This club has three fabulous eighteen hole courses. All three were built on rolling hills and have grass and sand bunkers throughout the designs. All of the fairways are tree lined, and the greens are small. The last three holes on the Grace Course are all par 4's measuring 437 yards or more. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 5th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 4th best for 1997-98. In the category of "America's 100 Greatest Courses" it was ranked 83rd for 1995-96, and 77th for 1997-98. Other awards include "GOLF Magazine's" ranking of 69th among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1995, and 97th for 1997. "GOLFWEEK" rated it 73rd in the category of "America's 100 Best Classical Courses" for 1997, 60th for 1998 and 64th for 1999. The Weyhill Course is the most picturesque course due to the many elevation changes. "Golf Digest" named it the 7th "Best in State" course for 1997-98. The Old Course is a very traditional layout with sloping greens. The Old Course hosted the Senior U.S. Open Tournament in 1992 and will host it again in the year 2000.

Arroyo Seco Golf Course
"Pretty Good Par 3"
This is a good course to tune up your short irons. It's pretty well maintained (the tees are mats however). Most holes are about 130 yards or so with a pond coming into play on a couple holes. There are no sand traps, but there is a stream that runs through the course as well as many trees. It's a good course to play after work, with your family, or when you don't want to play a full golf course.

"My first course"
I grew up playing MCC. The main criticism of the track has always been that you never get a flat lie, which is often enough true, but a weak criticism nonetheless. When typically fast the greens are challenging (hint: everything breaks toward the ocean); on #13, if you don't keep it below the hole, any putt you don't sink will wind up all the way at the bottom. The course favors a longer driver, and offers plenty of challenge and opportunity for creativity. And you can't beat the view of the Pacific.

"Best Course"
My grandfather belongs to this course. Not only is it beautiful, but it provides a unique challenge at every hole. I have yet to play a course that matches the beauty and unique design of Cypress.
