Immaculate wandering course that is quite challenging, Sep 06, 2005

reviewer: Jeff from Los Altos Hills, CA USA

This course is set up to walk amidst the half-baked valleys and gentle slopes of the Santa Lucia Mts. The pace is relaxed, and spotting wild turkey, boar, various snakes and bobcats is not uncommon. There is a grand feeling to the course absent of clutter. The course itself has no signature hole, each is very strong, but all are fair. Distance off the tees is a must on holes 13 and 18, balls must carry breaktaking drops that make even the seasoned golfer swing a little out of his shoes. The par 5 17th and par 4 18th are without a doubt the most awesome finishing pair of holes I play. The Preserve is very challenging due to the unforgiving tall grasses that surround the fairways. There are some trees in play, very little water in play if at all. You must hit straight or risk losing a half dozen balls easily. Really bad golfers need not torture themselves on this course. If you're lucky enough to get on, you won't forget playing it. It is hard, but fair, immaculately maintained and the experience of the meandering course hypnotizes your senses. The turn at the 10th hole literally puts you miles from the clubhouse. Bring your sunscreen and your A game, but don't bring your cubanos, the course has a no smoking policy due to fire danger. The Preserve has first rate facilities, a driving range and two areas for putting and chiping to get you in order before you go out as well. The few who play it regulary are truly in golf heaven.

Unbelievable Course, May 08, 2004

reviewer: Michael from Phoenix

Like playing golf in Yosemite. Equal to any course on the monterey peninsula or in the country. Absolutely gorgeous Fazio design in a private nature preserve. The most peaceful place to golf Ive ever seen

Golfable Golf Quote of the Day:

" Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behaviour not otherwise excusable. -- A.P. Herbert, Misleading Cases, 1935 "
