Awesome Course, Views!

Played here on 12/22...course was in perfect shape. Plush fairways, fast smooth greens, even tee boxes. My favorite course by far (under $100).

Excellent golfing experience!

This course is spectacular and worth the effort to get there if you’re considering a trip to Monterey. Fantastic scenery, fun layout for golfers of all levels from if playing from the correct tees, and meticulously manicured from the tee boxes through the greens. I only wish I lived closer so I could play more often. You will not be disappointed.

Great Course All Around

This is a super course that is a blast to play. Located inland, you are guaranteed to find some sun. Course conditions are fantastic right now (as they generally are). Fairways are immaculate as are the tee boxes. Greens are great as well. Greens roll super smooth at a nice fast pace. Most greens have a modest slope that make them very manageable.

The greens were a tad on the firm but nothing too bad. The layout is a blast with water hazards on the front (flat) nine and a lot of elevation changes on the back nine.

Great pro shop and clubhouse with full locker room services and restaurant.

Staff is great all around.

Excellent conditions, helpful and friendly staff

Since it was the first time I played the course, I had a lot of questions, many of them being elementary . The staff took an interest and in answering them fully. The starter, Anthony was particularly helpful. The course is in great shape, I consider is a challenging and scenic course well worth the price to play. I will play it again.

Challenging brown tee

It is par 70 short course with less than 6200 yards from the farthest brown tee. But if you want to play at the brown tee you should be more than a good player since there are quite many holes with visual threat from the back tee. Overall course are greatly maintained but brown tee boxes in first 4 holes are quite challenging and dangerous to hit near or over the car and people passing roads.

Great golf in Carmel Valley

The course was in outstanding condition - all aspects of the course was perfect. The only issue was that the pace of play was rather slow.
