Pacific Grove Golf Links

This place is Amazing! I have played Pebble Beach twice and the back nine is very Pebble like. The front nine is like many courses in the area except for the greens, there are in GREAT shape all 18. The greens are true, about a 10. There was a marshall on the course, but the ladies and gentlemen know how to keep things moving. I got paired with two other amazing guys, and their name both was Mark. My round there was awesome, I was hitting my driver straighter and longer, but the approach shot stop me from shooting a very low round. I am not that used to playing in the wind so I missed a lot of greens with wedges. The course in not a very long course so with a good tee shot low rounds can be had.

The scenic back nine WOW! What a place to spend our anniversary.

PG is always an enjoyable track. Course starts out out with two par 3's then a driveable par 4 on the 4th hole. Front nine is set in a tight wooded scene with several looks at the ocean from a few blocks above. Hole 9 is a 220 yard par three that plays directly into the wind.

The back 9 is set right on the ocean and winds around the lighthouse. Gone are the tree lined fairways of the front with sand dunes guarding the edges of the fairway. The beauty of being right on the ocean comes with a price, as the wind will now be a factor in almost every shot on the back nine.

Hole 17 is a short iron par 3 with the ocean directly on your left and a forced carry over a pond in front of the green. It doesn't get any more beautiful and fun than that!

Greens are small but roll smooth and are soft, easily holding approach shots. Fairways are in very nice shape as well. Tee boxes were a little thin on a couple of the par 3's but were divot free.

Customer service is great in the pro shop. Course does have a range and carts have a USB port for charging electronics but do not have GPS. Probably because GPS devices frequently don't work at this course. I believe it has something to do with interference from the lighthouse. Be prepared for your electronic device distance device not to work here.

Restaurant has a great view but that's the extent of it. Food is way overpriced and garbage.

Overall, PG is a super fun course at a very reasonable price.

Greens had some sand maintenance which took a bit of the shine of a fun day. Short but challenging at sea level!

A technical front 9 that winds through the neighborhood is followed up with a back 9 packed full of wonderful beach views and hilly fairways. Tough time from the rough whether it be the old growth trees on the front nine that impede your slightly inaccurate tee shots or the sun bleached white beach sand that makes up the the rough on the back 9. Well kept greens and clean amenities. You'll get your moneys worth at this affordable version of pebble beach.

Played course with son who regularly shoots in low 80’s. Must say this course was about as much fun as we have experienced. We liked it so much that we went back and played again on 4/2. We will be playing Spyglass and Pebble the next two days. Can’t imagine how anyone could criticize this course. Greens not that fast but great shape. Beautiful!

Not sure why the course is so heralded, to be perfectly honest. It was okay to play, fairways along one another, different styles of design from the front to back and a par 3, tenth hole that felt like an afterthought. The poor man's pebble was simply unremarkable, given the moniker it has held. Three links style holes near the water just aren't enough to warrant a better review. Waiting on every tee box, once with two groups waiting, just isn't that fun.

Th front nine is an out and back with not much to recommend it...the back has amazing whew of the ocean and the bay. Because of its location, it is busy with people who are just sightseeing and don't think a lot about the golfers so they may just walk across the fairway! The course itself is in pretty good shape and was fun to play...just wish we hadn't had to wait for so many shots...

A fun course to play because of the location and views, especially on the back 9. However, the greens and bunkers were in rough shape.

No warning the greens had been top dress. with sand ... other then that it just a average golf except for the stunning ocean views

Back nine has great views of the ocean. If you have a chance to play Pacific Grove you should experience it. Pace of play is slow - friendly staff.

You start out with 8 warm up holes in the calm wind and then bam! Game time a 225 yards par 3 right into a 2 club wind. Once you pass or fail that test, you move to the back where you get a 9 hole sample of playing the British Open! Awesome good times

We got really lucky on the weather,it was perfect,we teed off at 9:50. It was around 65 degrees and there was no wind,the front nine is played around huge trees and beautiful houses surround the course,you will see deer on the fairways.The back nine is more like a desert course played next to the ocean off of 17 mile drive,the views are breath taking and a little bit of a distraction.The course is in pristine condition,and the greens are flawless,the greens are pretty slow compared to what i'm used to.Love this track.
