Very interesting course

We looked at the score card, distance from back tee is only 6100. But it’s very challenging to play, not to mention there are two holes that need to hit 200 yards carry to pass water hazard. This course has different challenges on different holes. Condition is very good, staffs are very nice. Also you may want to come early to practice at the range- it’s all grass and included

Staff and director of golf are terrible.

Played here as part of our honeymoon we were greeted by the staff with a “what do you want” after they were busy talking for 5 min while we were waiting. Someone who started with an L was somewhat standoffish and acted like he was better than us for some reason and someone with a g or a c first name was the worst. Save your money this resort is not the best Monterey has to offer. You deserve better, as we found out the next night staying in a Carmel inn and just playing any course we wanted.

Carmel valley ranch

The course was in excellent condition but the pace of play was terrible. The Marshall allowed a five-some to tee off ahead of us and it backed up the entire course. On the fourth hole we had 3 groups waiting to tee off.

Pristine conditions, awesome design

What a course. Awesome layout and design. Perfect conditions. Fast greens. A shorter course that plays more difficult than you think. You have to plan ahead each shot. Very fun and I will definitely be back.

A real gem at $125

Excellent conditions from tee boxes to the greens. A wide variety of holes with some incredible views on the back side. One weak par 3 but that’s my only gripe (besides not being able to play before 12 noon if you’re not a resort guest). Waited a long time to play here and can’t wait to return. Kudos to the entire team at CVR!!

Back Nine Is Special

Fun course but the real pleasure is the elevation changes and special views on the back nine
