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.

Only problem was the condition of the fairways. They were very splotchy. Not very consistent Bunkers were fine. Greens were a little sandy and small but rolled very true.. Loved the layout and the overall feel of the course. Rachel the cart lady was the best.

Fun course

I played in the afternoon. It was not crowded. Pace of play was great. Finished playing in two and a half hours. Loved the course layout. Most of the tee boxes are located next to the previous hole's green. The fairways are in good shape. The greens are in great condition. There are some dry patches in places. They do not affect gameplay. They are in spots away from where you would normally hit the ball. I had a geat time. This is a fun course to play.

Historical old course a delight to play

The course conditions were mostly excellent, the tee boxes, greens were excellent, there are a few dry areas in places on the fairways. Overall good, but not perfect as there are filled squirrel holes on the edges of every fairway. The traps were in excellent condition, something that is lacking in many of the nearby courses these days.

Nice course

We played on the 25% hot deal so the price was right. Pro shop staff and starter were very friendly and helpful! We didn’t try the restaurant. Pace of play was good and generally the greens and fairways were in good shape. A lot of the transition areas along the fairways and between holes were not maintained......so you’re hitting off dirt and weeds if you land there. The course is easy to get around - compact layout - easily walkable. For the price, I’d rather play Pacific Grove or Laguna Seca.
