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.

Tell me they have punched greens

Nice course with some nice longer holes. A lot of the par 4s are straight and short. Back nine a bit more challenging.

Two issues. Wish it would have indicated that greens punched 10-14 d prior. Still pretty bumpy. Made downhill putts random when it slowed down at hole.

Second- it was the hottest day of the week, u seasonable 85 deg! The water jug was dry on hole 13 or so. Staff should have monitored and filled it.

Traditional Course With Flat Fairways and Small Fast Greens

Nice course but fairly boring tee to green. From 100 yards and in a nice test. Restaurant closed. Played as a single and starter added me in 2 hours earlier than my tee time, which I appreciated. Pace was slow. A bit overpriced for the course, though my companions made it worth it -- two professional caddies who called this their "home course."

Fun course great staff

We had a great time! We were greeted by super friendly staff upon arrival and also when we pulled in after our round. Greens had recently been aerated, so couldn’t say how the greens normally are. We rode, but it is a very walkable course. Will definitely be back.

Well kept, well established, value, warm-up course

Not withstanding the recent aerations and very sandy greens, this was a fun little course.in a very well established neighborhood (read old). Fairways were immaculate, tee boxes good, Greens will come in well by say, mid April. Sand traps thin but well kept. There are only 150 yard markers on the sides of the fairways - step off your distances. Range finders do not work well in the fog which was the case during my play (very foggy). There is no driving range or chipping green for warm up. The snack bar/restaurant is closed, but the beverage cart comes around regularly. Signage between holes is pretty good. The rental push carts are a hazard, they should be replaced. Without a front wheel you regularly find yourself digging the front of the push cart into the ground and you go tumbling over your cart. REALLY, these carts are hazardous. Use Golf Now for the best rates. Make your reservations for the afternoon in the Spring to avoid playing in the cold and/or thick fog.

Probablatic greens

The starter Roy gave an excellent overview and alert regarding the greens, super fast, if I was abouve the hole or sideways I could make only 10% of the putts. Secondarily after using golf now it cost $95, I was surprised at check in that I needed to pay for a cart, I expected that I prepaid, guess I missed that.All in all I’d recommend Blackhorse/Bayonet

Bad Day at Del Monte

Course was dry but refused to allow carts off cart paths. Rough hadn’t been mowed so lost of ball were lost in plain sight. Pace of play was awful. No course Marshall in sight and no push to move slower groups.
