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.

Girl, you really let yourself go

I never 1-star anything but his had to be said.

Played Pajaro many times over the years. Stopped going because the rates got ridiculously high for the value and quality. Played a couple months ago and the course is in even worse shape than that round.

The greens are a patchwork quilt of grass and bare dirt. They are bad enough that I have played freshly aerified greens covered in sand that are better to putt than these. I got a deal at $25 with a cart and to be honest that was about the proper price.

To the management. Please put some love into this course. It is a nice layout with some great views and could use some serious TLC and water.

Glorious day, wonderful greens

A friend of mine from New York and I played. It was the first time I've played Del Monte in 25 years. It's a much better condition now than it was then.

Good, but not great

The course was in good condition. However, the rates here should be quite a bit lower than courses like Poppy Hills, Bayonet, and Blackhorse, which are vastly superior courses.

Historic Del Monte keeps its charm

It has been a few years since I played Del Monte GC. I now remember why I remember it being such a great old school track.
