The earlier you play, the faster you play

The pace of play was horrible, and after the 2nd hole, we didn't see a marshall. We quit after the 16th hole, and were considering quiting after 13. Group ahead of us was 2 holes behind.

Greens are back in shape

I originally played this course often 7 years ago, but 5 years ago they lost their greens. The new maintenance staff has brought the course back over the last couple of years, and the rains this year helped their cause. This is a fun and challenging course!

Great Old layout in extreme disaray

In looking for a place to play, I choose a course that I had not played in a while and wanted to revisit. In checking on GolfNow, there were no alerts for this course and I booked it. The course was in horrible shape. The fairways had been punched and the rough had not been cut in a long time. The greens were in reasonable shape, but bumpy. I had heard that this course picked up a questionable greenskeeper-- guess its not a question anymore

Great Routing- fun for all folks

The course was in really good shape, with just some spotty rough near the greens. Greens were hard and fast, so approaches were at a premium

How are they in business

I figured that the recent storms would play havoc with course conditions, but every bunker on that course was either overgrown with weeds or reduced to mud. I can't see how much longer this course will be in business!

Monterey is Best in Winter

You drive into the parking lot at Bayonet/Blackhorse and look out onto the Monterey Bay, in all its glory. Make sure that you play one of these courses in the winter- the best time is October to April-- there is no better time to play in the Monterey area!

Great value for the money

I was here visiting family and looked for a place to play. Haven is a great place to go for the value. The only complaint I had was that the greens were a little slow, but the routing was great and challenging for all skill levels

Watch out for the speed of the greens!

First time playing the course, I go to hit a putt on the practice green. And hit it 10 feet and it goes 20! Yes, it was downhill, but you cannot fall asleep on these greens- or your score will reflect it!

Better than bigget brother

A lot of folks think that Hapuna is the little brother to Mauna Kea. While they share the same terrain they are vastly different. I played the tips at both, and while Mauna Kea had some amazing views (hole #3), it wasn't as playable as Hapuna. I hope that more people give Hapuna a try!
