Great Course in Carmel Valley

Very good golf course. Weather is always a bit warmer than Pebble Beach weather.

Only limitation is practice range hitting limits between 205 - 220 yards (Short Driving range)

Immaculate Conditions

Got off about an hour late due to a frost delay but had a wonderful round. The course is in perfect condition and is a lot of fun. Played the round in a little over 4 hours, teeing off at noon. The atmosphere was that of a private club but still felt fairly welcoming for resort/day guests.

Quail Lodge

Rode the Blacks (6464/71.3/128) in about 4H, 15M with Matt, Ron and Justin twilight. Bright and chilly with a slight breeze most of the afternoon.

Classic Robert Muir Graves par 71 design. Beautiful, tree lines layout. I thought the layout was very good but not great with 18 solid holes of golf. However, the playing conditions were great overall.

Tees lush and near immaculate except for todays divots.

Fairways lush and very well maintained with few unfixed divots. Looked like carpet.

Rough lush and well maintained. Just deep enough to make you think twice about longer clubs.

Sand was thick and excellent quality, very well maintained.

Greens had been recently punched with small tynes that IMO hardly affected the way they putted. Quick and smoother than you would think. I thought I saw the lines well but consistently played too little break. You better not be above a few of the pins on several holes, #4 comes prominently to mind.

Customer service excellent, saw the drink cart several times and the starter was on the ball and informative. Carts had nice GPS and there were numerous restrooms on the course. All grass driving range with complementary balls was a plus, however it topped out at about 200 yards. Really solid course, highly recommended.

PRISTINE

I recently got to play Pebble, Spyglass and Spanish bay

Those courses were really awesome and The history and beauty of Pebble was indescribable

That being said- Quail Lodge was honestly the most immaculately maintained and groomed course I’ve ever played. I almost felt guilty hitting balls off the fairways as I didn’t want to damage the grass. Haha

I was paired up with a local member who was really helpful and polite. So that was a big help

The pace was pretty good on the front but slowed a lot on the back. I was a little concerned with the snobbish attitude I read about on a couple reviews, but everyone I spoke to was very polite and professional

Can’t wait to play it again On the pricey side for sure but worth it

Definitely in my top 3 all time and I’ve played every where

From Hawaii to Arizona and other countries

So if you get a chance? PLAY IT!!

Need to enhance features

There’s no cart person and the snack bar was not open. With the quality of the course and price it doesn’t make sense not to have everything open!

Great overall condition but pricey

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.
