About
Originally designed by Floyd McFarkland, Pajaro Valley Golf Club has large Monterey Pines lining its generous rolling fairways. Elevated tees provide scenic views of the Pajaro Valley below. Opened in 1922 and redesigned in 1962 by Robert Muir Graves, the course features small bentgrass greens and four ponds with water in play on three holes. The fourth is one of the course's most challenging holes, a 420-yard par 4 with triple-tiered green. The course also was once the home of former U.S. Open champion Olin Dutra, who spent the last part of his career teaching here.

Course was closed due to wild fires in the area. I tried calling your customer support and could never get anyone to answer. Therefore I processed a charge back with my credit card.
Playing Del Monte today with GolfNow. Great day.
Never going back
I’m playing on a Thursday afternoon and was stuck behind 2 foursomes. I played the front in 2 hours then we caught up to the group in front. It was 3 hours and we only made it to 16. The white flowers in the fairways make finding your ball in the middle of the fairways a challenge. The greens are below average. I don’t care how cheap it is not going back. I will stick with Crazy Horse.
better than last time
course was green and better shape than the last time I played there. The carts could use an upgrade as they are band aided together. It was a beautiful day and after the group in front of us called it on 9 we cruised through the back 9 really quick.
PS when did Friday become the weekend at all of these courses. Possibly why play seems lighter on Fridays than it used to be with price increases at so many courses.
Sunday at PV
I 've been playing at Pajaro for about 50 years. It is a quick drive in the early morning as I live in Campbell. Yesterday the course was fantastic. Fairways, greens and tee boxes app top shelf. Weather was ideal. The Staff is exuberant always. Had a great time and y'all should give it a shot.
Pajaro Golf Course
The course fee is a little bit pricey considering the condition of the course. Cart's are old and some fairways are not well maintained. They have good course lay out just need to maintain the fairway.
One bad apple
Looks to me like the same unverified golfer (u000006495049) seems to have left 12 separate reviews of this course in attempt to lower its rating. Seems very suspicious to me... Maybe they have a personal problem?
Contrary to what the overall rating says for this course, it is a fantastic place to play!
I played last week and there were zero daisies visible anywhere (fairway or rough) and the greens were in great shape!
Afternoon/evening rounds are incredibly peaceful! There is a lot of wildlife to enjoy, and I love courses with Monterey cypress trees!
The people in the golf shop (and even the cart guys) are the nicest of any golf course around!
Too many daises
Can’t find my ball in the fairway because there are too many daisies. Course in rough shape, tacky decor
Terrible Course
Course is in terrible shape. Huge trees fallen on the ground years ago and they don’t clean it up. Disgusting bathrooms. Rude staff. Very expensive considering you can pay less to play a course like Del Monte. Absolutely disgusting
I love this course
Greens a little isn’t and slow today but smooth and usually fastrr
Sorry for this
Came out to play this course never been out here. What a bad course it is. The course is in bad shape , the greens are horrible and the fairways well just leave it at that . Cheated a $100 to golf here in the morning . This course should be $50 . Unless you’re in a pinch then play it . Our 4some play all over . This course was available but not worth it very disappointed. Sorry for the r review but people shiould know .
Embarrassment
Course conditions are terrible, don’t waste your time or money here.
