Quail Lodge & Golf Club

Great conditions but found pace of play sadly slow.

We have played Quail several times and enjoy the lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens. Played from the tips this round (6 handicap) and found several holes long but a fun challenge. Not crowded at all and pace of play was good. Our only complaint is that Edgars, the restaurant, doesn't open until 11am so don't count on having breakfast or even coffee before you tee off in the morning. Quail offers a "country club" experience as it should at this price. Also Quail Lodge is a great place to stay for a Carmel Valley vacation.

Things you will appreciate how green and well maintained the course is. The location is beautiful. Its nice and quiet, open course design with out the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.

It’s always enjoyable to play this beautiful course. Not being wealthy, I appreciate the hot deals that occasionally bring this course into our price range. We grabbed one this weekend, and headed down early to fight the Bay Area traffic to the Monterey Peninsula. Upon arrival, we normally just check in with the starter. But I headed into the clubhouse to buy some overpriced sunscreen. The 3 staff members saw me, but they were commenting on people at the driving range and did not turn around to help me for a few minutes. When one finally turned, she didn’t say hello, but told another to help me. He did, but he seemed to be having a grumpy day. No smile, no welcome, no hello. This is not the first time at Quail the staff has been poor at customer service. There was also no drink cart on the course, which was disappointing. Nonetheless, the marshal on the course was very good; he kept the pace going and it was a truly enjoyable round. We’ll be back (for the hot deals), but we will make sure to have all we need (including sunscreen) so we can avoid the pro shop and just check in directly at the starter.

Flawless from the tee box to the green on every hole. Not super long but it fits the layout of the land.

My sister and I enjoyed this pristine course surrounded by beautiful mountains. The staff was attentive and gracious and the course was both challenging and enjoyable. Now a new favorite and strong recommendation not to miss during your stay in the Monterey/Carmel area.

The course was in immaculate condition, no two holes the same, the bunker's challenging, greens neither fast nor slow,, perfect condition, not tricked out. More resorty than tournament caliber. Breakfast delicious, nice pro shop, not a single bad thing to say about this place and the views make it all worthwhile

Course was in excellent shape with a lot of fun holes, especially on the back nine. We will return and definitely recommend.

I have played this course about 6 times. The conditions of the fairways and greens has always been excellent. The course is fair, not over bunkered and moderate in difficulty. The only thing is that the greens are pretty boring. They are basic "table top" mid-size simple greens.

The course is well maintained all around. Nothing to find negative about this course. I will be playing it again sometime soon.
