Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club

Got off about an hour late due to a frost delay but had a wonderful round. The course is in perfect condition and is a lot of fun. Played the round in a little over 4 hours, teeing off at noon. The atmosphere was that of a private club but still felt fairly welcoming for resort/day guests.

I was down Monterey way 1st of May for an NCGA Qualifier and since I was there fir an entire week, I wanted to get on as much golf as possible. I checked the rates early in the week and seemed a little steep. So after playing Pacific Grove a few times(since I was within walking distance, I checked back mid-week and found that the rate had dropped by $25- $30! So I booked it and was absolutely blown away by the staff and how well kept this Pristine course is! Immaculately maintained and the staff (along w/The Bartender!))) COULDN'T have been more accomodating. I never once slowed down once I was on the course- cartpaths were like carpeting as well as the fairways! The greens were some of the BEST I've ever putted on- FAST, but fair. I'd Jighly recommend You play this layout if You get down to Monterey/ Carmel-by-the-Sea area! (Btw- it's a toss-up b/t Carmel Valley & Poppy Hills as far as My two favorites~♡ Harold Carruthers

Quail Lodge golf course is beautifully maintained and plays well from all tees. Staff is super friendly. It’s a little pricey but discounts are available - Golf Now Hot Deals. Only shortfall is restaurant is not open for dinner and snacks only lunches on some days. For these prices you should be able to have a nice dinner and drinks after a round.

Very beautiful Golf Course in very good condition need to keep it in the Fairway rough is very thick I really like this course but I would not spend the $290 Green fee that is required to play here I got on with a GolfNow tee time and 15% off of that for $140 and I don't think that the course is worth much more than that just because it snows next to Pebble Beach anyway though I give it a four out of five stars and would play again at the golf now price

Rode the Blacks (6464/71.3/128) in about 4H, 15M with Matt, Ron and Justin twilight. Bright and chilly with a slight breeze most of the afternoon.

Classic Robert Muir Graves par 71 design. Beautiful, tree lines layout. I thought the layout was very good but not great with 18 solid holes of golf. However, the playing conditions were great overall.

Tees lush and near immaculate except for todays divots.

Fairways lush and very well maintained with few unfixed divots. Looked like carpet.

Rough lush and well maintained. Just deep enough to make you think twice about longer clubs.

Sand was thick and excellent quality, very well maintained.

Greens had been recently punched with small tynes that IMO hardly affected the way they putted. Quick and smoother than you would think. I thought I saw the lines well but consistently played too little break. You better not be above a few of the pins on several holes, #4 comes prominently to mind.

Customer service excellent, saw the drink cart several times and the starter was on the ball and informative. Carts had nice GPS and there were numerous restrooms on the course. All grass driving range with complementary balls was a plus, however it topped out at about 200 yards. Really solid course, highly recommended.

I recently got to play Pebble, Spyglass and Spanish bay
Those courses were really awesome and The history and beauty of Pebble was indescribable
That being said- Quail Lodge was honestly the most immaculately maintained and groomed course I’ve ever played. I almost felt guilty hitting balls off the fairways as I didn’t want to damage the grass. Haha
I was paired up with a local member who was really helpful and polite. So that was a big help
The pace was pretty good on the front but slowed a lot on the back. I was a little concerned with the snobbish attitude I read about on a couple reviews, but everyone I spoke to was very polite and professional
Can’t wait to play it again On the pricey side for sure but worth it
Definitely in my top 3 all time and I’ve played every where
From Hawaii to Arizona and other countries
So if you get a chance? PLAY IT!!

There’s no cart person and the snack bar was not open. With the quality of the course and price it doesn’t make sense not to have everything open!

Great conditions but found pace of play sadly slow.

We have played Quail several times and enjoy the lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens. Played from the tips this round (6 handicap) and found several holes long but a fun challenge. Not crowded at all and pace of play was good. Our only complaint is that Edgars, the restaurant, doesn't open until 11am so don't count on having breakfast or even coffee before you tee off in the morning. Quail offers a "country club" experience as it should at this price. Also Quail Lodge is a great place to stay for a Carmel Valley vacation.

Things you will appreciate how green and well maintained the course is. The location is beautiful. Its nice and quiet, open course design with out the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.
