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.

Nice Day on The Course

It was a nice but frustrating day on the course.. I played with two nice ladies who were so slow and inexperienced on golf etiquette. Putting out of turn, standing in my line, chatting Loudly while taking a shot, after hitting there shot walking in front of me while I’m trying to take my shot. One gal didn’t break 130 and the other 110. I certainly don’t mind them being a beginner but please take some time to understand the rules and being aware of the basics.

Terrific Day

I had a blast at the course, it was the day before The Monterey City Championship were to start. The course was in great condition and the greens were smooth and quick. The weather was beautiful as well.

Lovely course

This is a very lovely golf course and is in great shape. The sand traps have really soft white sand that you would expect to see at Pebble Beach. There are lovely trees, some changes in elevation, and fairways and greens are in great shape. Playing early on a weekday, I was able to finish in 2:20.

Great Setup

I played the day before the Monterey City Championships and the course was in beautiful condition with the greens being a little bumpy but in great condition. Hats off to the greens keeper for getting them ready for tournament play. .

Formidable Greens

Greens are quick, undulating, and run true. On most greens if you are above the hole you are in trouble. Sand traps are often deep and fronted by heavy vegetation. My only criticism is that some sand is soft and amenable to hitting behind the ball. Many others have a hard base and cause your sand wedge to bounce.

The fairways were immaculate and generous, except for a couple with a tree right in the middle. Not sure why. Very scenic and also very walkable.

Enjoyed the course immensely! If your irons to the greens are accurate you can score. If not, well, it's still fun!!!
