Rating 67.9

Originally designed by Chandler Egan in 1932, the first nince holes takes you through the forested areas of Pacific Grove. Egan's nine takes you through an inland terrain and reflects much of the charm of an English rural course done in the old style.

The back nine was designed by Jack Neville, the original designer of the Pebble Beach Links. It opened in 1960, and is laid out in true links design over dunesland that approaches the sea.

Over looking the course is the Point Pinos Lighthouse. Built in 1855, it is the longest continuously operating lighthouse in California. It is a historical sentinel and picturesque landmark of the golf course.

A scenic tour of the dramatic coastline provides views of Lover's Point, Point Pinos, Crespi Pond and the natural dunesland at Asilomar. You will be enchanted by the abundance of natural wonders such as the plentiful Pacific Blacktail Deer, seals, sea lions, sea otters, pelicans and gulls.

Poor mans pebble

Real pretty course, especially the back nine along the bay.

Laid back vibe, Lots of small greens and short par 4s.

Great value, good conditions.

Fun Course!

Wide open, hard to miss the fairway...lol! Wind and sand dunes add challenge-- overall a good time playing near the ocean. Front 9 runs by houses, back 9 oceanside withe the road in between.

Very nicely stocked pro shop. Helpful staff.

No food or restaurant open right now -- such a letdown. Otherwise the overall ratings would be higher.

Pacific Grove Golf Course is Fun

The greens are excellent, not too fast not too slow. Fairways ok especially if you go ahead and bump your lie. A very fun not boring layout and very scenic two very different 9's. One in the forest and lined by homes, one in the sand dunes with magnificent views of the ocean.

Been playing here for 20 years, greens were the best I’ve ever seen. course is as lush as it’s ever been. Playing like a real links course, fairways are firm and roll out.

No water on course. But u can buy for $2 per bottle water.

Beautiful back 9

The front is nothing special, but the back 9 is truly beautiful, with the lighthouse and ocean. The back plays much harder as well, with the wind. Great value, will definitely be back.

Disappointed

No restaurant, no beer, no ice at the moment. Played this track a bunch of time and always loved it. Conditions not good at the moment. Definitely not worth the price.
