I had only played this course once before, easily 15 years prior and what a treat it was to return. We trailed the leaders by 10 shots after day one and when I saw the wind , healthy rough and small greens , it got exciting as I knew this was going to be a challenge. The course although not very long was set up fair but difficult. Greens were in fabulous condition,very slick downhill;and the side hill putts demanded your attention. Plenty of room to hit the ball;but certainly a premium to be in the fairways, bunkers are well placed and a hazard , very well manicured, was only in a few but drew a good lie each time. Several traps were either new or under construction, the care and preparation for the course was well thought out. I used every club in the bag and am glad we got to experience such a great course. Kudos to the team taking care of the grounds.

Poor layout. We had balls flying at us many times because the fairways are so close together. Maybe it was a worse experience because no one told us it was cart path only and one of us has a bum leg. They did give us a blue flag which allowed us in the rough on the cart path side. Staff is very friendly and try to be accommodating.

Nice course. Cool weather. Tough greens until you know them

Course is in excellent shape, greens are so perfect they are exceptionally tough to get the ball in the tiny holes. Great fun!!

It was a nice but frustrating day on the course.. I played with two nice ladies who were so slow and inexperienced on golf etiquette. Putting out of turn, standing in my line, chatting Loudly while taking a shot, after hitting there shot walking in front of me while I’m trying to take my shot. One gal didn’t break 130 and the other 110. I certainly don’t mind them being a beginner but please take some time to understand the rules and being aware of the basics.

I had a blast at the course, it was the day before The Monterey City Championship were to start. The course was in great condition and the greens were smooth and quick. The weather was beautiful as well.

This is a very lovely golf course and is in great shape. The sand traps have really soft white sand that you would expect to see at Pebble Beach. There are lovely trees, some changes in elevation, and fairways and greens are in great shape. Playing early on a weekday, I was able to finish in 2:20.

Pace of play was slow. Back up of 3 groups on every par 3. Otherwise, great fun to have played this course.

SHUT UP when I'm on the Tee. Got paired with a Threesome. Talking when I'm on the Tee. Disrespectful.

I played the day before the Monterey City Championships and the course was in beautiful condition with the greens being a little bumpy but in great condition. Hats off to the greens keeper for getting them ready for tournament play. .

Seems EVERY TIME I get paired with people, they have NO ETIQUETTE, People, SHUT UP when I'm on the tee and putting. IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
