Out early on a really beautiful spring morning. Last day the North is open before they punch the greens, Course remains in very good condition. Green speeds are about 10.5+, which considering all the slope on these greens makes for a real challenge if you get above the pin or short side yourself. The greens are a bit firm, which only adds to the difficulty. Fairways have good c... » More

Played in the GK/Vivid outing last Monday in a 10am shotgun start and finished in a little under 5 hours. Tee boxes were level with full coverage and cut tight. Fairways were in really good condition with great lies and decent roll out. Rough was in great shape, playing 1-2 inches longer than fairways and not to difficult to hit from. Was in one greenside bunker that had a very... » More

Played in the GK/Vivid outing last Monday in a 10am shotgun start and finished in a little under 5 hours. Tee boxes were level with full coverage and cut tight. Fairways were in really good condition with great lies and decent roll out. Rough was in great shape, playing 1-2 inches longer than fairways and not to difficult to hit from. Was in one greenside bunker that had a very nice layer of well groomed white sand. Greens were in great shape, rolling medium/fast and pure, and playing semi-soft. Always a treat to play this course.
Highly Recommend.

I played Spyglass back with DeapSea14 on what was another perfect Monterey Peninsula weather day. I’m starting to think that if you want guaranteed good weather, just invite Peter! Anyway, he did a great job explaining in the conditions. I just thought I’d provide an update after talking to my buddy who’s a caddie for PB and played with us last week.

I played Spyglass back with DeapSea14 on what was another perfect Monterey Peninsula weather day. I’m starting to think that if you want guaranteed good weather, just invite Peter! Anyway, he did a great job explaining in the conditions. I just thought I’d provide an update after talking to my buddy who’s a caddie for PB and played with us last week. He said the greens are 100% healed from the aeration and are rolling great. The fairways are still showing signs of maintenance but they aren’t too bad. Just some brown showing in a few places from the fill sand that was applied.

I played Crandon GC at KB yesterday with a 7AM tee time. This is my second time playing here. Conditions have improved slightly over the last go round. Mainly the fairways. They are still not quite up to my expectations for a course of this caliber but there were’t any real dead or bare spots. Just mainly thin coverage throughout. Greens were firm but rolled at a medium... » More

They are still not quite up to my expectations for a course of this caliber but there were’t any real dead or bare spots. Just mainly thin coverage throughout. Greens were firm but rolled at a medium pace. Tee boxes and sand traps were all fine. Given the fun layout along with the improved conditions to go along with the price break with my resident card, I’ll give the course a “recommendation”.

Back out to Bonita for some more cruel and unusual punishment yesterday, Thursday. Walked on around 2pm and checked in as a single on the wait list. Teed off at 3pm. $40 to walk. Excellent POP at a little over 4hrs. That's about the best part of the review.

Back out to Bonita for some more cruel and unusual punishment yesterday, Thursday. Walked on around 2pm and checked in as a single on the wait list. Teed off at 3pm. $40 to walk. Excellent POP at a little over 4hrs. That's about the best part of the review.

Blue tees were a mixed bag. Most were level with adequate coverage. Some were completely closed for maintenance (I guess it's a good thing, because they sure need work). They were probably the highlight of the course rated at 5/10.

Fairways, gosh I wish I knew what was going on here. Some holes were in decent shape and some parts were in fantastic shape!! But the remaining 70% of the fairways were awful, dirt patches everywhere. Definitely think about playing all fairways as GUR. You will experience horrible lies at some point in the round. It's a shame and a mystery as you see a gleaming perfect patch of fairway right along side of bare dirt. Can't explain it.

Greens were punched a few weeks ago and are not healed from that quite yet. They were very bumpy. Furthermore, I'm not sure what is happening to the outlining areas, but they are deplorable!!! These patches weren't even on the fringe, these bare areas are all over the surrounding parts of the actual green.

I didn't find any sand traps, but they looked ok. Might be the best part of the course. Rough is really not existent.

I can't recommend right now and not sure if and when I will return. Truly sad, because the layout is not bad, especially the back nine.
