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 Challenge

What can look to be simple is not. Good condition and layout seems straight forward but must play this course with confidence. Small greens and protected fairways will keep you honest to make par. If you are not a good player getting out of trouble or able to recover with creative shots, it could be a long day.

Approach shots are key to a good score.

Enjoyed the 1st time playing at Del Monte

I got a GolfNow deal and tried the 1st time playing at Del Monte. The course is very well maintained, except few sand bunkers lack of sands at bottom. The greens are very small, so you need to shot accurately. Overall, enjoyed the walking on the course under the good weather.

Great course at a great price

We’ve played many courses in the Monterey area and decided to give Del Monte a try. The course was in great shape, staff was helpful and restrooms were clean. The course is fairly short but still very fun to play. Pace of play a little slower than I like, but it was a beautiful day!

Beautiful and fun course!

Loved all 18 holes here! No driving range. Beautiful scenery and well-kept course. A bit backed up on a few holes but I'm sure this varies from day today depending on the players. Great value on golfpass.

Excellent Condition

Haven’t played here in ages-over 25yrs so a treat to come back……even though I didn’t remember any holes. The course is in great condition and the greens are very fast, which I like. Staff super friendly and we played in under 4hrs. I’ll be back!

Great experience, course excellent

First time playing the course and had a great experience. Course in excellent condition, greens were perfect and got fast after the morning precipitation dried up. Rough was thick making hitting fairways a premium. The course layout was fun, not super long, but had to think about what and where to hit.

very good management - fairway & green!

fairway, greens are well managed!

typical flat golf course, looks cozy and easy, but difficulty is in rather small greens. -- one of the best public golf course, 90/100!^^

enjoyed this old, historical golf course!

hope the green fee would be lower 20%^^
