This club has two outstanding eighteen hole courses. The West Course meanders back and forth over the Carmel River at the mouth of picturesque Carmel Valley. One of the more demanding holes is #12, a 415-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot over the river to a narrow fairway flanked by stately cottonwood and sycamore trees. The East Course starts out like a lamb, but then builds in intensity to a back nine that presents some of the most challenging holes on the peninsula. During the tour, players must conquer the river five different times, including on hole #13, a 192-yard, par 3, requiring a carry of nearly 200 yards to an elevated green that's cradled at the base of the Santa Lucia mountains. Hole #18, a 403-yard, par 4, is even more difficult because it's uphill all the way to a well-bunkered green. This facility has hosted more tournaments than any other golf club on the Monterey Peninsula.

Long and challenging holes - lots of over the river shots. Beautiful setting - Rancho West is a nice course.

Pine Grove Country Club
"a hidden gem"
This course is a great blend of old and new, and calls for skilled shotmaking throughout the round. Originally opened around the turn of the century, the older holes are generally narrow, lined with huge pines, and have small, but accessible greens. The newer holes climb Iron Mountain, (take a cart!) and are defined in large part by elevation changes which require a 2-3 club adjustment. These greens are much larger, but more difficult to read and putt due to the mountain topography. All of the par 5's are reachable for the stronger golfers, but three of them are dog-legs which swallow errant drives...grip it and rip it at your own risk. This is a nice course; we play it every summer and have been made to feel very welcome as visitors. The members built a new club house 3 years ago after vandals burned the old one. Nice locker room, bar, dining area and pro shop. I would rate this course at 3 1/2 stars and with only slightly better maintenance and grooming the rating would go to a 4. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you try this course.

"Great layout"
This course has it all! Some very challenging holes, as well as a few tameable ones. The holes vary, some are flat and others have rising or falling terrain. Most fairways have some undulation. The scenery is serene, especially the holes near Lake Acworth. If you haven't played here, you are missing out on a GA treasure.

Oasis Golf Club - Oasis Course
"Not good any more."
The descripion of this course is 5 to 6 years outdated. It is not connected with the Oasis casino or the Palms golf course. Several of the holes have been changed to allow for more housing. The greens are one notch above sand greens. If you pay more than $50.00 to play it you paid too much.

Apple Ridge Country Club
"Joe Welsh"
A very easy course, it probably makes the membership feel good about their game. I shot a very mundane 2 under and did not strike the ball that well. There is not much that can be done with this very boring layout, however they could focus on the irregular and unkempt greens. The one star would be for the adequate service at the clubhouse.
