Beautiful layout, challenging holes, good value.

Greens are too fast and have way too much slope and undulations. 3 putts are common and 4 putts possible. Simply no way to stop the ball when above the pin.

Completely unfair in many cases.

Carmel Valley Ranch golf course is very nice, relatively flat on the front nine, then challenging topography on the back nine.

Course was wet from plenty of recent rain, but greens were FAST as ever. Nice sunshine and great day to be out playing golf.

Scheduled golf here with family member in town. Showed up to find greens had been punched and sanded and were basically unplayable. The person checling us in gave us a discount due to these conditions, but any reservations should have warned us about these issues. We would have never played a course with newly punched greens. A miserable day. No way to cancel and find another option at the last minute.

Back nine has cool elevation changes and nice views.

Excellent conditions on the course. Bring some layers, it gets chilly when the sea breeze kicks in in the afternoon.

Good sand in the sand traps.

Had beginner in front of us for 4 holes which took forever, but they peeled off after that and the pace was fine.
