    Found this place by chance during a recent trip to the coast to escape the heat. It's been a while…read moresince I've hit any golf balls, but I figured, why the heck not? They even provide loaner clubs if you need them, and I ended up having so much fun! The property looks to be family-run and is surrounded by farmland, offering breathtaking views of the hills, ocean, and fields. They have chickens roaming around and a rooster crowing. I even saw a big Great Blue Heron stalking around the green; the older gentleman's wife mentioned his name is Brian and that he "comes to work" at the same time every day to help with gopher control! They also have a great putting green that costs $5 to use, which goes directly toward grass upkeep. I usually like to keep cash on hand to be prepared for things like that, but if you forget yours, they have a third-party ATM on-site. Everyone here is so nice and easygoing. I honestly can't believe a hidden gem like this still exists without being snatched up by developers. Hopefully, it stays exactly as it is, and the state doesn't step in to force more housing development like they are doing everywhere else. I am definitely coming back and telling all my friends and family about this place!

    Just a solid place to warm up. Nothing about this place is…read moreoverly nice but what more do you need? Balls are obviously plucked from local courses as youll have a basically new Tp5 and a broken strata in the same bucket of balls. Mats are in rough shape but to be expected. If those were replaced this place would be a 5/5 for me. Also this place is cash only. And the owner usually isn't around to give change.

Arrived on a late Tuesday afternoon and the place was pretty packed with the after work crowd and high school golfers. Luckily I was able to get a stall on the covered lower level. I got a medium bucket for $17. The range card is the move here, but since I don't practice often, I don't feel like it's worth it but if you plan to hit the range a ton, it's a good way to save some money. This year I built a new bag, so stock yardages was the goal. The trackman makes it super easy to do this as you can select a practice session, and then pick what clubs you are hitting. Once I was done, I couldn't figure out how to email myself the results, so I just took pictures and then used the interwebs to analyze my averages based off the numbers of my range session. If you are looking to get a baseline of your stock yardages, this is a good place to start. Overall, easily one of the best practice ranges on this side of the bay. Definitely will be back.

Ian is the real deal - he fits his teaching perfectly between technical analysis and feel. He doesn't overwhelm with things like "oh your face is 2* open at impact" or "7500 rpms is too spinny for a 6 iron lets fix that" I would get from some other coach. I have went from shooting ~130 per round to getting my first handicap at 30.5 to getting my current handicap to 18.7 to signing up for my first tournament in 14 months. I have taken 9 lessons over these 13 months and he has built my swing from nothing to where it is today. I know that my velocity of improvement has everything to do with his teaching. Come in with an open mind and be ready to practice - you will improve with his teaching and analysis.

    I started lessons with Ian less than a year ago and he has completely transformed my game. I could…read morebarely swing a driver and had no real foundation -- in under 9 months, I broke 100 for the first time. The progress has been real. Ian has a sharp eye for mechanics and breaks everything down in a way that actually sticks -- starting from the ground up with grip, then building into swing path, ball position, and tempo. He gives you a clear roadmap and builds on it lesson by lesson. I practice a few times a week and take monthly lessons with him, and every session I walk away with something concrete to work on. What sets Ian apart is that he's not just technically excellent -- he's also a great communicator who's genuinely invested in his students' progress. You can tell he loves what he does. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced golfer looking to sharpen your game, I can't recommend Ian enough. He's the real deal.

With the Ritz Carlton hotel in the back drop on the finishing holes of both courses and the spectacular ocean views, it's a memory you remember for ages. The Old Course is my favorite of the two. More character and variety of holes to challenge your skills and course management. Good greens and fairways among the quietness as you wind through the nice neighborhood homes along the course. 17th and 18th are their signature Pebble Beach like holes. On that final hole, nothing beats hitting your approach onto the green after carrying the water in front of all those Ritz Carlton guests!! You might even get some applause for it. The Ocean Course is what most visitors want to play, with many more Ocean view holes, but not as much variety of holes and shots. Still a good colf course with challenging shots and bunkers to navigate. And being on the water, it can get pretty windy, too. It's not cheap but when compared to rates at some of the other top public courses in the Bay Area and Monterey, it's a pretty good value and you definitely don't want to miss it.

I had booked our tee times well in advance, but there was a bit of a miscommunication on the books when we arrived, and the staff seemed surprised by our family check-in. Honestly, Nate was the absolute MVP of the day. Without him, our day would have been ruined. So, we truly appreciate him and we were so grateful that he went above and beyond to get us completely taken care of, ensuring our family was able to stick together and play/spectate as a group for the whole round. We timed the day perfectly, wrapping up on the 18th hole right around 8 PM. To cap off a great day, we had dinner at The Conservatory. The customer service there was top-notch, and the food was exceptional. My dad enjoyed it so much that he already wants to come back to try out the Ocean Course next time--hopefully with a more organized situation at check-in!
