Loved this course
I loved this course. Two completely different set of nines; flat valley nine and mountainside nine. Many elevation changes, great views and many challenges. The course was in very good condition during our round in April. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Very nice Clubhouse and Pro Shop.
Great course
Excellent course, excellent conditions. Staff was friendly and helpful. If you haven't played it it's a must play when in the Monterey area.
Pleasant resort course for the whole family to enjoy!
I was delighted to get an opportunity to play this course. Its a short course but offers plenty of challenges. Narrow fairways and water hazards will force you to layup at times. Water level at creeks are high so always stay on the better side. Keep an eye on signs to next hole you can get lost and watch for trees along cart path.
An amazing course
My buddy and I had the privilege to play this course a couple weeks ago. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the course was in amazing shape given the massive amount of rain in the weeks leading up to us playing (this was the Wednesday before the 2017 pro am in Monterey.) The only slight negative we had was that our cart broke down during the round but they had a replacement to us in under 10 minutes and by the time we hit our next shop the guy had moved all of our stuff to the new cart and we were ready to keep going. I can't recommend this course enough, and we can't wait to go back.
Take advantage
This is a beautiful private course in the sun in Carmel Valley California .
Very nice layout wonderful conditions great pro shop service inside and out. nice driving range included in your green fee.take advantage on last-minute golfer when this offer is available .
Unique layout
From views to river and lakes on the front to oaks on the hills on the back this course makes you think but isnt overly difficult. I would have hit more irons off the front nine par fours of it wasn't my first time. The greens can have breaks and are kept fast
Find design by Pete dye at Carmel Valley
What a buetifuel design just about 10 miles from the Monterey peninsula. The resort is absolutely amazing from the time that you drive in to the resort. The whole setup is absolutely remarkable and the inn and golf in ammaculant. The buetifuel clubhouse and well spoken staff is great.
The course has buetifuel rolling fairways and deep rough and rolling greens. With buetifuel 65 degree weather the whole round was very fun! I thought the hillside was very buetifuel and the trees was great. They reccomend that you walk on the course and I would definitely reccomend walking instead of riding in a cart. The rocks and buetifuel setting and sunset down the stretch was great.
The food in the clubhouse was great and off course amenities are absolutely great. Overall the setting and the buetifuel course ties it all together as a buetifuel resort.
Great Value - excellent conditioning
The course was a bit soft in some fairway spots due to recent rains, but the greens were outstanding. Course conditioning was superb, including the bunkers. It's a quirky layout, but it makes good use of the geography to take you around the valley and gives beautiful vistas. No two fairways look the same. Visual treat. It is a resort style course, so it does not beat you up too bad as many Dye courses reportedly do. Very generous forward tees for the gals, too, so it would be great for a mixed group. Homes don't encroach on the fairways too badly. Overall, I was sorry when the round ended, which is always a good indication.
Nice course, would return
CVR is a nice golf course. Our round was a little odd as they had a frost overnight after a rainy week. As a result, they had us start on #15, which was odd.
They made the mistake of sending out the groups as quickly as possible, instead of keeping 10 min intervals, so pace of play was bad. It was also cart path only, so a lot of walking back and forth. Just over 5 hours to play...
The course was overall in nice shape. The greens were nice and had a good speed to them. You can tell they are young, but will grow in nicely.
I would go back and play, but would not be ready to pay their rack rate.
Definitely worth a round...or ten.
Interesting, fun layout and in real good shape. Shorter course requiring accuracy.
Enjoy the Carmel Valley.
How can you go wrong with a nice course in the beautiful Carmel Valley? You can't. The front nine pretty straight forward and fun with the back nine featuring several elevated tees with spectacular valley views. Look forward to playing it again.
Nice scenery
Front 9 nice enough but the back nine up in the hills makes you want to come back
Carmel
Love playing there, the back 9 especially. It has some beautiful elevated tees
Laguna Seca,has great view and is challenging, however the greens are terrible
Thanks for the feedback love your reviews to
Thanks for the review Keith! Please don't take this wrong but I would recommend using spell check for the benefit of you readers. You've written some great reviews but they are a bit difficult to read. Buetifuel is spelled beautiful by the way. Awesome that you enjoyed CVR. It's one of my favorites. Next time you visit the Monterey area check out Laguna Seca!
