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.

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.

Old Del Monte

Course was in great shapes and hole layouts were challenging but playable for all levels. Mid-day tee times were stacked up so pace of play was slower than expected. Otherwise, it was a great round.

Best condition I have seen Del Monte in. The greens were super fast and firm, all of the new bunker improvements are great. Kudos to the superintendent and his crew. Awesome shape

Good course But No Warmup Available

Good shape, great greens, decent price for a Pebble Beach Company course. However, without any range or even a screen to hit into for warming up, it’s really too bad. Surely the Pebble Beach Company could figure out how to at least have space to hit some irons before playing. No warm-up increases the chance of injury, and without warming up, we waste the first 4 holes getting loose. The following 14 holes were a lot of fun 👍

We enjoyed the round. Nice layout, well-manicured course. Our only disappointment was in finding out that our online rate did not include a cart. We paid an extra $50 for two riders.
