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.

Too wet and not good conditions

Course is a swamp from all the rain. Surprised they are open as fairways and rough cannot be mowed. Greens were best I have seen at Del Monte but if you can’t find your ball in fairways or rough it will be a long day. Over 5 hours and 30 minutes with all the search and rescue ball missions. Every hole you had to wait because of this.

This course is beautifully maintained. The staff was VERY accommodating and friendly. Unfortunately we played the day after a storm and the course was soaked (of course). When dry this course is beautiful!

Disappointed

I called to cancel my tee time because I was involved in an accident on my way to the course and the pro shop only cared that I don't cancel 72 hours in advance and made sure they received payment for my greens fee even though I didn't play. They never even asked if I was ok.

Old Del Monte

Played old del monte for the first time on 11/25. Course was in great condition and the weather was perfect! I hit the ball left way too often (OB) on the front nine but had a really good time. The greens are fast and more difficult than your average muni. A very good value for the oldest course in Monterey.

Old Delmonte

Great conditions. It rained heavily a day or so before playing but the sandy loam soil drained well. The greens were wonderful.

Average course and price

We teed off at 11:00 am and the pace of play was perfect. We finished in just 4 hours. The conditions for 11:00 am were perfect.

Course was in average shape.

The tee boxes were in slightly below average. The tee boxes were un even with a lot of unrepaired divots. To add there was a lot of crab grass growing on the tee boxes.

The fairways were in good condition but outside of that there were a lot of bare spots.

The greens were in great shape for being punched three weeks ago. They ran at an 10 on the stimpmeter and they rolled fairly pure. Overall the greens were the best part of the course.

They have one food cart running on

The course was a fun but paying over 100 plus 25 for cart seemed a little excessive for the condition of the course overall.
