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.

Love this golf course!
I almost always book as a single and end up playing with some great folks. The staff is awesome and I just really love playing here.
Crazy Horse
Great place to play. Usually nice weather and friendly staff. Pace of play doesn’t back up and the course conditions were great!
Members Course
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.
Great value for the money!
Great layout, pace of play, and a friendly atmosphere! I definitely recommend if you're in the Monterey area.
Hidden gem!
I really enjoyed my round. Conditions were terrific and I found the course to be fun and challenging.
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!
Quality
Tournament quality no question incredible good condition really enjoyable golfcourse beautiful buildings super friendly staff it was really pleasure to play here
9/10 just because no signs to find the holes
Crazy Horse
Crazy conditions post tournament, the course was wide open and there were no holes that were not in great shape. Loved it!
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.
Great golf
Had a great time. Would like to see a ball wash station & a map for the holes on the score card.
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.
