Pacific Grove Golf Links
About
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.

day after El Nino
wet, but sunny out,,,and windy on the back 9 ocean side,,,
Great location and value
The back nine of this course has spectacular views and is in good shape
dissapointment
the course lets people play the back nine to start between 7 and 8 a.m., i teed off at 700 on hole 1,i was the 1st one out,and as i got to hole 11 i found out i was behind 4- 2 somes what a TOTAL dissapointment
PG at it's best
Beautiful day, 75 degrees, absolutely no wind, beautiful ocean views, great course condition and deer frolicking on at least 9 of the 18 holes. Weather makes or breaks your day here so check the forecast before you go.
Beautiful Course!
Loved the discount !!!! we golf her a lot and found out about this discount website, will be using it every time!!! Saved us a good amount of money. Love the course back 9 holes are all on the water! Poor mans Pebble Beach!!!!
ocean course
economical ocean course with some challenging holes
Front nine/backnine
The front is hohum,the back is spectular
Pacific Grove
I can't say enough about this course. I've played all the courses in the Monterey area and this, for the money, is my favorite especially if you can get a Golf Now tee time, not always available unfortunately. The front nine is rather mundane but difficult nonetheless especially if you're not a long hitter. Deer get in the way, and we saw a bobcat or other large feral cat prowling the perimeter. But it is the back nine that is magnificent. The poor man's Pebble Beach they say with good reason. I've played the Pebble Beach course and sure it is thrilling but over managed and hugely expensive. The back nine at Pacific Grove rivals Pebble Beach. We played on a holiday but even so not crowded. The Pacific Ocean was roiling, sending mist into the air, and as we teed off late, we got to see the beautiful sunset. Lest you think I work for this course, two negatives: we were held up by a "sixsome" ahead of us and no rangers to ask what are you doing? Second, the first golf cart we got in was dead. We chose another which ran out of power on the back nine - had to call the golf shop to get another cart and I will say they promptly responded. Play this course, you'll love it!
Suoer friendly staff
By now everyone knows this course is the economy version of Penble Beach Greens are small but in perfect shape. Because it's next to the ocean the fairways have been spared from freezing temperatures and Turing brown found at a lot of courses this time of the year.
Sure you get basically the same great views as Penble for a fraction of the cost but what set this course apart for me was the super friendly staff in the pro shop.
I was a first time r playing as a single yet was treated like life long member of an exclusive country club.
Joy on the Pacific Grove Coast
Started with a great deal for cart and play. Breakfast or practice? Breakfast was the option. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. The view was incredible. Even witnessed the spouting of several whales. The course was in good shape, deer and a bobcat were unusual hazards on the course. The views of the bay on one side and the ocean on the back side were incredible. Couple that with a clear and sunny day; life in Pacific Grove is good.
Fantastic
This course was fantastic...
I will back soon...
So lovely......
Warm up for Pebble Beach
Short and tricky public course. conditions reflected budget to spend. Beautiful ocean views on the back 9. Very affordable option to groove your swing before taking on the big peninsula courses.
Back 8 holes near the water
Excellent day playing no wind and nobody really on the course, so it was a good day of golf. Finished the round in 3 1/2 hours
Pebble on a budget !
Says it all really....Pebble Beach on a budget ! Okay.. it may not have the class and sheer wow factor of Pebble but the back nine here have just the same views at 10 per cent of the price !
Great Value For The Buck
PG Links was as good as I thought it would be. the course despite water restrictions was in pretty good condition. I found the greens challenging and the fairways forgiving. a great value for the buck.
Great back 9
Great round. No wind. Played another course the day before. They charge $175 a round. At $49 PG is a deal! Will play again but 5 hour drive is a bit long to make this a regular stop.
Great time but one complaint
Course stuck a twosome in between us and the group ahead of us as we made the turn when the course was packed and we were waiting on every shot. Bad form. Otherwise a great time and we will be back.
Golf Now Confirmation
The pro shop did not want to honor the golf now rate as they said the reservation was not made through golf now. They finally gave in to the rate but were not friendly about it.
The course was in very good condition and the back nine on the ocean was really fun
Love the poor mans Pebble Beach!
Weather was excellent, no wind and the deer were out in force. Beautiful course and the back 9 was exceptional. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to enjoy the ambience of the course and wants some challenging play. The course is short enough for beginners and intermediate
golfers to be challenged. Play it on a nice weather day.
East Coast Golfer
Very nice course, with scenic views of the Pacific Ocean. It's a course you'd like to play more than one time, because there are a few blind shots, that could end up anywhere. Overall, very enjoyable course.
