Gary is very knowledgeable and patient! He doesn't overwhelm you with too many suggestions at once.

I was passing through town yesterday and, coincidentally, I had my golf clubs in the car. I decided…read moreto check out the Primetime Golf; I was greeted by two young men who eagerly walked me through the incredible technology they have - it blew me away, from the moving platform and auto ball dispenser to playing top-tier courses and receiving detailed statistics on my swing, I was thoroughly impressed. You can even hit balls from the rough or sand and practice your putting skills. What more could a golfer ask for? Excited, I purchased a round, grabbed my clubs, and started. The experience was nothing short of amazing. The technology was cutting-edge, and the staff was incredibly hospitable and professional. The General Manager offered solid advice to help improve my swing - thanks, young man. I highly recommend giving this place a shot. Despite being 45 minutes away, I'll be purchasing a package and visiting every couple of weeks. The technology, value, staff, and overall vibe are unbeatable. Enjoy your time there!

The space is drenched with priceless memorabilia, comfortable furniture, very cool art work and the music is always so good! The owner and his son are extremely welcoming and well-educated with the game of golf. The space is so clean and so are the bathrooms. I love that they sell golf apparel and drinks as well. Overall, primetime golf is a go-to place that is enjoyable for all ages and skill levels. I'm so happy to have discovered it!

Charming and delightful are the words that immediately come to mind when describing CCC. I stayed…read morehere for two nights and was hosted by a family member who has been a member for many years. Family members from the East and West Coast also stayed, which made for a wonderful time. The building is nostalgic and reminds me of country clubs I stayed at in New York State. The beautiful wood, the grand staircase, and the royal-colored decor took you back to the gilded age. Outside my bedroom window stood two magnolia trees with gorgeous blossoms. The room size was generous, and every morning a continental breakfast consisting of juice and pastries were available only steps away from my door. We enjoyed lunch by the golf course and walked the beautiful grounds. The club rules are reasonable, in my opinion - no denim, shirts must have collars, etc. Perhaps the most difficult rule to follow and remember was the cell phone rule - they aren't allowed. Frankly, not being enslaved to my phone was quite lovely. After a few hours of not using it, I didn't miss it. Also, not being able to use my phone to take photos or chat is the reason I didn't take pictures inside of the facility. I respected the rules. I did take a few photos of the front entrance, though. One of my family members had a reception and birthday party in the ballroom while I was there, hence my reason for staying. It was fabulous! The food, the cocktails, wine, and service were spectacular. From the swing music the band played to the yesteryear atmosphere and attire, this was one of the most memorable weekends I've had in quite some time.

Love the sports the Country Club gives! The food is excellent! The Hotel is fantastic!read more

Mike's shop is his garage and it's filled with golf clubs and tools. He doesn't have a virtual…read moredriving range or the latest tech to measure ball flight, spin, etc. What he has is experience, people skills and a great encyclopedic knowledge of how and why golf balls fly. I was using a TaylorMade R9 driver at the time and wanted more distance like most golfers. Perhaps stiffer shaft, differently weighted head or even less than the 10.5 degree loft. We measured my swing speed. He studied my swing and made me a driver. It had more loft 11 degrees, 1/2 inch shorter, more flex in shaft and a nonadjustable light weight head. Crazy, right? I gained 10-15 yards with no worse accuracy. The R9 was stock off-the-shelf at $499. My custom was almost $200 cheaper. He regripped my irons and tuned up my putter. When I picked my clubs, they were not only clean, but polished.

Short version: Had a mostly good, but mixed, experience the first two visits. But the last one was…read moreso uncomfortable and borderline hostile out of nowhere. Will not return. Long version: The first time I needed to adjust the lie angle on my irons a few degrees. He was very friendly and professional at the time. He insisted on doing a lie angle board and I went along with it even though I knew what adjustment I needed. In retrospect I should have been more insistent, so I'll take responsibility for that, but he likes to stick to his process. The adjustment was much stronger than I planned on getting. After using my clubs for a few weeks, it felt off, so I ended up going back to him to get the adjustment I originally wanted. He was cool about it and made the adjustment. He charged less this time around - he actually hesitated charging at all. After building a rapport I planned on being a repeat customer. So several weeks later, I reached out to him about adjusting the loft on a single iron. I told him it wasn't urgent. We arrange a time to meet - all seemed ok. When I get there he starts doing the adjustment and the tone shifts. He starts telling me about how I'm wasting his time with this loft change and how other customers asking for small adjustments are wasting his time. He's dropping F bombs and coming across really hostile. Keep in mind, this is a paid service and didn't ask for this as a favor. 5 minute non-urgent job for $10. I was completely taken off guard. I found myself in a position verbally defending this adjustment that *I was paying for*. I couldn't believe this guy was mad about getting work requests directly related to his club repair business. He also could have turned down the job before we both went through the trouble of meeting. I was very explicit on what the adjustment request was. Bizarre. I've read other reviews about similar outbusts and I totally understand now. Based on the reviews, he can be really great or really angry. I've seen both sides after 3 visits and after that uncomfortable encounter I don't think it's worth the unpredictable volatility.

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.

We had an incredible experience celebrating an early Father's Day! Even with a late 3:20 PM tee…read moretime on a busy day, the course conditions on the Old Course were excellent and impressively well-kept--everything from the tee boxes to the bunkers and the greens held up great. 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!

From the moment we arrived at Redwood Canyon golf course we had a good feeling about the property…read more We were welcomed by Allison who gave us a tour of the property and answered all of our questions. We quickly fell in love with the location and decided to make Redwood Canyon the place where we say "I do." They made the planning process very easy with being able to access their online portal for food choices, wedding colors, table decor etc. if we ever felt lost along the way they were available to answer questions and if they weren't available they always had a quick response time. On the day of our wedding they truly brought our vision to life and made that day magical, our friends and family had an amazing time as well as us. Overall the whole redwood and wedgewood staff is amazing, very thankful for Allison, Jacoby and Liz. The bartender was amazing and very welcoming and servers were very professional. We would highly recommend this location and company to anyone considering. Also the food was AMAZING.

The grounds are lush, green, and beautifully maintained, with so many picturesque areas for photos. There are so many beautiful backdrops throughout the property, which gave us plenty of options for photos. We especially loved the ceremony area. It feels secluded and intimate, which created such a beautiful setting for our ceremony and made the moment feel incredibly special. The ballroom is spacious and worked wonderfully for our large wedding. We had plenty of room for our guests, dining, dancing, and reception activities without the space feeling cramped. The food was great and we had no complaints. We had the cod with grape tomato vinaigrette, roast beef, and chicken Marsala, and our guests enjoyed the meal. We also brought in some additional food from outside vendors to supplement the appetizers, which worked really well for us and gave our guests even more variety. One thing to keep in mind is that there is only one bar, so the line can get a little long during busy periods, especially with a larger wedding. An additional bar option for larger weddings would definitely be a nice addition. But the biggest highlight of our experience was our day-of coordinator, Jacoby. She was absolutely AMAZING! We loved working with her and genuinely could not have asked for a better coordinator. I had a very specific vision for our wedding and did a lot of DIY decor, and Jacoby was incredible. She set up all of our DIY decor and executed my vision flawlessly. I was able to hand everything over to her on the wedding day and completely trust that she would bring everything together exactly how I envisioned it. And she did! Seeing everything set up and beautifully executed was such an amazing feeling. Beyond the decor, Jacoby was attentive, organized, responsive, and incredibly calm throughout the entire day. She handled so many details behind the scenes and was always one step ahead. She made sure everything was where it needed to be, kept the day moving smoothly, and took care of issues before they ever became something we had to worry about. She genuinely cared about our wedding and making sure we had the day we envisioned. Having Jacoby there allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. We are so grateful for all of her hard work, attention to detail, and the care she put into making our day so special. She truly went above and beyond, and she was a huge part of why our wedding day was so seamless. Once Jacoby left for the evening, Jovani took over as our captain for the night, and he was fantastic as well. He made sure we continued to be taken care of and kept everything running smoothly throughout the rest of the evening. He was attentive, helpful, and made sure we had what we needed without us having to worry about anything. It was such a relief knowing that even after Jacoby left, we were still in great hands with Jovani. We are so grateful to both Jacoby and Jovani for taking such great care of us. Overall, it is a beautiful wedding venue with gorgeous grounds, an intimate ceremony setting, and a spacious ballroom. Combined with the support we received from the Wedgewood team, especially Jacoby, it was a wonderful place to celebrate our wedding. We would absolutely recommend it to other couples!
