Pacific Grove Golf Links

The young man who checked me in gave me a $6 discount on green fees because the threesome that I joined had a better rate than I received from Golfnow.

Course conditions were very good.

The weather was perfect (July in Monterey).

The course is infested with deer; I had a short conversation with a buck on a green on the back before he decided I was boring.

Make sure you look around the pro shop for goodies to remember your visit; better than some of the other higher priced courses on the peninsula.

It was a fun round, relaxing, a course that keeps your attention, and of course amid beautiful surroundings.

This course, along with the Mexican food in Seaside, the seafood in Monterey, and the breakfast at Bayonet/Blackhorse, makes me almost consider a move.

nice course except for a sixsome playing two groups ahead

First time playing at this course, back nine has an amazing view love it. Nothing better then to play a round of golf with an ocean view

Overall great value with the exception of the cost for club rental. $50 for a set is a bit steep. Besides that we had a great day with awesome weather. Couldn't have asked for much more

Outstanding course. Challenging front nine followed by back 9 providing Beauty of Pacific Ocean along 17 mile drive.

This course was excellent! Actually it was playing 2 totally different houses. The front was a typical golf course setting. But, once you made the turn it was a links type course set on the oceanfront,just gorgeous! Greens were absolutely perfect.

From check in to the 19th hole our experience was absolutely wonderful.

We started with breakfast at the grill and then we played our round in about three hours and 15 minutes. The greens were immaculate and the rest the course was in very good shape.

When you play at Pacific Grove golf links, you get pebble beach views for muni course prices.

We have always referred to PG GC as a poor mans Pebble Beach. The first nine is inland amongst the Cypress trees. The back nine plays in full view of the Monterey Bay. Although short, it is a nice challenge. A must play

Very average course for the area aside from 4 of the last 9 holes that get close to the water. Even with a “Hot Deal”, this was not a great deal considering the course.

Have not played at PG golf Links for about 5 months - course was the usual. Greens rolled true, played early so no wind. The only problem was on the back nine where we had a five some that turned into 6. I called the course and they had a marshal out there in 10 minutes! Great course, just hate slow play.

Pacific Grove GC is one of the greatest value in golf. The course is always in great condition. Of course the ocean back nine takes your breath away with it's vistas. Played with a man from Rhode Island who was just awe struck by the course and cost to play. We will return again.

The course is challenging but forgiving. I’ve played this course several times and have seen deer on the course every time. The front side has tree lined fairways. & the back 9 has beautiful ocean views. The back side is a links style course including a breeze coming off the ocean. I highly recommend it.

I had not played this course for many years so it was a pleasant surprise to see all the improvements made at the course. We almost cancelled our times due to the rather extreme winds from the previous day. I am glad we did not cancel. The course is rather short. under 6,000 yards from the tips but very playable and fun. The fairways were in great shape for a municipal course The greens in great shape but surprisingly firm and sneaky fast. for public play conditions.. the best part of the venue is the coastal views along most of the back side. I just wanted to sit and enjoy the views of the California coast.. As they say Very easy and relaxing course to walk. alas a good walk interrupted by a round of golf.

Who doesn't like to play the second (ocean) nine at Pacific Grove? I am always a little excited to book that course. In fact, I am playing there twice this week. The views are on par with some of the best that Spanish Bay and Spyglass have to offer...and at a fraction of the price. Plus the layout is just good fun. For these reasons, I rate it a four.

However, the greens were downright poor. Worst of all the courses I play in the Monterey Bay area. They are receptive and moderately paced, but they are diseased, lumpy, and untrue. It appears they do not roll the greens and that they are losing the battle with whatever is attacking or invading the grass on their greens. Else the course (fairways, bunkers, rough, and tees) was in good shape and was a kick to play...especially in those brisk winds. On many of the exposed holes, keeping the ball in play off the tee was a real challenge.

They need to fix the ends of the paved cart paths. Exiting the cart paths onto the fairway usually meant a string of potholes and a spine-jarring experience. This problem can and should be fixed.

I enjoy the course but you folks need to get working a bid harder on the conditions out there. Your greenskeeper should call in some expert advice. . Good luck.
