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.

Pricey for punched greens

Bad luck that I played after they punched the golf course. Still got charged 68.00 walking rate for a afternoon tee time with the course in poor condition. The course has a great classic older course feel nice layout with challenges on every hole. Late afternoon the local residents walk all over the golf course ? Kinda distracting when you’re hitting tee shots !

My rating would have been higher if not for above issues.

Don’t waist your time or money

As always is always the case with punched greens, the staff NEVER tells you. Three hour drive to a destination course with punched greens which were never mentioned when I made the reservation nor when I checked in nor by the starter at the first tee!

Nice job gang and making sure my golfing experience was top notch.

Green conditions

Not notified in advance that greens plugged by either

GolfNow or Del Monte..We were a foursome and although carts were a free compensation, the green issue was a distraction to a perfect day.

Beautiful course

The only down side was they had aerated the greens, so putting was a bit challenging. Stay in the fairway because they cut the grass on the fringes with a mulching mower.

Disappointed

The holes were aerated. I was not informed about it until I checked in. Putting was terrible. Playing connect the dots is not fun. Fairways are in great condition. It would have been a great experience. Very disappointed.

Solid course worth playing when in Monterey.

Challenging course that is interesting and well maintained. Walkable. Only drawback is lack of a driving range. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Worth going there.

Course condition was perfect and I can’t believe I play just at USD 100. Staffs are extremely friendly.
