This course is in excellent condition

A great day on the links! The fairways were in excellent condition, the staff very friendly and the pace of play not bad considering a fair amount of golfers out to beat the rain. Definitely will be back.

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.
