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.

Perfect day at a fun course

We caught a perfect day in Salinas (72 degrees, light breeze) at Crazy Horse in December. I really enjoy the variability of the layout along with the generally excellent conditions of the course, it really feels like a private club experience.

It's a bit of a drive from San Jose, but definitely worth it as compared to the alternatives either in cost, pace of play, or conditions.

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!
