was quickly amazed of the course look. I didn't know this course is semi private. Thank you golf now for allowing me to play this course. The practice facility is super nice. Just make sure not to go far left on the first hole because it would be in the driving range area. The condition of the course is perfect, I would say probably one of the best course I have ever played and my favorite course near my area. I was playing solo the first 6 holes. I love the layout of the course, it can be challenging. Every hole is unique and fun. Then joined another golfer. He played it couple times and was able to give me advice on most of the holes. I would definitely bring my friends to play this course again! I had tons of fun!
Great Golf Course
Love it, becoming one of my faves.
My son and I love playing here!
Great day, if a little windy
I'd played Crazy Horse in the past, but stopped playing when they went fully private. I was recently pleased to discover that I could play there through GolfNow. It was a great day for golf, except for the high winds. Still, we got around in just over three hours and I had a lot of fun doing it. There are a couple holes there that are my nemeses, so I want to go back and try and beat them again. Totally worth it.
Beautiful course with bit of everything
Played here for the first time Saturday the 16th and it was a bit cold and windy but we managed. We loved the condition of the course. Very well kept, the greens were great, a few were a bit fast and caused a few 4 putts. The layout of where the next hole is does get a bit confusing at times but the beauty of the course and pace of play all made up for it. Will definitely being playing this course at least 4 times a year.
Perfect needs work on 4
This is a fabulous course, maintained, with spectacular views. Played on sand-coated green varying in thickness. But I understand that is an expected inconvenience and trade-off for wonderfully groomed surfaces to come.!
Has anyone hit a drive in-bounds, left enough NOT to roll off the 4th fairway?. My drive was straight down the left edge and still rolled off. Hope a fix is in the plan.
With that exception, the rest is laid out with varying elevations and some nicely cornered legs. I'll be back to check on 4!
