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 time, will come back again

First timer here. I had a really good time playing here. I’m a high handicap (20), but I had a blast here. Greens were smaller than I’m used to but the Course itself is pretty straightforward. Its pretty cool to have a course of historical significance in our backyard. Since Pebble is out of my prices and skill range, I definitely look forward to coming back.

Course conditions

The course was beautiful. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens have a few surprises called undulations that added a bit of a challenge as well. There were a number of side areas and carries that were all browned out or barren altogether. Drought conditions I assume. Was quite the challenge for first timers but had a blast. We will definitely one back to this course as it was definitely worth the money.

Not a fun day

No driving range, incredibly slow pace of play, costs $50 extra for a cart on top of a pricey fee and holes so close together you risk getting hit with errant shots.

We quit after 16 holes....

Good round of golf

We enjoyed our first round of golf at this popular course.

The course was well maintained though the greens were bumpy and thus seemed to offer inconsistent breaks.

Overall, we'd positively recommend this course.

One disappointing fact was that the price we paid for this round thru Golfpasspaas (our first time using them too) was higher than what we would have paid had we booked directly with the course. Also, the price offered by GolfPass did not include cart fees.

Hence, in future we cannot trust GolfPass to offer superior value, versus booking directly with a course, and for that reason we will likely not use them in future.

Great course

Conditions on the course where great even though it had punched greens and some fairways they still ran and rolled better than some courses that don’t have punched greens or fairways. Looking forward to going back.
