The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch
Rating Snapshot
About
The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch (previously known as Salinas Golf & Country Club) in Monterey boasts a reputation as "the friendliest club in the area." Opened in 1925, it's also known as one of the area's oldest clubs though they are loathe to label themselves as "traditional". The golf course sprawls across rolling countryside dotted with mature trees and the occasional water hazard. Originally opened as a nine-hole layout, the golf course may appear somewhat short at just over 6,200 yards from the back tees but don't underestimate its level of difficulty. It's a tight layout that demands accuracy, especially when navigating the small greens. There is plenty of variety at The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch, you may even find yourself using all the clubs in your bag. The golf course finishes with a stunning view of Salinas Valley from an elevated tee. The fairway slopes downhill to a well protected green guarded on the left with trees and on the right with bunkers.

Wet weather
Even though it was cart path only, we enjoyed the round. Nobody else out there, so pace of play was nice. The staff found a club that was left in the ruff, and drove it out to me. It wasn't mine, but that was a nice gesture. Even greeted me by name, classy.
Perfect day at a fun course
We caught a perfect day in Salinas (72 degrees, light breeze) at Crazy Horse in December. I really enjoy the variability of the layout along with the generally excellent conditions of the course, it really feels like a private club experience.
It's a bit of a drive from San Jose, but definitely worth it as compared to the alternatives either in cost, pace of play, or conditions.
Great freaking track
All I gotta say Is the greens are amazing and talking to some members they say they get better cant wait to come back
Great layout , some challenging holes
Had a great time .. some challenging holes and some scorable holes .. like the course a lot …
Fun course, but....
This somewhat hilly course is kept in very good condition and the greens run true. They aren't crazy fast, but fast enough. There are some blind tee shots. Distance from greens to next tee are close, which I like, but a couple are too close and there are two greens so close it is downright dicey. Getting on my cart I was almost hit by someone hitting toward the par 3 green next to us. Not only that, you have to turn around and drive back toward the par 3 tee, so you're driving right atl the next tee. If there's someone on the tee they have to wait for you to get to the tee or you have to go off the cart path and get well out of there way. Probably the quirkiest green to tee situation I've ever seen. The only thing I would add in terms of negative, and it's an easy fix, would be signs indicating direction to the next tee, especially in that quirky spot, but a few other places as well. They have a very decent practice area, including chipping green, driving range, and putting green. Overall I enjoyed the course and would play it again with a hot deal. I'd hesitate to pay more, but if I lived in Salinas or close by I would definitely sign up for a membership.The restaurant area was pretty nice, and although I didn't eat there, a member told me the food is good.
