Quail Lodge & Golf Club

We booked a special birthday round for a foursome and looked forward to the normally great conditions at this course. Unfortunately we were told after checking in that that greens had just finished being punched and sanded TWO DAYS PRIOR. We told the staff how disappointing that was to hear and that there was no warning listed on the Golf Now site about this when we booked the round. The reply from one of the staff was one had played (after the aerification) and they were "rolling pretty well". That is the overstatement of the year in my world! The greens played like freshly punched, sanded greens. Soft as putty, and as bouncy and untrue as it gets.

We would have never paid for an expensive round of golf on freshly aerified greens, and always look for this kind of thing when using the Golf Now system. Most courses list this up front but Quail Lodge did not. Perhaps an oversight, but we feel taken advantage of. Looking today it looks like it's now been added to the site (for future bookings) so the staff must have passed the word along. Too late for us unfortunately. :(

As always with every time I have played here, conditions were impeccable. Haven’t played any other course with comparable conditions. Customer service is always first rate as well.

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)

Enjoyed the perfect day, great weather and great greens.

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.

Absolute hidden gem in Monterey/Carmel area and totally worth the visit. If you love golf, your in for an absolute treat!!

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.

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!!
