This was truly a unique opportunity, as I'd never stayed on a ranch before. My room was upgraded to one with air conditioning, which was great, but I had not been aware I didn't have air conditioning in the first place! As this was summertime, it would have been nice for that fact to be made more clear. Nevertheless, I did definitely appreciate the upgrade. My room was clean and comfortable, with all the standard amenities including soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee and creamer. A mini-fridge and microwave were also provided. I especially liked the location overlooking the lake. I was able to hike along the trails and to see wildlife including birds and frogs! Communication was clear with the management. Parking was ample and free. Wi-fi was also free. I would definitely stay here again; it's also super close to Pinnacles National Park.

It's the kind of place where every corner looks like it belongs in a wedding album. . One of the unique perks for couples is the chance for the groom and his groomsmen to enjoy a morning round of golf before the festivities begin -- a tradition many wedding parties absolutely love. And depending on the day, you might even catch the sound of sports cars racing around the neighboring Laguna Seca track, adding a fun bit of local character to the atmosphere. . The weather is typically mild, but as with most coastal spots, the fog can roll in and bring cooler temperatures, especially later in the afternoon. It only adds to the romantic vibe, but it's worth keeping a light layer handy. . The bridal suite is truly impressive -- spacious, comfortable, and perfectly designed for a full hair-and-makeup setup. There's plenty of room for the bridal party to relax, get ready, and enjoy the morning without feeling crowded or rushed. . What really elevates this venue, though, is the staff. They create an incredibly professional and welcoming environment, handling every detail with ease and making the entire experience feel top-notch from start to finish. . A beautiful location, thoughtful amenities, and outstanding service -- this clubhouse is a standout choice for couples dreaming of a refined, scenic Monterey wedding.

We stayed here for the SLH Sun Wind & Wine festival at Mer Soleil Vineyards and it was a good and…read moreconvenient choice. We were pleased with our 2nd floor room. It was spacious and comfortable. As others have noted, the stairs are a bit steep but we had no issues with it. The downside of the property is that it feels quite impersonal. You check in like you would at an AirBnB rental. There is ostensibly an innkeeper on site but we never met (nor needed) them. There were also some difficulties getting our reservation payment process finalized. Even though we reserved via Booking.com, the property uses their own system and the information did not coordinate well. It took multiple messages back and forth with a remote service center before things got squared away. Knowing what i know now, I would just book direct if the rates aligned. BOTTOM LINE: A nice choice at a memorable but slightly quirky property. We would stay here again.

We stayed two nights (FRI to SUN). The rooms are gorgeous and we always love the lush surroundings and serene vibe. The inn keepers are there to help, and after all the race noise and engine sounds it was fantastic to snuggle into bed at night with (free) popcorn and watch a movie after relaxing in the bubble bath. We will be back, for sure.

Pro shop staff were great and helpful, paid $25 less than what I was expecting which was great. Let me start by saying this. When you come to a place like this golf course, as soon as you pay grab your cart and bag etc and immediately go see the starter. Check in with them. Our starter, an older gentleman seen we were about 90 minutes early to our tee time. We went to the range etc and upon just putting, he seen us and said we could go right now if we were ready which was almost 40 minutes ahead of schedule. He gave us some pointers etc on the course which helped a ton. The course had our 4 some completed in 3.5 hours of play. The course was in unbelievable shape and the greens were as hard as they get next to probably a US Open. What a great challenge and can't wait to come back here again.

We played both Bayonet (day one - 1:30 pm tee time) and Black Horse (day two - 10:40am tee time)…read more Beautiful courses; great fairways and greens were rolling true (at 11). Biggest complaint there is the slow play. Bayonet we played the round 5:15 mins and Black Horse we played that round 5:30 mins. We were 55 mins behind pace of play when we got to hole 18 and had to wait on the tee box. We waited on average 10mins on each tee boxes and No Marshalls to be seen on either days. We called the club house when we played Black Horse on hole 5. They never showed up. Would I recommend these courses to play? Yes, but get an early tee time.

They had a whole team that arrived and began prepping pizza's right away for our dinner. We chose a few different "flavors" of pies and each one was super tasty. At the end of our dinner we had a bunch of extra pizza left over and they packaged them up for us so we had left overs for the rest of the weekend which was a huge hit (for late night snacks). I would highly recommend Fuego Wood Fired Pizza to anyone looking for a great caterer for a wedding, first dinner, family event, or a party! Thank you!!

First of all I want to commend the owner and staff of Ardent for taking a leap of faith and opening…read moreat Point Pinos during He COVID 19 pandemic. Takes muchos "Huevos" to do that. My review will be about the food, staff, and unfortunate situation regarding their end of tenure at Point Pinos. My first experience with Ardent was their $10 special during the initial COVID lock down. The special was a cheeseburger, fries, and a bottled soft drink for $10. My neighbors and I tried it and were all impressed and it became our treat during lockdown. Flash forward to the relaxation of strict COVID regulations and outdoor dinning allowed. Ardent was now offering outdoor seating and full menu. My favorites included the clam chowder, point Pinos burger, chicken sandwich, and flautas. All are homemade and large enough to share. The staff has always been attentive and non-intrusive. They always asked if we were playing through, just to make sure we didn't wait long for an order. It is a shame that Ardent wasn't allowed to continue their lease and forced out by the political machine of PG. Many feel that circumstances by which Ardent was forced out is shady, to say the least, and not keeping with the spirit of supporting risk takers, minority owned businesses, and decency. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to enjoy Ardent Culinaire and they have earned my loyalty.
