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.

Pacific Grove

We had a perfect sunny day with very light wind. The course was in great shape with good pace of play. The greens ran true. We play the course every time we pass this way heading south. .

Best Course for the Money

This is a great course for the less serious golfer with fantastic views of Monterey Bay! Course played in 4 hours on a Friday afternoon- but it was January. A few challenging Par 3s to test your skills. Will be back!

Great Golf Course

Course was in great condition! Front nine was more target golf , the back nine opened up and great views! We caught rain on the back 9 but we were well prepared. We missed the 5th tee box and got lost for a minute. We also drove pass the 17th tee box. 😃

For 2 players its was $209 with cart and on a friday. Fun course, great views, great condition!

Could use better signage for tee box, or could be we were from out of town.

*3rd hole par 4, play front of the green. You dont want to be behind, its all down hill from there

One of the most fun courses to play. It’s almost two different courses between the front and back nine. The front is long and pretty standard, tucked along houses and starting with par 3’s. That can cause a traffic jam and pace of play can be slow. Who cares, just enjoy the deer, birds and the gorgeous view of the Bay.

Back nine is where the magic happens (or where you’ll spend all of your time looking for balls in the sand). The views are absolutely majestic, which offsets the occasional hike through the dunes. But it’s so worth it. A mini Pebble Beach experience.

Bring layers cause it can get pretty chilly, especially on the back.

Food is also great at the restaurant, so ensure to stop in for a bite to eat.

I can’t wait to go back.

Calm, easy walk with pounding surf on the back nine

Simple easy layout and the back nine’s pounding surf is worth a pause and appreciation that we can enjoy this game in a spot like this.

What a finish

Admittedly, the Front Nine didn’t stand out. It was in good shape but a straightforward layout. Then we made the turn. Wow. Conditions went from warm, sunny and calm to cool, cloudy and windy. And the inspiration went up 1000%. This is why you come to play Pacific Grove. So beautiful. So challenging. So fun. I’d love to play it again.

Interesting course.

Front side meh. Back nine along the Pacific was a lot of fun. The views were outstanding.

Considering the area it was a very good value.

Nice Course

Enjoyable course and nice variety between front nine and back nine. Pace of play could benefit from a course Marshall or 2. Ended up behind a group that spent way to much time taking group selfies that slowed play down

Great Golf at The Grove

I hadn’t played Pacific Grove Golf Links since 1992 & I really enjoyed the course! Very challenging with breathtaking views!

Pace of play was atrocious & painfully slow! 4 1/2 hours to play this short of a Golf Course is not acceptable! But it is really a Gem of a Course. If you don’t mind a really long round of golf I would highly recommend playing Pacific Grove Golf Links.
