"Going down the rabbit hole"

2 different nines on the west side. Front is a relatively simple layout with a splash of water, a spit of sand and some green undulations. Back is like playing in your hallway. Condition is average and scenery is adequate. Overall, a pleasant day on the course, however there are a lot of better options in Monterey.

Excellent public course

Not Pebble Beach, but a nice, affordable, track that poses some challenges. If you want to be treated well and play an economical round this is the place for you.

Little brother beats big brother

Bayonet has always held the top spot of this two course complex. After playing, however, I must say I like this one better. Shot selection is more varied, condition was better and greens were more challenging. In the middle of our year end trip to Monterey I rate this course third, so far, behind only Poppy Hills and Pebble Beach! A wonderful day on the course!

Pleasant mid-level course

Nice variety of holes in decent condition for December. Lots of elevation changes yet, if ball is positioned properly, your shots are played from good, level fairways. Staff could be more helpful with course tips, but overeall, a good experience.

Warm up for Pebble Beach

Short and tricky public course. conditions reflected budget to spend. Beautiful ocean views on the back 9. Very affordable option to groove your swing before taking on the big peninsula courses.

oldest course west of the mississippi

Take a course in patience. Not long ,( 6365) from the back, however each shot must be played as if the round depended on it. even after 2 days of rain, the greens were fast and true. Overall, you will greatly enjoy a round here and on a pristine day, it will be memorable!

Wind and Rain and it doesn't get much better!

On a less than stellar day, this course played true and fair. Each hole is its' own, each shot a challenge. Played from the appropriate tee, this jewel can be enjoyed by all.
