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.

lots of houses to whatch out for
Front nine has lots of houses.slow play on the weekends.but mid week is pretty good
A must play course...
This is a must play course. I lived in Monterey for many years and never grew tired of the course. The staff is friendly and the facilities are remarkable. Not your typical "muni-course". Treat yourself a wonderful experience.
Back 9 is very scenic
The course was in good condition. Only problem were the green we're VERY bumpy!! For once the weather was perfect and light to moderate winds. A very enjoyable round of golf!
A true golf treasure
I have played this course often and this year the conditions, particularly the greens, were the best in many years. Some parts of the course, the driving range especially, still need some work, but that does not detract from the enjoyment. Don't let the shortish yardage fool you. The wind and terrain and slope of the greens defend par very well. The back nine is just like a trip to Ireland.
Great back 9
Great course. Greens are pretty flat and in good shape which is nice. The back nine has unbelievable views if the ocean. Prettiest course I've played at
Just a mediocre golf course
Thought it would be much more of a golf course considering the location
WOW!!!
Pacific Grove was my 223rd different golf course played & was by far the best bang for my buck EVER! Friendly staff, perfect greens & course conditions, & the views on the entire back 9 are incredible. When in Monterey checking Pebble Beach & Spyglass off your golf bucket list, be sure to check out this track. I will definitely be back!!!
Great views, great play
The views alone are worth the price to play. The staff was extremely friendly and gave my wife and I an additional discount on an already low priced pair of new golf shoes. We were booked for the earl wise twilight tee time and since we showed up a little early they started us at an even earlier time. I can't wait to play this course again and again!!
Fun course
First time breaking 90, was a great course, good practice course. Liked the open fairways, and nice approach shots.
Great course for the money
The front nine is ok, but the back nine is amazing. Beautiful views of the ocean and interesting holes. This is a great course for the money.
Pebble beach Junior!
This course is the best little gem in the 17 mile drive area. The back nine is the reason why. Built like in 1924. A few holes
on the back is within 100 yards of the Pacific Ocean! We got lucky and had a 73 degree sunny day with light breeze. It can be 60's and very windy. Play here and tell your friends!
Deer Caddies
What a great experience. The front nine wams you up with marrow fairways and you get an idea of the neighborhoods. Then you get the back 9. Ocean...Ocean and more ocean. A great treat for all
Pacific grove
Reasonable course really really busy and no one put to hurry people along course reasonable condition
Fun in the wind
Beautiful day, but WINDY on back 9!
Course was somewhat drier than I expected with it being on the coast, but we are in a drought. Awesome views and accompaniment of deer families everywhere you look. Will return !
Great little course
This course is all about the back nine. They are a great set of holes on one of the most beautiful settings I have ever seen. A lot of dear. You can also see and hear the harbor seals. Just a wonderful experience.
Pacific Grove-Always an enjoyable round
I love everything about PG except the bunkers. They lack sand and what is left has been compacted by overspray from the sprinklers.
resturant under new management and the food was very good.
Great course, great price
The pacific grove golf course is one of the hidden gems of the Monterey Peninsula. Close to great attractions and the friendliest staff. Gavin was especially knowledgable and helpful.
Can't wait to go back.
Cozy, typical muni course in a terrific location with world class views from the back 9.
Have played here in the sunshine and in the fog and it’s all good. You can’t get too worked up about the course conditions when you consider the money and the location. With the drought in CA, the course was in fine condition. The ball runs a long way when the fairway is not wet. We rode but many – maybe most – walked with a push cart. Teed off at 2:50 and finished with plenty of day light at 7:00. Decent to good rental clubs, decent driving range. One small oddity is the pro shop doesn’t announce the tee times and parties. We just showed up at the right time, found our other two-some and took off. Definite go back.
Great golf corse value
This is like the poor man's Pebble Beach. The back nine is spectacular so bring your camera/phone
Beauty and the Beast
Please do not underestimate this course because of the yardage.
The front nine is a little scruffy and tight. The 9th at 213 yards from the white tees and into the ocean wind is a challenge. The back nine is a typical links course with very tight lies in the fairways and lots of sand dunes and native grasses. The course is undergoing an aggressive ice plant removal program to encourage growth of native dune grasses. The exposure of the back 9 to the strong afternoon ocean winds makes one experience Scottish links golf - wonderful.
