While visiting from out of town we grabbed an early morning round at Bennett Valley Golf Course. Being from Florida we loved the change of pace this track provided. Great mix of challenge and forgiveness. The staff was super friendly, pace of play was quick but not rushed, the greens were challenging and rolling quick and the natural wildlife was crazy plentiful and always willing to hang around and say hi. Kudos Bennett Valley, it was a great showing!

We got married here, and by far Jessica and her team gave me the fairytale wedding that I didn't know I wanted. The staff were extremely helpful, professional, and friendly. The food was delicious and Jessica was extremely organized, she made sure we had all the details in order before and during the wedding. Having a wedding on the golf course gave us some amazing views and photos. The staff went above and beyond to make our day magical and they succeeded. The only negative is, I was having such a great time that I refused to cut the cake. It was 100% my fault, the staff contacted us multiple times but I was having too much fun on the dance floor. Thank you so much Bennett Valley Gulf Course and Jessica for everything.

The course is in Salinas and I enjoyed the well maintained course with it's mature tree lined fairway. The greens were on the speedy side with both big & around the cups subtle breaks. Pro shop staff were helpful & friendly. There is a good driving range with decent mats. The only downside is that the cafe-bar is shutdown so bring ur own food and drinks (they do sell bottled water in the pro shop)

The last few times I’ve played here, the pace of play has been extremely slow and almost unbearable. There are a lot of older golfers who prefer to walk the course, and on a busy Friday the holes end up stacked three groups deep. There was no marshal on the course, and the pro shop didn’t seem concerned. I’d avoid this place unless you enjoy waiting 5–10 minutes between shots. I suggest implementing a mandatory cart rule for busy days.
