Pristine Worldwide

Easily my new favorite golf course. This was the first course I played in Carmel and the experience was exceptional. Very friendly staff and the complimentary pyramid of range balls before the round is a great touch. Course conditions and greens were immaculate.

This isn't a cheap course

With that said it is forgiving and a fun play.The groundskeeper should get major KUDO's for the way he keeps the grass looking perfect even in winter.Just a magnificent green all throughout absolutely amazing and greens fast but not brutal.Simply a beautiful course in ammaculate shape.....very enjoyable all around

Wonderful experience

I drove all the way from the bay area to play. This is a great golf course with pristine layout, meticulously groomed fairways and very fast greens. Weather was perfect and the staff was great. I loved every hole

Gem of Carmel

Course was in excellent condition with pristine greens. Sand bunkers were in great shape. Only negative was the course sold no food or drinks on Wednesday! I think a course of this caliber should have food and drinks available daily.

Absurdly well-manicured and criminally underrated

Played here twice on a vacation, had only planned on playing once but had to return. This is just an immaculate golf course. Relatively short and not exceedingly difficult, with really nice views of the valley and nature. But these greens, fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes are just perfect. I was blown away at the quality of this course. The greenskeepers here deserve a raise and then another raise. It would be a good value at $250 if they wanted to charge that. Of the public courses I've played, only Pebble and Spyglass beat this one in terms of course maintenance.
