Under maintenance poor conditions of sanded greens
Arrived to find back 9 closed, had to play front 9 twice. Very good conditions tee/fairways but greens were heavily sanded, not advised until check-in. Would have preferred to know this in advance and would have played elsewhere.
Slowest round ever!
Upon arriving at the course I was told that a Member’s Match had been given my Tee Time and I had to Tee off 20 minutes later. The Match was sooo slow it turned into a 5.5 hour round of golf waiting on every shot on every hole.
RUDE!!!!
Interesting Course
The course I was in great shape, from tee to green. A beautiful layout with lots of elevation change. Some holes re a bit difficult to judge what to hit off the tee. Due to elevation as well as strategically placed bunkers. Nevertheless, the course is very fair and a lot of fun.
Love the ranch
This course never disappointed, always in great conditions, great service and staff. Only issue is a foursome in front of us would not let USA two soho b pass making the back 9 very slow
Again love the course .
Thanks and will be back
First time at Carmel Valley Ranch
We played on a glorious day at Carmel Vallry Ranch! Staff were so friendly and the course was immaculate! The back nine is definitely more challenging than the front nine. I recommend this course for all levels of skill.
Stunning views on a well kept course
An exceptional staff from pro shop, range support, starters and Marshall’s. The course is in great shape and the scenic views are breathtaking. A truly great level of enjoyment.
Fun course and good conditions
Very friendly staff started the day off right. Front nine is in the valley floor and fairly flat, but some great holes. Back nine is where the elevation starts. The course was in great shape and well maintained..
Nice Course and nice layout
I always enjoy this course. It has a nice layout and some very interesting and fun holes. It could get an even higher rating if they watered it more. The greens and fairways are firm so you need to play towards the front of the greens.
Nice spring day
Starts off a very flat simple course, and then converts to a mountain course, and then a nice finish with challenging bunkers. Nice course.
a great day in the sun
just fun for a couple seniors(a expensive when one is retired)
