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.

Beautiful views
Lovely views, lots of deer just walking around, enjoyed being pair with another couple.
First of many times at Pacific Grove
I had a fantastic time playing this course. It was my first time and didn't know what to expect. Everyone was very professional and friendly. The gentleman who checked me in went out of his way to make sure I knew who I was playing with. He remembered everyone's names as if all of us were regulars there. It was awesome! Highly recommended and I look forward to going back again.
back nine views
The back nine makes the course worth the price .Ocean views with sand dunes and wind .
Super value and location
Our foursome was treated as if we were at a private country club. the staff was wonderful the food was good the weather was perfect and the views are very nice for $40 on GolfNow we played the course as good as most hundred dollar courses in the area.
Thank you
Always a treat to play here
I have not played PG for a couple of years. The course is in great shape in my opinion.
The greens were exceptionally nice and challenging.
You can't beat the value for a nice course, on the Monterey Peninsula, with great bay views!
I'm playing next Sunday too!
Back nine was great
The condition of the course was fair. The back nine views made the whole experience. The staff was great.
almost pebble
second time playing this course - without fog it's almost the same views as pebble beach and spyglass (from what I've heard) at a tiny fraction of the price - got a $29 afternoon deal to play which made it cheap enough for my wife to come and not have to play when the wind got to be too much. I loved it - perfect Pacific Grove golf weather - ocean view and the lighthouse just pulls it all together. Foursome two groups in front of us were slow and goofy, but that's just sunday luck of the draw.
Play, have fun, repeat.
Keep coming back for more great views on an easy to play & enjoy course!
Great value. Local gem.
Excellent course. Staff was great. Can't beat the price for a round with cart in the area. Look forward to coming back
PB Light?
It's not Pebble, but you feel like it on the back nine with the winds and crashing waves. The course is not difficult unless you make it difficult. Put the driver away. Can be easily played with a three wood. Greens are small, roll nice and in great shape. Inspite of the drought, the course is in decent shape. You enjoy the roll on the fairways. The third hole is a drivable par 4. Great value. Will definitely play it again.
Poor or Smart man's Pebble
Excellent value in an ocean front Course. Friendly staff, nice ocean view restaurant. No driving range. Play summer twilight or Golfnow.com for specials
Take your Golf Now receipt with you
Jarred ?? offered to move our tee time from 3:50 to 3:10 and assured us it would be same price. When we arrived he charged us tee fees plus cart fee, and since I did not have have my receipt with me I was not 100% sure, and could not prove, the cart was included in the Golf Now price. We arrived 40 minutes before our tee time and Jarred told us we would be called up. The first was open for at least 20 minutes but we did not mind waiting for our assigned time. Then, at 3:08 Jarred called up two late arriving foursomes and sent them out in front of us. When we questioned this we were curtly told to go play the back nine. We have golfed here many times before without any issues and intend to go back, but hopefully we will get to deal with a different staff member next time.
Pacific Grove is a treat for any golfer.
We always enjoy the beauty and play at Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course. The scenery on the back nine is unbeatable. We come to this area several times a year and always play Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course.. It's a course that high handicappers can enjoy yet is challenging for anyone. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in one of the more beauty places on earth.
pour man's Pebble beach
Yes it is short but a lot of fun to play. We will play it again and you should play it. I. Would pay the $35
Green&cRt fee just for the view alone.
Poor Man's Pebble Beach
The tee boxes were nice. Unfortunately the course failed to inform that the greens were recently aerated and sanded. Not worth the GolfNow rate. Not once did the course mention the condition of the greens. I have never been at a course that did not post the fact that the greens were recently punched and sanded. All you can do is hope to get close to the hole. Had I have known, I'd of played Bayonet again or Blackhorse who made it public that the greens were recently aerated.
Play this course
The spectacular back 9 makes this track a must-play while in the area. The pace of play was excellent, and the price was right. Super nice staff. This isn't Pebble or Spyglass, but it's also a tiny fraction of their prices and it's a really good time.
Patience is a virtue
There was no deal on our tee time.
We paid regular rate as if we had just walked in "no deals".
The pace was slow !
But still we had a great time . It was as if we were 10 years old again.
This course has personality.
The front 9 plays through a residential area and the back 9 along the ocean front. Some holes have narrow fairways others wide. There is plenty of variety: water and sand hazards, deer grazing in the fairways, and challenging pin locations. A fun course to play.
Views like Pebble
Poor man's Pebble Beach. Great course with an amazing view of the ocean.
Slooooooow
Had to play behind a ladies tournament. I had to wait 10 minutes EVERY SHOT. I finally got fed up and left after 11 holes. Oh, and the greens were just aerated and super bumpy and sandy. I wouldn't have booked the time had I known that. They knocked off a few dollars when I payed in the shop, which was nice, but not enough to justify the conditions AND the super slow pace. It'll be quite a while before I go back there. The one positive is the staff, especially the superintendent Robert.
