First Tee Monterey County

First Tee Monterey County is a nine-hole, par-31 course covering 1,767 yards. A driving range supports practice and instruction. Economy-tier green fees make this one of the more affordable rounds in the Monterey area. The First Tee program focus means the facility is oriented toward youth development and new golfers.

The course is in Salinas, the agricultural hub of the Salinas Valley on California’s Central Coast. Salinas Fairways Golf Course is nearby, and the Monterey Peninsula’s courses, including Bayonet & Black Horse, are within a 20-minute drive west. Salinas is warmer and drier than the foggy coast, sitting inland in the valley. The affordable pricing and teaching orientation set this apart from the more expensive courses closer to Monterey Bay.
