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.

Old Course

The greens and fairways had a lot of sand as it is winter. It rained so it made it less enjoyable, but overall great course and people. Every green is by the next tee box which is different from many I play. Narrow fairways is the most challenging of the course along with small greens that are a plus and a minus. Reading them was a bit difficult as some were fast, some slower to roll, but overall a great value and experience.

Great time!

Everyone was very welcoming at the course. The starter was very helpful with anything I needed as well. I can’t remember his name, but he was very friendly.

Winter Red

A single out but played with some regulars - forward tees. Tee changed allow more iron play which helped sharpen the game. Pass on the "very basic cart - no wifi - no GPS! and walk.
