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.

Nice... Nothing Special

Enjoyed playing on a beautiful, 75 degree winter day., But, as others have said, this course looks and feels old. No services because of Covid, but to not allow coolers/outside food or drink is ridiculous (even worse to announce this to every foursome seemed like overkill). Back to the course...felt like an overpriced Muni, but in Carmel and named Del Monte. Fairways in decent condition, greens slow and bumpy, off fairway conditions terrible. No, I wouldn't drive from San Jose to play here again, I'll stick to Pacific Grove.

Good times

COurse condition & weather were good. There was heavy traffic due to the Thanksgiving holiday starts.

It should be no traffic these days due to COVID-19 but

that day happened. I arrived just before tee times and I wanted to ride the cart but no cart available after 12:20. A little bit challenging to walk. That's a hard exercise for me. But That's a good experience for me. I like this course and would like to come back again.

Great classic course, well-kept and fun

The absolute perfect practice round before the big day at Pebble/Spyglass/Cypress. It's really, almost shockingly well-maintained for the price. Similar greens and tee-boxes to the world-class 831 courses. Really fun and not at all difficult.

Fast play on well kept course

Course was great! Played solo in the afternoon and there was no one behind me or close in front. Had all the time I could ask for to enjoy this course while not waiting around. Great price for the area. Course was in great condition and staff was very nice and accommodating. Will definitely be back next week and so on

Beautiful Course

This course had beautiful views along the way and we were able to have family wave to us at the 17th hole from the patio of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. This is a great course to have in my backyard.
