What was the front nine and back nine have been flipped. On the new front-nine, changes included: converting No. 2 (formerly the par-3 11th) to a 298-yard par-4, converting what was one par-4 (formerly No. 12) into a new 3rd hole (141-yard par-3) and No. 4 (264 yard par-4), the construction of a new No. 6 (369 yard par-4) and making No. 9 (formerly the par-5 18th) a par-4.
On the new back nine, the biggest change involves the lakes adjacent to No. 10 and No. 18 (formerly No. 1 and No. 9) and No. 12 and No. 13 (formerly No. 3 and No. 4). The two lakes have increased in size from approximately 2.3 acre feet of water to 20 acre feet of water, bringing the water hazards more into play.
Featuring a nice layout with a blend of open fairways and tight dog-legs, this is a fun course for golfers on a budget.

Just played the redesigned (2009) layout last week and had a good walk for the money. There are many changes from when I played it years ago, namely the greens are now bent grass and roll extremely true, although this should be the case for a course that just reopened! This course gets a LOT of traffic because of the low rates and friendly characteristics. Most of the tees you do not need a driver and no long irons for approaches either. If you are a beginning golfer or want to work on your short-game this is the course for you. Watch out for the plains over head, because you are right next to the Monterey Airport!
