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.

Much praise!
Great great course. Super friendly at check in. Great warm up facility. Love playing this course. Highly recommended!
Great layout , some challenging holes
Had a great time .. some challenging holes and some scorable holes .. like the course a lot …
Crazy Horse never disappoints!
It’s been a while since I played here and I don’t know why we don’t come here more often. I had an additional question/request and the pro shop staff was extremely nice and accommodating. We played as a 2some with a 4some two groups ahead and still finished in 3 1/2hrs (on a Friday afternoon!) Course conditions were good, greens excellent. Great value for the price…a true hidden gem. We’ll be back soon…thank you!
Fun course, but....
This somewhat hilly course is kept in very good condition and the greens run true. They aren't crazy fast, but fast enough. There are some blind tee shots. Distance from greens to next tee are close, which I like, but a couple are too close and there are two greens so close it is downright dicey. Getting on my cart I was almost hit by someone hitting toward the par 3 green next to us. Not only that, you have to turn around and drive back toward the par 3 tee, so you're driving right atl the next tee. If there's someone on the tee they have to wait for you to get to the tee or you have to go off the cart path and get well out of there way. Probably the quirkiest green to tee situation I've ever seen. The only thing I would add in terms of negative, and it's an easy fix, would be signs indicating direction to the next tee, especially in that quirky spot, but a few other places as well. They have a very decent practice area, including chipping green, driving range, and putting green. Overall I enjoyed the course and would play it again with a hot deal. I'd hesitate to pay more, but if I lived in Salinas or close by I would definitely sign up for a membership.The restaurant area was pretty nice, and although I didn't eat there, a member told me the food is good.
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.

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.
