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.

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!!!

Poor choice of timing for tournament

Golfed on fathers day weekend behind a kids tournament that was scheduled there. Dont know why there would be a tournament scheduled for that weekend which made the pace 6hrs 30mins. Yes let me repeat 6hrs and 30 mins. In 35 years of playing never had to play a 6 he 30 min round. People just started walking off the course.

Happy Fathers day Del Monte

Terrific Golf Course

The course was in beautiful condition and the greens were fast and true. I wish more golfers would fix their divots both on the greens and on the fairways. They give us the seed and sand in the bottles on all the carts, just use them.

Tbone’s choice

Best bang for the buck//course was in great shape as usual//teed off at 240p and finished by 6//not exactly an easy course but easy to find your ball on errant shots which speeds up the pace of play//greens are fair as long as you’re not above the hole//

For the Monterey area, Del Monte is a terrific value!

My foursome enjoyed your first round at Del Monte Golf Club. We have played the majority of the courses in the Monterey, CA area and feel Del Monte measures up well and offers a great value. The staff was nice and helpful. The pro shop and other amenities are basic. The course was in good/great shape, especially the greens. The only "nit" I would have is with the bunkers as we found many of the bunkers did not have enough sand towards the center of them. The course layout was varied and interesting. It is a fairly wide open golf course, although out-of-bounds can be found on the outer boundary of it. We would recommend this course to others.
