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.

Fun Day at PG

I played PG for the 2nd time in the past 9 months. Aside from getting hit by a Golf Ball on the 5th Hole it was a fantastic day on the course!

I’ll be back to play again in October!

Peaceful at PG

My 3rd time playing Pacific Grove & it was a beautiful day for golf. Aside from being hit in the hand by an errant tee shot it was a very enjoyable day. I’ll be back to try it again in October! Until then, Cheers!

Beautiful views on the back 9

I had high expectations for this course since it was being compared to Pebble Beach for the views. They were absolutely beautiful on the back 9. Too bad it was cloudy because I'm sure it is gorgeous with full sunshine. The front 9 was lush however the back 9 was a bit patchy and there was a lot of deer poop everywhere. I would have liked a bit more clean up happening.

Absolute must.

The course is in great shape and a fun layout. Front nine, solid, nothing special but nothing bad at all. But the back nine is exceptional. Great fun holes, A+views, honestly a must any time you come out to Monterey. Plus 10 l-15 minutes from all the fun of Monterey so very convenient.

Poor Man's Pebble

Poor-man's Pebble is 100% correct. Sneaky little old-school course. Awesome to walk with easy green-to-tee distances. Reasonably kept. Obviously not the best course in the area, but a great value.

Fun

Course is playing well. Greens are in great shape. Boxes could use a bit of work but fine. Fairways need some heat will be great. Short course but fun to play. Watch for hot deals!
