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.

Classic Old Course

This is a great course in excellent condition. Staying below the pin is a must here! A lesson learned the hard way.

The only negative is the lack of a driving range

Maybe a few hitting bays to loosen up?

Poorest conditions I’ve seen there. Did not represent the pebble beach company very well.

“Amazing Staff”

I must say, the Course is great! The Staff makes it exceptionally much better! Donn who checked me in, Christian was pleasant, helpful and friendly. The Grounds Staff were friendly and courteous. The F&B Staffer was attentive and there when we needed something. Beverage pricing is high, but I understand. The selection and cleanliness of the Beverage Cart is great. The Course Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

Great job by everyone!

Del Monte Shines

I'd wanted to play this course for a long time and wasn't disappointed. Staff was very friendly and helpful (felt like we were getting that Pebble Beach service). Course is a nice layout, in excellent condition, and quite challenging around the greens. Bring your A rated short game and approach shots for sure. A good value with the Golf Now Hot Deal. Not sure I would ever pay full price here.
