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.

This course is in great condition from tee to green.
Fairways were nicely groomed and the greens were playing at a fast speed.
Great day
4some drove from san jose 1 hour each way. Well worth the drive. Best round in years on many local courses. Pace, weather, conditions, facility, all EXCELLENT..
What an awesome golf course!
The conditions have improved dramatically since the new owner took over. Everything was in great condition. Small greens and fast!
Will definitely come back. The only disappointment was the bar/grill was closed.
What a nice find!
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the course conditions were. Greens are small & fast. Very nice layout with lots of ups & downs. Will definitely return.
Good challenge with elevation changes
Near Salinas and Monterey. Great layout. Private course with early afternoon tee times. Lots of hills and trees. Can get windy. Some tee boxes are a mess, so 4 stars re: course conditions. Nice restaurant, good driving range. Friendly people.
Pretty Good
Nothing really amazing about this course. Its perfectly solid. To me, its a $50 course, so felt a lil overpriced at $70 w a cart. Everything was fine though. No complaints really.
We had a wonderful round of golf yesterday.
The fairways were in fine condition. The managers behind Crazy Horse should help guests by having good information in detail how to navigate the course.
The course track is pretty neat !
However I think the prices could be lowered especially with the greens aerated. Fairways was in good shape but the greens were not anything close to being ready to play on
Warm Sunny Busy Day
Staff very cordial.
Very crowded day due
to first warm sunny day!
Greens are very fast and in
nice condition. Course in good shape too.
Busy but still good
First time out at Crazy Horse and the course was good and in very good shape. Had a late tee time and got stuck behind very slow players. Multiple groups on 1 hole several times in the round but no marshal in sight to speed things up. The layout is exciting on the front 9 with doglegs and elevation changes to challenge you, back 9 is old school flat and straightforward but enjoyable. I’ll be back with the hope that play moves faster!
Quiet setting and nice conditions
Crazy Horse offers a great combination of solid conditions and a quiet setting just outside the hustle and bustle of the big peninsula courses.
Staff here is always friendly and the restaurant usually stays open until the last golfer is off the course (or longer). Layout isn’t super long for those bombers out there but the fairways are pinched in just enough to put a premium on accuracy but wide enough to keep the average golfer in play.
Right now the fairways are a bit damp but better than others in the area. Greens are a tad on the firm side but roll smooth at a perfect medium fast pace. Bunkers had absolutely perfect white fluffy sand in them.
Pace of Play is generally very acceptable here often under the 3 1/2 hour mark or less on weekdays if you catch it just right.
Definitely a recommended course when in the Monterey Peninsula especially if you want to catch a round on your way in or out of town.
Good course management challenge
Great value, near the Monterey Peninsula. Elevation changes and doglegs. Need to be patient to score well. Fun restaurant. Private club, but they release a few tee times per day on Golf Now. Similar to nearby Laguna Seca Golf Course.
