Carmel Valley Ranch Resort
Played On 09/16/2018Excellent Course but Horrible Pace of Play
The back nine is a gem with drastic elevation drops and some blind shots. The course is fair for all levels with the back tees being less than 6,200 yards - so the course was not too long. The back nine took 3 hours to play and everybody was a twosome. No ranger or other course management. We would finish a hole and the group in front of us was always still waiting to tee off themselves. The front nine played faster but with some similar waits. There was a fivesome playing two groups ahead which caused those delays on the front. I would love to play this course again sometime but not if it is a 5 hour round.

An excellent value for the cost. Par 70 and less than 6,000 yards from the back tees. Front nine is okay but I have never played a course that starts with two par 3’s. Back to Back par 5’s on this nine too. The back nine has many holes along the water and an overall better layout. Reminded me of courses you might fcome across in Scotland or Ireland.
