    May 2024 Par 4 #1 hole.

    Challenging course. Good parking. Good range. Good practice green. OK chipping green. Good Restaurant. I will say their golf carts have the most comfortable cushioned seats I have sat on in my 40+ years playing this game.

    This was our course in three days in the area. I really liked it. I typically hit the ball straight but not super far. The layout of the course is wide fairways, no rough, then woods which typically allowed me to stay in the fairway. Not the magical ocean views of the other courses but equally beautiful. The course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly. We only had a twosome which was a nice change from the crowded long rounds at the other two courses. We played in less than 4 hours. The head of operations here was our caddie the day before on Pebble Beach. Was so happy to see Denzel again. He was awesome to work with. Best golf I played over the 3 rounds.

    Ive played here many times and the course is always impeccable and fun to play. However the main guy at the clubhouse is rude and disrespectful. I believe his name is Denzel. Ive had several experiences checking in and his attitude is always the same. The last time I golfed I called the day before to see if my wife could ride along but not play. Whoever I talked to verified that and said there is a charge of I think $25..no big deal right.. When I went to check in I told them my wife would be joining me and Denzel made a huge deal about it and said you have to call before and make sure there will only be 2 carts per 4 some and tried to say she couldn't join me..My budy was also playing with me and he was walking so after arguing with Denzel he finally said my wife could ride for the fee but next time I need to call the day before.. WHICH I DID ! Even though he said there was no record of this. As we pulled up to the first Tee a employee pulled up and said my wife couldn't ride and that I have to go talk to Denzel at the clubhouse..what a joke! As I walked back and up the stairs to the clubhouse I looked at Denzel and said what now ? And he said she can ride...im pretty sure he was just being a jerk.. My advice is to play Bayonet for half the price and is great shape year round and the staff is always friendly.

    Came here to celebrate New Year's Day! I Love this course. Manicured and perfect weather. We got to see the deers close by.

    Came here on an atrocious day for traveling from the Bay Area to here - beginning of Memorial Day weekend in the afternoon where it took us an additional hour to get here. Originally I had planned to arrive here 45 min prior to the tee time and I ended up making it 10 min before. The front desk staff and starter were so gracious to try to find a way for my buddies to tee off at the same time while arriving late and we made it happen so big thank you to the staff for that. The course is absolutely beautiful and I shot my best round of my life here - breaking 90 for the first time ever. Throughout the round, you'll have plenty of pine trees surrounding you in such a peaceful forest. The condition of the course was fantastic with greens firm and fast, but not excessively so. This was my first time seeing these interesting bunkers surrounding the tee box on some holes which was very charming. There are also some long fairway bunkers that you definitely want to stay out of. Overall, with a controllable driver and a hot approach game, I gave myself lots of good looks throughout the round at this beautiful, yet not too difficult course. The key is to just stay out of the pine straw. The only star deduction are the marshals. I felt that hustling our group along may have been a bit excessive, considering that the problem was they let the group behind us tee off way too close to our time. We told the marshal ahead of time that if they want the group behind us to play through, feel free since we had 3 on carts and 1 walking. They didn't for a few holes and then when they finally did on the back 9, the marshal didn't seem to empathize with why I ran out to the fairway because I didn't realize the cart path blocked entry until the end of the hole (it's my first time here after all). He didn't even care that I asked my friend to drive my cart for me as I had run a bit forward while searching for my ball in the fairway because I didn't realize I had absolutely mashed my previous shot, making it go 20 yards further than it normally does. Seeing that there have been previous Yelp reviews calling out the marshals, I think that especially being a destination course, they could be a little more chill and move people along in a more respectful way instead of saying "I don't know what you were thinking running down." We were already hustling and not trying to take the course in the first 9 since we were delayed in consideration of the group behind us. Would I come back? Yes because I broke 90 and it's a peaceful course. Definitely has its faults especially when they should know a lot of people are traveling far to play here. But I'm hopeful that people will try to improve if they genuinely care.

    I will say that this course may not be fore everyone although we love it. Staff are always professional and very fun to chat with. For the area the rate is very reasonable. The views are nice and the course is well maintained. This s a NCGA member must.

    Eddie S.

    For NCGA members I think this is the best bang for you buck out there. Beautiful course. Manicured extremely well. Challenging but not overly ridiculous. Shielded from the wind so weather conditions are usually better than other courses in the area. If you haven't played it yet get out there and enjoy!

    Wow, took a day off work to come down here and the girlfriend was excited that she thought we were doing a little Monterey date day. Little did she know I had my clubs in the back and when I saw this beauty I had to stop. Staff was friendly and the course was immaculate. Hit a bucket of balls at the range to dial in my swing and decided I needed to play 18. This course is one of the highest quality I have seen a public course. Especially at this price point. Challenging course and really tested my skills of finding my pro vI in OB areas.

    Steve T.

    First time here and didn't know what I was missing all these years playing around here. Fun and tricky golf course with good greens and fairways . Everything in great shape including the carts. For the price , this place gets 5 stars.

    A fun day golfing with new friends!

    They need to figure how to allow NCGA members to use the practice facilities without having to pay a 17 mile gate fee.

    There are a number of tee boxes to choose from, and I suggest (as does the NCGA) that you play the tees that align with your index/handicap.

Flew into Monterey, felt like stepping off a private jet onto the tarmac, this is how the 1% lives. We golfed at Pebble Beach (bucket list) one day and Spyglass the second day (another bucket list item). The golf was picture perfect, the 18th hole on Pebble right along the ocean, drives to remember for a lifetime. Both courses were beautiful and everything was first class all the way. You are assigned a caddy, just like the pros, really fun. I think these guys make more than doctors, big dollars fall into their hands, but they make it enjoyable and fun. This is the kind of trip you dream about and it did not disappoint. The restaurants were 5 stars, ribeyes/steaks and seafood every night, even the breakfast spot we went to in the morning was amazing, cinnamon rolls the size of dinner plates. The Hotel had a gym that was better than many gyms you pay a membership for, new, huge, great equipment, great views. A spa with a steam room, locker room and showers, wood lockers, old money style, Just the way you picture it when living it up. Every dream sports car/luxury car parked in front of the hotel. My four stars is not anything to do with the experience, I would not trade it for the World and am very, very grateful for the opportunity to experience it. The golf, the hotel, the service, the restaurants, etc. first class all the way. Where I struggle a bit is just the excess here and the expense of a trip like this, I would have never spent this kind of money if it was not connected to building a Business relationship. I spent Easily over $30,000 for us all. Amazing, but excessive. Enjoy!
