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.

Challenging course with fast greens!
Played this course a handful of times, so still getting familiar with the nuances of each hole. Course knowledge is definitely a plus! Although the greens are small, they are definitely fast and challenging. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. Been waiting a long time for public access to this course! Highly recommended!
Great older track
This golf course has been around for some time. Tree-lined, short, tilted fairways with tilted, small and very fast greens. If you tee'd off with fairway metal-woods or even long irons it still would be a very good test.
Most excellent!!!
The course is in great condition. Greens are speedy and roll true. It is not long, but plenty long if the wind is up. Very friendly staff and members....
Best Golf Experience Ever
This course is so awesome. The greens are better than PGA West or The Olympic Club. Super fast and a fun course. What really made this round stand out was Bill in the Pro Shop. I have been golfing for 35 years since the age of 5 and he was the friendliest starter I have ever encountered. As long as they continue to allow a select amount of public tee-times I will be back. I made sure I told the Pro what a great experience my foursome had, I believe his name was Rod. He was also an awesome dude. Can't wait to go back.
Best course in area
Best golf experience in sometime. Bill in the pro shop was the nicest guy ever. Greens were better than all courses I have ever played. That includes The Olympic Club and PGA West. I am going to spread the words to all my friends.; I can't wait to go back. These guys know how to run a country club. They are not pretentious at all. Love em'
Incredible value
The weather had been horrible the day before I played and the course was very moist but very playable as well. The greens were wet but consistent and true. I hope to get a little more distance in drier conditions next time there. Will play there whenever I can for the rates offered on GolfNow.
ft. greens like glass.
I think people play one time ,they WILL come back. I know I will be back.
Beautiful course. Very fast greens. Friendly people.
Salinas is a beautiful, well manicured course. The greens are super fast but roll true and consistent. Nice older clubhouse. Friendly staff and golfers. Play was soft because of all the rain lately so we had some difficulty with fat shots because the clubs carved through like butter. Overall, was a great day!
this course is not long but requires a great deal of accuracy
course was in spectacular shape even after 5 days of rain greens were super fast and incredabully firm
The course has scenic views of agricultural fields and the hills surrounding the area.
The course is truly a hidden gem. Do not be mislead by the yardage, the course is hilly and most of the holes play longer than listed. The greens were incredibly fast even after having some rain over the last day or two. The course is extremely well manicured and a complete joy to play!!!
First time I played Salinas Country Club, it did not disappoint, course was a good challenge and in great condition.
I enjoyed playing Salinas Country Club, the course was in great shape. Fairways well kept and greens were also in great shape. The Course is set in the middle of rich farmland with great views of tended fields. I felt like I was on an oasis playing golf with good friends. Service was excellent, staff friendly and accommadating. Can't wait to play there again.
Challenging and fun
Although shorter in length than the modern day designs, this course will require precision shotmaking to hit the small greens and a precise short game to get up and down on the slick greens. The greens were flawless and rolled true and rewarded a well struck putt. A good course to work on strategy and ball placement to be in position for the next shot. Lot of fun thinking your way around this track.
Very well-maintained and superb sandtraps.
This course is a country club and is very well-maintained. I was especially impressed with the great condition of the sand traps, which had real, fluffy sand. The cart paths (concrete) were wide and made getting from point to point very easy. The staff made me feel as if I were a member. Classy place.
great short course
a little hard to navigate the first time you play because there are no hole layouts on the card or tee box. the greens are really nice and true but small. the course is hilly and fun but short, the staff are really friendly and overall i would play it again.
Nice people, okay course
Fairways are very narrow with big trees, which presents the biggest challenge on the course. Several blind holes. Distances not well marked. Staff is very nice, and all facilities are available for use with the golfnow time (restaurant, etc.).
