Bad staffing

This cours course is in much better condition every time we play it and the layout and the design is great. The person working in the pro shop was friendly and seemed happy to see everyone, but the person working the snack shop was in the worst mood of anyone I've ever seen in a business he should be trained or fired. They were pretty busy but thats no reason to snap at people.

Tall weeds and slow play seniors

Somehow my Golfnow tee time was right in the middle of the mens senior group. The course blamed golfnow and I'm sure golfnow would blame the course. We were able to get out behind the senior group, about half an hour after the original time. They play like they own the place, no one from the course for pace of play, so it took awhile to play, about 45 minutes longer than normal. The course is in great condition. but the areas off the rough they consider native area, which is just old grass and weeds from the course before it was redesigned is way too long and unplayable, if you hit one in there you're not going to find it, also slows down play.with people looking for their ball.
Overall I'll pass on this course.

Much improve... again

I reviewed this course about 6 months ago, in said that it was much improved. I played again last week and it's even better now. They're doing a great job on getting this course in very good condition and it's a very good value on top of that period

Much improve

They have done a great job on getting this course back to a very good condition. Compared to a year ago it's a night and day difference, they really done a great job.
Hopefully the keep it up and it'll be one of the great courses in the area to play.

Refreshed

I've written pretty harsh reviews about this course in the past.
Not this time! They've got the course back in good condition, good greens, tee boxes and fairways. I hope they keep it going, it's such a fun course to play

Could be great

I love the layout of this course. Unfortunately, the course is in terrible condition. The only thing in good shape is the greens, the tea boxes Fairways and rough are terrible. hopefully they will get this course back into good shape and make it one of the best in the area, like it was in the past. The staff is very friendly and the amenities are good but, if the course is in bad shape why go there?

Great course, try it!

This course is being managed so well now. If you haven't been here for awhile because the conditions were poor, you should come out and play it, it's in great shape, good pace of play, and very reasonable.

Still needs work

They seem to be trying to improve the conditions on this golf course compared to the last time I was there. The bunkers, have no sand in them. the tea boxes need some work. The greens had just been punched but they seemed pretty good. The price makes it worth it and I like the layout of the golf course. I just wish it was in the condition it was originally.

Fun but rough

This is a fun Golf Course to play, but it needs a little help. Lots of areas are in rough condition and the greens were a bit bumpy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely play this course again when in the area.

Needs TLC

Overall I like this golf course. But the condition of the tee boxes and fairways is questionable, the greens though are in excellent condition. This course has always had ups and downs as far as condition hopefully they're on the upswing now. it's a great place to play.

One thing missing

Disc golf course is in excellent condition from tee-to-green, except for the bunkers. There was not one bunker with any sand in it, they're all hard-packed dirt. What's up with this course with no bunker maintenance?

needs maintenance

I've played this course in the past, it seems to bounce between good and poor condition. Right now, I'd say it's poor. The greens were in excellent condition, that's it though. The tee boxes didn't seem to be mowed for a long time, the areas around the fairways were bare and dusty. Overall it just seemed like there wasn't any payroll for maintenance.
Staff friendliness was non existent, the guy in the shop should just stay home if he's gonna be in such a bad nood.

Great golf...in Salinas?

This course is in great condition, friendly staff, and not overly crowded. We played in 3 1/2 hours and never seemed like we were being pushed.
For the money, I would pickm this course over most of the courses in the Monterey and San Jose area.

Not up to par

With the exception of the greens, this course is in serious need of help. Several portions of fairways roped off, terrible tee boxes. I'm not sure what happened, this course was a great place to play a while back...not now .
