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.

Best course in Monterey for the money
Would go back in a second most enjoyable experience
Great features plus you are right on the ocean!
We have played this course several times and keep coming back because it is challenging to our group and we always have an excellent day.
Incredible Bargain; Amazing Views
We had a great time at PG. The course is in good shape, and the greens were terrific. During the course of play, we saw deer, an amazing "invasion" of Monarch butterflies, and of course, the stellar seaside views of the back nine. It's a shorter track, and very friendly to us less skilled golfers.
The value for the dollar is not to be believed. Remarkable.
Back nine is what you come for!
Two layouts: front 9 .vs. back 9. Back is sand dunes and ocean views. Very challenging track! Go play it!
One of my all time favorites!
The golf course offers many challenges and is one of my favorite places to play. It had been more than 2 years since my last time playing and the coarse was just as pretty as I had remembered. I drove over 100 miles to and from the golf course just to play there yesterday. That to me says it all!
Best value in Monterey area
Great views. Good course layout.
Back nine on the ocean.
Back 9 on CA coast.
Loved the back nine. Right on the coast. Try and go early before wind picks up.
Great Course and Staff
The course was great with amazing views and a awesome staff.
love this course every time we play!!
Great weather, friendly people...course in very good condition (as usual) Pace of play good. 3 .5 hours for 18 holes!
Fog
As soon as we arrived for a mid afternoon tee time, it became foggy and cold. We had not brought clubs on a business trip so rented. Clubs were not even a full set of woods, no hybrids at all. Grips needed to be redone. They even made us buy the tees. Conditions were fair nothing special at all. We had no views with the fog. We quit after 9 holes because we needed to drive to San Francisco and due to the cold foggy conditions. This course was nothing great withou the ocean views.
terrible greens
Golf shop had tee time as 2:10 rather than the 1:50 which I booked . They said Golfnow sometimes made that error. Frustrating to deal with that.
What a jewel!
This course is a little jewel. Fabulous ocean views, course in good condition, wildlife, and wonderful weather. Great value and friendly staff. This is what keeps me coming back and bringing my friends!
Great course; near perfect day
I was not disappointed with this course. The only real downside was the pace of play. We were a couple, matched with a single. The foursome ahead of us kept us waiting at nearly every hole. They did not even offer to let us play through when we caught up with them. No Marshall in sight to remedy this until last hole. They sent a group out every 8-10 min. I think. This really slowed us. But, the conditions of the day were so great with the weather and the ocean, that we didn't mind too much. We focused on the beauty of the dsy.
It is such a treat to find a course that is so beautiful and partially on the ocean, that is affordable. Please don't change that. Cathy and Wayne King
Wonderful Course!
In town for a wedding and wanted to play in the area. Arrived early and had a great breakfast and were greeted in the clubhouse by a very friendly and helpful staff. Back nine views are priceless. We'll play this course again any time we're in the area
Love this course!
It's really great to play a fun, interesting, somewhat challenging and beautifully located course for a reasonable green fee. The front nine is pretty easy so a great way to wake you up and warm you up for the back nine which is like another planet. The front nine is fun though, and a decent layout. Drivable par four, nice doglegs and a couple of longish par 5s. When you make the turn though and hit the 11th tee, your jaw will drop. As it will when you duck hook one into the marine lab next door :) The wind picks up and it is a challenging next 6 holes. We saw whales in the distance while waiting to tee off 17. Not a bad way to wait. Play this course! So worth the great deal.
Great Course and Value!
Very friendly staff and the weather was pretty awesome! The back nine was spectacular with all the ocean views. The greens was in great shape!
PG Muni is one of the best value for the buck!
The view was fantastic
73 degree wheather and perfect! The back 9 is great
Great Experience
Pacific Grove Golf Links is all it is reputed to be, and more. I personally find the course a little bit on the ego builder side, but it is so much fun to experience. On top of being situated on prime real estate next to California's Monterey Bay, it has deer observing golfers from virtually every fairway. This trip, my daughter and I saw a three point California black tail deer from 10 feet away. The weather on this trip was beautiful. However, always bring a windbreaker when playing at the coast. Traffic from San Jose was really bad! Going home a piece of cake. We attributed this to the holiday weekend. I would highly recommend this course to any and everyone. While I now live in Nevada, my Bay Area-based family and friends play this course on a regular basis, as do I when in town. Last but certainly not least, the staff is first class in smiles, greetings, and service!
Poor man's Pebble Beach
One of my favorite courses. Can't beat the price for the location and conditions. Weather is not always friendly but when we played it was perfect. Beautiful views.
Best course for the money
I always love it when I can play Pacific Grove. I call it the poor man's Pebble Beach. The front nine let's you warm up your game ready to play the beautiful and challenging ocean front back nine.
