Fay M: ★★★★★
We stayed at an Airbnb and enjoyed the amenities of the Monterey Country Club. They have great tennis courts, pickle ball courts, bocce ball, a gym and a beautiful golf course. It's $15/day per person to use the courts and gym.
DIANA PHAM: ★★★★★
Monterey Country Club is the place to go to get away from your normal hustle..In the daytime, it's Very relaxing to be able to just get away for a game of golf, tennis, ride your bike or walk around, or just lounge by the pool.. it's an oasis in the Desert.. In the evening, you can enjoy gazing at the stars as they twinkle the night away..

Great place for Pickle Ball
Dan Gleadle: ★★★★
Went for golf, as a guest of a resident. Not open for public play. But a very nice course, even though the 3 9 hole segments were not fully playable due to recent rain damage in the wash.
Dawn Odenwald: ★★★★
Very well kept, peaceful place to get away. Nice pools and golf course
Brett Baron: ★★★★★
Beautiful well maintained golf course. The front gate is secure as well as friendly. The pools are impeccably landscaped Everyone makes you feel welcome in the clubhouse.
Gerald hillard II: ★★★★★
Air BNB 263 and it was very nice. Peaceful and serene. It sat right on the golf course. Secured community. We met Miss Marilyn at the pool, she sat with us and chilled. And my baby boy learned to swim here. So this place will forever stay with me. Book this place if you want a peace of mind. Birds chirping and squirrels at play....

Marie Kang-Scott: ★★★
This is a private country club, but it looks and feels like a municipal golf course. Their restaurant was closed, and there was no place to buy a bottle of water. The course is pretty with many water holes.
Jill Johnson: ★★★
Yeah!!!!

I took a 25 round (month) package. The members treated me like a second class citizen. When went to dining, no one, I mean no one would smile at my wife or I, the bar tender ignored us etc. We always were assigned the nine holes with the most water hazards. The 25 round package turned out to be a membership agreement that I would have to cancel, in writing in Dec. of that year. Since I did not realize this, they expect me to pay for another year with no benefits. We live in Mass.

Watch out for Greg, he's a major douche bag.
