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 course for an afternoon round. Very limited public tee times. The course is fun to play, with wide fairways and big greens. The only draw back is that the tee boxes are too close to the green you just played. Lots of "fours" on this course.

Love the layout

Great course tucked away. Greens, tee boxes, and fairways were in great shape. I wish they had a yardage book or course map because there are quite a few blind shots. Felt like I was guessing. Will be back soon!

Not friendly staff.

We went to the course little earlier than our tee time . I asked the guy in pro shop to get on earlier, but he said no. Nobody teed off for a while. We could tee off. Then, no cart was available. I asked him to bring the cart. He said it was busy in the morning, so we will bring carts soon. He just said that without trying anything.

Punch green without notice

I would like to request a refund for my round. Golf Now has done a great job in the past of giving notice or punched green before booking a round. Unfortunately there was not notification and the conditions were terrible. The course is usually great to play, but very disappointing to come to the course to find the greens punch without notification. If I would have known I would have booked a round at a different golf club. The greens were like hitting from bunker. Absolutely terrible. We found out of the conditions at check in and by that time it was too late to book another round.
