Relaxing
A great way to get in a quick nine . Course is in good shape. The young people working there are terrific.
great to practice short game
Love to come here to practice my short game the times i play is great no waiting to hit shots greens are well taking care of great practice area too staff very friendly
Quick 9 or 8
If you want a cheap, short, quick 8 or 9 holes of golf, this is the perfect place to play. There is often 1 hole closed for the use of the students Monday-Friday. I'll pay the $12, but don't think it's worth $25.
Fun course.
Greast greens but challanging fairways in some areas.
Great for beginners!
I am a beginner level golfer and this short 9 hole course is perfect for me and for beginners like myself.
Great little course
My son and I like too walk in the area and always see the course
I thought let’s try it. Great 9 holes, good iron and wedge practice
Course in good shape. Nice to see the first tee program in play.
If you want good course for a quick 9 it will do the trick. Played 9 in 1 hour.
Better than expected…
For a public course, everything was pretty dang good. The only thing that I didn’t like was the bathroom facility. There was a shower and and old moldy chair in there that kinda creeped me out…
Was fun to play with no pressure!
Was a fun to play this 9 hole course. Excellent course to practice your swings, no pressure to get moving, and greens were in good shape as was the rest of the course. They are working on surroundings, much better and feels very safe.
great way to practice and improve
I have played this course 4 times during the weekdays. It's not open on weekends. Although it's an executive golf course it's a great little course to walk about 3 miles. It's well maintained in a nice area of Salinas. I've been able to play 2 balls without having to worry about other golfers on course. Several holes have elevational changes with enough variety to pracitce distance control and shaping shots. I will be coming back regularly to improve my game.
