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.

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%^^

great place to play

The course seems to have weathered our nasty winter well. Lots of maintenance going on, but never got in the way of play.
