Great first impression

This was a pleasant first experience starting when I arrived at the clubhouse. The pro shop informed me that my reservation was for the next day, as I had made a mistake when I booked it. They were very understanding and kind enough to get me out on the course about the same time I had booked anyway.

I rented a cart and we started play around 1:30. It was so pleasant that I never had to wait on any hole. Great pace of play to enjoy a really nice day on the course. The fairways and the greens were in fantastic condition. Everything was lush and green and well maintained. I wish courses would get back to having ball washers on the tee boxes but this is yet another course that has done away with them. That was my only complaint though. The paths were great all over the course and the signage was also clear and easy to follow around the course.

We played our round in less that 3 1/2 hours and we were a foursome, so pace was really a pleasant factor for our round. The course is a bit short which was fun as there were a couple of drivable par 4's but still had 3 par 5's to challenge your fairway woods. The par 3's were challenging with water on a couple of holes as well to make things interesting.

Overall I really liked this course and I will look forward to returning to play it again.

Awesome Food, Nice Staff

The pre-game BLT on sourdough bread with coleslaw and French fries was delicious! Really nice staff at the clubhouse. The weather cooperated and there was very little delay at some of the holes. We joined up with another twosome at their invitation but our round was still at 5 hours....and we are not slow players. The Ranger was very nice, even applauded one of my drives towards the end of the round.

Great condition

Played on 7/21/23 in the afternoon. Slight breeze and sunny. Course was is great shape, fairways very nice and healthy with a well mown, but thick rough. Greens were in very good shape and run faster than expected. Some holes had tee boxes moved up as there were repairs going on with back tees. Pace of play is decent, but can get slow at times as there are many singles and twosomes being held up by slow foursomes. More than a few high handicappers on the course the two times I played recently. However, well worth the patience as it is a well maintained course with very reasonable green fees. Golf carts have GPS and it is nice that it is not a cart path only golf course. Note that this is an easy course to walk. Practice facilities are better than most local courses that are much more renowned. Grill is a good place to have a bite before or after a round and there is ample inside and outside seating. This is a nice, unassuming gem of a golf course that should not get overlooked.

Exceeded Expectations

Was able to get a HotDeal through GolfNow and boy did that end up being a fantastic deal! This course may not be that long (under 6,000 yards) but it’s still a challenging & fun course, and the greens are just as nice as other more prominent courses in the area. My buddy and I had the good fortune of getting paired with a couple of friendly & good golfers, one who of whom had a lot of experience with the course. We definitely will plan to play this course again when we have an extra day in Monterey!

One of the best values around.

Course conditions are very good. The pace of play on weekends is slow so go in knowing that.
