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.

Perfect, if you're a gopher.

I've been playing here for 40 years. They've given up tying to maintain the course. It's basically a giant gopher field with 18 stripes of green. I'll take a guess and say that with 100 gopher holes per hole, there are around 1,800 gopher holes. Could be 3,000. They need to change their carts to dune buggies.

Over Rated

This course might have been funner back in the day. Definitely has traditional vibes to the layout. I was not impressed with this course. Fairly boring layout. In my opinion it doesn't support my expectations of a $100 course. Course conditions were dry in surrounding areas, fairway are narrow some only 40ft wide. Fairway conditions were decent but over watered sloshy and muddy in some areas. Greens were fairly bumpy despite them being poa annua greens. Course is very short yardage. There are other courses to play for $100 in Monterey and I won't be returning anytime soon.

Playable Course

Nice course in great condition. A straight forward layout challenges you with narrow fairways and smallish greens protected by numerous bunkers. No driving range is a drawback.

Classic Layout

Good course. The price tag is a little excessive in my opinion, but the course is full so I guess they know what they are doing. I will probably only play if I can find more hot deals. A classic layout, which is respectful in its own way but nothing too exciting in front of you. The fairway bunkers are very penal. Greens are small and quick. some with severe slopes.
