Reviews
One of the best muni Courses in Monterey County
Great time no waiting perfect Friday afternoon on the course my only negative is what’s with the café stop there after nine all closed up found out they close at 3 PM makes no sense to me
Fair and challenging
A good mix of easy and difficult holes. It is easy to walk. Very level fairways. The pace of play can be slow. It is always crowded. Afternoons are not as bad.
Average layout with nice bent greens
Tee boxes could use some work, we were one of the first groups off, the fairway and green mower must have been behind us, there was dew everywhere. The fairways and greens are better than average considering the price to play.
Good value
Nice experience starts in pro shop with friendly staff- very accommodating. Course is pretty forgiving, being level. Wind does present some challenges, especially on back nine, as some par 4's become effectively par 5's for many of us. Greens are well maintained and roll pretty true. For me a fun course to play.
Course condition
The course is in great shape. I appreciate the hard work the maintenance crew exhibits everyday.
Good golf find
I had always seen this course on Golf Now since I moved to the Monterey area but I had never played here .
I was glad men friends from the area convinced me to come and try this course .
I was very pleasantly surprised by the condition of this muni course, from the tees through the fairways to the greens it is well kept and has a good variety of holes to play .
The staff in the pro shop has always been very helpful and the rates are very affordable hear .
Fun course to play.
Had a good time. Met some very friendly players. Price was just right. Plan to return again.
Fantastic and friendly
Great day. The gentleman in the pro shop comped me a bucket of balls since I opted not to take a cart. Great customer service. Best greens I’ve played in a long time. Will be back
Salinas Fairways is Fun
This is a wide open driving course. If you drive well, then this is a course where you can score below your index. Greens were good but very wet. The restaurant had the grumpiest employee I have come across anywhere in a long, long, time. My friend and I met to have breakfast before the round . I ordered French toast, he ordered a burrito. We were told there was no syrup and no salsa. Huh? This is Sunday morning!
Great place to tune in your shots
At 6800 yards from the white tee's, this is a great course to practice your approach shots fairway woods if needed. Always a bit windy on the back 9, but still forgiving and relatively open. The front plays a little tighter and is more technical than its counterpart.
Great muni
Been playing here for over fifty years. The greens are always fair and sometimes pro quality. Fun layout
Fun
The course is in great shape, Fun layout where you can hit and go.
Fun Course to play.
The course is in good shape. The wind made the course a real challenge to play today.
Awesome
Playing partner and I had an awesome round. Could not believe the greens and how true they were. Groundskeepers are doing an awesome job
