Pacific Grove Golf Links

About
Originally designed by Chandler Egan in 1932, the first nince holes takes you through the forested areas of Pacific Grove. Egan's nine takes you through an inland terrain and reflects much of the charm of an English rural course done in the old style.
The back nine was designed by Jack Neville, the original designer of the Pebble Beach Links. It opened in 1960, and is laid out in true links design over dunesland that approaches the sea.
Over looking the course is the Point Pinos Lighthouse. Built in 1855, it is the longest continuously operating lighthouse in California. It is a historical sentinel and picturesque landmark of the golf course.
A scenic tour of the dramatic coastline provides views of Lover's Point, Point Pinos, Crespi Pond and the natural dunesland at Asilomar. You will be enchanted by the abundance of natural wonders such as the plentiful Pacific Blacktail Deer, seals, sea lions, sea otters, pelicans and gulls.

Poor mans Pebble
Beautiful course. Weather was perfect till the back nine naturally…winds at 20
Beautiful sights
Probably my favorite course on this planet we call earth !!! Has incredible views with challenging pin placement, along with a lot smiles from the crew. Would recommend to any and all golfers out there. Play ball !!!
Pacific Grove Golf Links
We’ve played this course many times, and were very disappointed with the course conditions. The front 9 fairways were thin (terrible). The back nine fairways were better. Pace of play was good.
Give it a go.
I’ve always heard about the “poor man’s Pebble Beach” , so I wanted to check it out and compare it to Pebble (which I played last July).
$60.00 was a fair price for the experience. The layout was simple, greens were slow , bumpy, and play was slow, but the back 9 with the ocean views was worth the other negatives.
Give it a go if you have the time.
Excellent value
This was our first time playing PG Golf Links and we will definitely be back. Friendly staff, beautiful course with scenic ocean views.
Very underrated
For the price, I got so many experiences in a course. Staff exceptionally friendly.
Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
First time at Pacific Grove!
Beautiful course! At times it was a challenge to navigate the hole we were playing due to the fairways being side by side. Having said that I only lost one ball!
Playable fun
Sporty, at under 6000 yards from the tips, the routing of the front offers challenges from overhanging cypress and the abundant deer, while the back goes old school with it’s links style dunes curving along the Pacific Ocean. A joy to try while passing through and an easy walk. On the back nine, choose brains over brawn, hitting where you can see the grass, as the sand is soft and the grasses grab balls.
Good value, tough in cool weather
Great views. Bring warm clothes. It is a Muni course.
Want to try again in warmer weather.
Always love this course
I have been going to this course for almost 20 years. This is my first time writing a review as I think it needs to be done. This course is one of the best quality per dollar courses in Northern California. The greens are in great shape. the fairways clean and taken care of. The back 9 is so much fun and makes you love the game.
My only bone to pick is the tee boxes are a little sandy and hard packed. I assume it is because of the lack of natural rain this year and they are trying to regrow the boxes. Otherwise, they are in good shape.
