Pacific Grove Golf Links

This is a beautiful 18 and well priced to play woth your family. Back 9 is as beautiful as Portrush Dornoch which are top 2 in my book. Greens and tees are in well below average shape but who cares when the view is great! Shorter format and very tight.

This is probably the first time I am writing a review. I have been to many golf courses over 15 years, but I have never seen a golf shop staff this rude and unwilling to treat their guests. I could say that she looked very annoyed. I don’t think it is a good idea to put someone with that look on the pro shop.

By the way, it is a great link course that I want to play again.

Great course. The front nine feels a little squished, very skinny greens in between lots of houses. The back nine is along the ocean and offers golfers just a beautiful view. Some of the staff are friendly others seem a little cranky.

Like you, I’m a public golf guy. I try to figure out the best, most affordable courses I can play. I’m not sure if there is a Muni Hall of Fame, but if there is, Pacific Grove has to be in it. I was spending the weekend on Monterey and there’s just no way I was going to be able to pay for the famous ones. But the reviews all said this one was a gem. Amen and alleluia. The font nine is a quirky layout with a few fun holes. But the back. OMG. Carved into the dunes, views of the Point Pinot lighthouse, the Pacific Ocean around you on two sides. Every hole on the back was a joy. I will remember this round for a long time. If you get a chance, play the “Poor Man’s Pebble.”

An amazing round of golf. Not a long course, but plenty of obstacles to get you in trouble if not careful. Friendly staff and amenities! The back nine was beautiful!

The front is just okay; the entire back nine is by the ocean. As beautiful as any course in Hawaii and a fraction of the cost. Staff is very welcoming. You cannot do better for the cost.

Staff was very friendly. Good alternative to the big money courses along 17 mile drive. Pace of play was held up by group in front of us or we would have been done in 3:45. Lots of deer and great ocean views.

Everything was perfect. The weather, the course conditions, everything. EXCEPT. Slow groups in front of us. Had to wait at almost every hole. But, I love that you don't pair us with people we don't know. I'd rather wait a bit and play with just my hubby, than paired with others who are much better or much worse than us. Either way, it can be awkward. Overall, the day was perfect.

For the few remaining courses that have Poa greens in the area I have to say I was highly disappointed in the playing condition of the greens.Though they were lush and bumpy do not expect to score.And if your playing partners are generally going to pick up their ball instead of putting out-I’m sure that would relatively speed up the pace of play
