As our COVID crisis continues, so does the attraction to the sport by new players trying to find something to do that conforms to social distancing while engaging in out-door activity. It is great for the sport as these new players get 'bit' by the golf bug and hopefully continue to support and fund the courses that make this possible. But just like a lifeguard or ski patrol who ensure the activities are enjoyable (and safe) for novice and experts alike , PLEASE, PLEASE course marshals, Do your job!
I get that hacks and duffs are all part of learning the game, but at some point you need encourage the pace of play, recommend picking up, or playing a scramble within the group. And if you really need that satisfying affirmation of the ball hitting the cup, might I recommend putting an empty red solo in your cart cup holder.

Was lucky enough to get out on a Thurs afternoon and virtually had course to ourselves. .some grounds work/renovations happening on the front 9 but easy enough to make it work.

Perhaps not best day to golf, but with the favorable wind keeping the smoke away form the course, Cinnabar was a picturesque Oasis.

Always a nice track.
Courteous and safe COVID19 practice & procedures

While the overall course layout is fairly wide open and forgiving, the current conditions can be summed up as sloppy . The fairways are saturated, miking second shots more challenging than expected and chipping in is better left tot the fringes. So much for shooting straight.
I plan to play this track again when conditions are a little drier, but if you play now, expect a lot of muddy clubs.

This is a gem of a course in the Monterrey Bay Area. Spectacular grounds, Coastal Oaks, Monterrey Pines...I'm hesitant to provide a super-positive review as I'd like to keep it on the DL and I'd hate for it to get too much attention But need to be honest.
