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.

Excellent round

Couldn’t ask for a better day! The staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Fairway, tee boxes and greens all in excellent condition for this time of the year. Pace of play was perfect. We are looking into joining this wonderful golf course.

Over sanded greens

Overall this course was good, but they had just punched the greens and they applied way too much sand. Also it should be noted when booking that the greens had just been punched and sanded.

Great Experience

An old fashioned design that is certainly refreshing. The course stretches out in front of you and invites you to 'come get me.' More challenging than it first appears.

Greens couldn't be any better. Fairways are excellent but some kikuyu grass in the rough that can be difficult to deal with.

Staff was professional, helpful, and friendly. Pace of play was unbelievably fast.

Highly recommend playing this golf course.

Great day at Crazy Horse

From begging to end it was a great experience. Booked on Golf Now for 3. Asked if we could change to 4....no problem. Asked if we could go just a bit later....no problem. Pace of play less than 4 hours and we took our time. Course was in fantastic condition. Greens were extremely fast but sooo true. I loved it. So much so I entered a team in the Italian Tournament even though I'm not a member. Lastly Matthew in the clubhouse was just about as professional and friendly as anyone we have come across before.

Tough for beginners

Very small and unforgiving greens, almost impossible to keep your ball from rolling off. Well kept course and plays pretty short. Beat the wind and get out early.

Great find

Super staff, great pace of play, fun layout, small greens set up a nice challenge on both GIR and up and down par saves. Greens tended to be on the hard side prior to aeriation but they were quite smooth. I will be back soon!

I liked it!

Booked through Golf Now Hot Deals. It took much longer to get there due to 101 traffic issues & was a little late. Staff still got me on (thank you) & I finished in less than 3 hours. Course is in great shape & I thought it was an interesting layout. Would be interested in coming back.

Super Golf course

The three of us are all over 65 and play once a week. The Golf course at Crazy Horse is both fun to play and challenging. Fairways are well kept and the greens fast but fair. We played with another 65+ and finished the round in less than 4 hours..Well kept and fair..

Very good value in Salinas

Staff very friendly. Course was in very good condition, considering the shape of other Northern California courses in this drought condition. A number of blind shots and uncertainty how to position the drive on various doglegs makes this a challenge for anyone who has not played the course before. Look forward to my second outing now that I have familiarity with the layout.

This course has fast greens

Course is in very good condition. The greens were fast especially downhill. The course is hilly with a lot of uphill and downhill shots. It is challenging but fair. Need to hit the ball straight as some of the fairways can be tight.

Great golf...in Salinas?

This course is in great condition, friendly staff, and not overly crowded. We played in 3 1/2 hours and never seemed like we were being pushed.
For the money, I would pickm this course over most of the courses in the Monterey and San Jose area.

Nice overall course.

Course is in very nice condition from tee to green. Fairways were surprisingly very lush, green and smooth throughout. Greens are on the small side but are in nice shape and roll true. Staff was very professional and friendly.

Track has some fun and challenging elevation changes. I Didn't have a particularly good round but I'll be back for sure!

Crazy Horse golf

Was a great experience. Course was in excellent condition on all 18 holes. (if only I could control my shots) Areas you expect to be taken care of were in fact well maintained.
Weather was excellent and to play here is a good choice.
I will be back
