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.

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

rolling hills

I like this course. Every hole is either up, or down. Very playable, but you need a cart. Fairways are wide, not much OB. The tee boxes are close to several greens, so yell "four" if you have hooked your approach shot.

Great Shape

The course is in great shape from tee box to green. I played on a Thursday as a single and completed the round just under 3 hrs. Wish it could be like that all the time!!

Club at Crazy Horse. Top Notch

Crazy Horse Ranch Golf Club was an amazing experience. I am an avid golfer in the bay area and usually faced with lack of amenities, so so customer service and lack luster course conditions despite the continual increase in course prices. Crazy Horse had it all. Excellent staff, amazing course conditions, great food and amenities for guests. The only negative I can truly give is to myself for never visiting this course prior to yesterday. Top notch facility.
