Twin Creeks Golf Course

The Blue tees total 1,859 yards at par 31. The scorecard has five par 3s and four par 4s, making it a compact round with more variety than a pure par-3 course.

Course and practice

Four tee sets serve different skill levels. The facility also has a full-flight range, practice green, chipping area and bunker. Revenue from public golf supports the First Tee youth program.

Visiting

Check in at the window before play; the first hole begins near the maintenance building. The course is at 1551 Beacon Hill Drive, Salinas, and the golf shop is (831) 444-7200. See the operator course and scorecard page and First Tee visitor information.

Nine-hole play

The Blue tees measure 1,859 yards at par 31. The operator also labels the nine-hole rating as 29.3. Five of the holes are par 3s, so accuracy into compact targets matters more than a long-drive test. The first, third, sixth and ninth are par 4s, with the ninth the longest at 373 yards from Blue.

The course and scorecard page lists the nine-hole yardages and displays a separate 18-hole replay total.

Practice before play

The facility offers a 300-yard practice range with target areas and level mats. An expansive practice green, chipping area and bunker give players a place to work on short shots. Lessons are available, and the nine-hole round can be played with or without a cart.
