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.

Not friendly staff.

We went to the course little earlier than our tee time . I asked the guy in pro shop to get on earlier, but he said no. Nobody teed off for a while. We could tee off. Then, no cart was available. I asked him to bring the cart. He said it was busy in the morning, so we will bring carts soon. He just said that without trying anything.

Wet course and bad experience

We were told we played ourselves when we checked in. However, one guy joined. The guy was bad golfer and he did not think other people. He made noise all the time. Also, cart path only made inconvenience to play.
