Opened in 1897, Del Monte™ Golf Course is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi. Designed by golf and polo enthusiast Charles Maud, this inland course boasts a meandering, hilly layout that has challenged golfers for more than a century.

It was the original host of the California State Amateur-still played on Del Monte's narrow, tree-lined fairways and small,well-protected greens-and continues to serve as one of the three courses on which the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational is played.

Adjacent to Del Monte™ Golf Course, the Del Monte Pavilion offers an inviting outdoor setting for any special event. Whether you are hosting a corporate outing or a tournament awards ceremony, all events are impeccably catered by the Lodge at Pebble Beach.

Unfortunate timing

I’ve played this course in the past and absolutely love it. Haven’t been back here since I first started playing golf 8 months ago so I was ready to get back and finally shoot under 100.

Unfortunately after my first tee off, I received a call and had to leave the course for a family emergency.

Hopefully I get to return to this course soon because it’s a beautiful course and was excited to get back on it.

Absolutely recommend booking this for a great golf day.

Great test of your game!

I had only played this course once before, easily 15 years prior and what a treat it was to return. We trailed the leaders by 10 shots after day one and when I saw the wind , healthy rough and small greens , it got exciting as I knew this was going to be a challenge. The course although not very long was set up fair but difficult. Greens were in fabulous condition,very slick downhill;and the side hill putts demanded your attention. Plenty of room to hit the ball;but certainly a premium to be in the fairways, bunkers are well placed and a hazard , very well manicured, was only in a few but drew a good lie each time. Several traps were either new or under construction, the care and preparation for the course was well thought out. I used every club in the bag and am glad we got to experience such a great course. Kudos to the team taking care of the grounds.

Not worth it

Poor layout. We had balls flying at us many times because the fairways are so close together. Maybe it was a worse experience because no one told us it was cart path only and one of us has a bum leg. They did give us a blue flag which allowed us in the rough on the cart path side. Staff is very friendly and try to be accommodating.
