Great shape

This course is always well maintained, has been known to get very crowded on good weather days. The layout is basic, and the course is pretty flat, especially the back nine. Overall a great course for beginner to intermediate golfers.

Windy weather

Used cart

we won't bother going back

The course was pleasant enough, but the fairways are very narrow. It is not very scenic, and the greens are kind of weird. There is a minimal snack bar there, so nowhere to hang when you are done with your round.

Mediocre Golf in Monterey County

I was hoping to find an alternative to the expensive golf choices throughout the Carmel - Monterey area while on vacation. Unfortunately Monterey Pines is not the answer for anyone with a handicap of 16 or less. Slow round of golf (5 hrs if you’re lucky), a beginner’s course similar to an “executive” course, with average conditions. 2 to 3groups backed up at most holes throughout. Maybe this was all because it was a Saturday, but I’d rather pay higher rates than play here again.
