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.

Beginner Golfer Review

I used the 30% off coupon for the course so got an excellent price on this course. The layout of the course was nice. The back nine on the course had a great view; one comparable to Pebble Beach. There were deer and ducks every where along the course. The duck poop on 2 of the holes was outrageous and mowing will I was golfing was also inappropriate in my opinion. They should also serve alcohol and have a beverage cart.

One of my favorite rounds

A super early tee time for my brother and I turned into an amazing time. We got paired with a couple great guys and had a ton of fun. The scenery especially on the back 9 had gorgeous ocean views. The course had a great mix of challenging holes and holes to attack for low scores. The green fees were an amazing deal considering all the views and the course layout. I look forward to playing here again sometime soon!

1st time here

The front 10 holes is not very good, especially the green is almost not playable; ball not rolling! Pace of the play is slow as well as there’s lots of older people takes leisure to play...

After 11 holes, u’re playing by the gorgeous beach, which is why people calls “ poor man’s pebble beach”.

As I need to drive 75mins from home, I do not think that’s worth for me to come again.

Great location, poorly maintained

The staff at this course must lack funding to properly maintain it. It is such a great location but the greens are terrible. The fairways, rough, and other aspects of the course are acceptable, but sheesh...address the greens!!

Mr

Very Good $$$ value, relative to the length of the course. Cart paths need to be addressed and reckoned with, ideally asphalt versus the present dirt- gravel. Very good and walkable with pull cart. Better guidance signs would assist the golfer know where to go. Still most pleased with the overall experience

Might as well change to a Country Club

Let me first say that I have played PG many times. However, since COVID19, the course has gotten so much play that you need to set aside 5 hours, and that’s unacceptable. Couple that with the lack of available tee times because of all the “clubs” that play there - Men’s, Sr. Men’s, Ladies, etc who have blocks of tee times, and good luck trying to get a decent time. Recently I tried to book 8 days out, and the only time available was 4:40. This, coupled with the grumpiness of the front desk - and you get the picture. Yes, the greens are great, fairways OK - but it;s time for Monterey pines to open back up to the public!!

Mr.

61 degree grey skies wonderful cool weather! Relative to the very expensive Pebble Beach cost $575 + ( cart $45 / person), excellent bargain for a municipal course!!! Good putting conditions. Cart path somewhat rocky at times. Comfortable day!

Amazing value for that ocean feel.

The staff was great. The course was in good shape. There are challenges but it’s not in the length of the course. The back 9 you get your beach golf feel. The deep breaths there make you want to come back. It’s a pretty basic and easy course do to the short holes, but shooting a good round is rewarding regardless.
