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.

Keeps Getting Better

Well maintained course with two styles, inland nine holes with some challenges then a links style along the coast with sand dunes. Wind makes it more chammenging in the afternoon. Deer along almost every hole. Best value on the peninsula.

Spectacular views! Greens are immaculate!

I play a lot of municipal golf courses and this is one of the best ones in the entire country! With the exception of a rude range worker, we had a fantastic time. The scenery on the back nine rivals any in the entire area!

Haven't played here for over 6 months

Have not made the trip out to PG because of work schedule, used to play monthly at the course. Course was in terrific shape, especially the greens. Will make part of my regular rotation. Not as challenging as Bayonet or Blackhorse, but a fun track. 2 distinct nines, wind along the back makes shot selection important.

Great course great value

My wife and I played this course for the first having driven by numerous times while visiting the area. I was not disappointed. Although a rather short course it was challenging, a lot of trees and O.B. on the front nine kept things interesting but the back nine was right on the ocean. Every hole had a view that you could pay double for. My wife is new to golf and the front tees were perfect for her. The added bonus were all the deer on several holes. We had a great time and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We also had a great lunch. I hope to play this course again the next time we are in Pacific Grove.

Pacific Grove 18 holes

I was paired up with 2 Americans, really friendly. Course was outstanding value for money. First 9 woodland, rather ordinary. Back 9 on water has exceptional views, and great golf holes. Views all the way down Spyglass, Monterey pennisula & Cypress Point. Holes similar to opening few atbSpyglass, but costs less than $350 rate. Overall fantastic value for money, with incredible scenery including deer and the lighthouse. A delight to play.

Great Day of Golf

This course is a hide'n jewel. I have played this course a few times while down in the area. You can't beat the views on the back nine. The price is well worth it every time. I would say add this to your bucket list of course's to play for the player who enjoys having a great time while golfing.

So Beautiful!

I'm a beginner golfer but found that my friend and I were both able to enjoy this course! This was our first time for Pacific Grove golf links. The weather was perfect even at our 4:10PM tee time! The grounds are well kept. Loved the deer roaming all over! The back nine was photo worthy! Beautiful shots of the ocean and rocks. Only lost one ball in the dunes. First time we played 18 holes and were grateful we had a cart! Will play again the next time I'm in this area.

Breathtaking

Pacific Grove is an absolute must play course on our ladies annual Golf Trip to Monterey. We enjoy the scenery, deer and friendliness. Ocean view back 9 has always been a beautiful bonus to our golf play. If we are playing well or not, doesn't matter while playing this course. Looking forward to the next visit. We were out of the Central Valley heat and into the cool coastal weather.

A Monterey Gem

The course was in good condition, with the greens being above average. We teed off ahead of schedule and made it around in under 4 hours. The pro shop help were very polite. We stopped at the restaurant and had a very tasty Albacore tuna melt sandwich. It was a nice golf experience for two for under $100.
