Pacific Grove Golf Links

Great location, esp the back nine. Fairways, greens and especially bunkers were average minus. Green fees seemed high for weekday afternoon.

Conditions remain solid all around at Pacific Grove. Fairways were nice and lush with good coverage throughout. Most of the green are in good shape with only a couple having some small disease areas near the edges.

Tee boxes were level as well with good coverage. Pace of Play was a little slower than usual but still in the acceptable range.

PG is always a fun course with spectacular views of the ocean. Even with the night winds I’m the afternoon on the back 9. It was still enjoyable

The front nine is quirky but the back to back par 5's are good golf holes. But I play this course for the atmosphere of the back nine. The waves crashing against the rocks as you stand on the tee box are incredible. The par 5 12th hole is among my favorite holes in all of golf.

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!
