The course has gone downhill from my last visit

Nice quiet Thursday noon round. Not very busy and great weather. Greens were in great shape but lots of wet areas around the greens. The tees needed mowing and were horrible. The fairways could not tell the rough from fairways on a few holes. Overall ok conditions but needs some love.

Soaked from lots of rain

The course greens were recently aerated and lots of rain in the last 2 weeks. Many spots on the course caused plugged tee shots especially #16 drive. I had a good round but spent a lot of time searching for balls in the fairway. Give the course 2 weeks without rain to recover from the wet winter.

Poor drainage makes for slow play

I played with a foursome that started at 10:40. It had not rained for 3 days but the course was finally trying to cut some grass. The rough was 6+ inches and impossible to find balls. Round took almost 5hrs due to constant searching for balls. Cost us $55 with a cart seemed to expensive for conditions. Greens had lots of deer hoof damage and a temp green for #3.

Great round at MPCC

Had a enjoyable round at Monterey Pines. The pace was good and finished in 4:15. Greens are in excellent shape and the course is in great shape. Can't beat the $30 price for this gem.

Nice walk through the woods

Enjoyed a nice round in perfect weather at BCCC. The greens were in great shape and the fairways are firm and in pretty good shape. You won't need your driver much but course has good practice for your short game. Tees could use some work but overall a fun place to play.

First round at Canyon Lakes

I had a nice round at CL. Some of the traps need some TLC. Lots of ground under repair traps but overall the course is short but challenging. The greens were in great shape and like most courses in this area the traps need lots of sand.

Great conditions with fast greens

I had a nice day playing with 2 others on Bayonet. The coarse is hard with fast greens even after recent rains. Do not fly it to the hole. Pace was good but got very slow for last 4 holes. They will aerate April 5 th to prep fir PGA club championship.

January round

The course is in great shape. There were some slower groups in front of us so it ended up being a 5 hour round. Love the layout and the scenery. This course should consider putting some hot deals at times other then 7am to get more play. The standard rates are to expensive.

Quick play on a rainy day

I enjoyed playing a practice round by myself with no delays unlike the usual slow play on most afternoons. Finished in 3 hours with and 80 and a smile. Course is in great shape but they should consider leveling out some of these tilted greens.

Tues afternoon round at DLV

Great local course with great greens. Only ocean view is on #17 blue tee but an interesting layout. I shot a 85 with a few errant drives. Many holes here require a 200 to 210 yard tee shot due to dog legs. The greens were in fabulous shape. Great deal on Golf now made my day $20. Great course even for top price of $50.

Great course for the money

I drove down from Santa Cruz area to try out this Robert Trent Jones gem. Started out the day with a 500+ yrd drive thanks to the cart path. Traveled all the way to the front of #2 tee box. The greens were in awesome shape and the traps were maintained very well. This course is mostly wide open and plays pretty easy if the wind is not to strong (which it usually is in the afternoon). It was well worth my 45 minute drive and I would recommend it to friends.

Fun local course with difficult greens

I have played this course a few times since moving to the area. There is only an ocean view from the club house but very close and plays like an Oceanside course. I like the course layout but it tends to back up on number 6 which is a 200+ yd par 3. They should consider moving the tee box forward on this hole since the green is so difficult. They had recently aerated the greens when I was there but should be fine by now. They provided no notice before paying which is poor customer service in my eyes. The course is not to long and pretty wide open just that the undulated/tiered greens make this course not one of my favorites and only 4 stars but overall a good bargain for 40-50 bucks with a cart.

Great courses

I played Bayonet on a Tues at noon for a great $50 rate. Course was in immaculate condition with new sand being added while I played. Blue tees proved to be a good challenge making the par 3's play 150-180yds. I would play here every week if it was closer to my home. It was worth the drive any day. Highly recommended.

Good value midweek

First time was a great time. Course was in nice shape. Not to long so I played from the black tees. Greens lush but a little bumpy due to aeration 3-4 weeks ago.
