Pasatiempo

Excited to play because of architect (MacKenzie) and history. A couple quirky holes, a good set of par threes, and #16 is unbelievable, esp. the green! a one and done oppotunity for me!

Great Course Horrible Pace of Play

This course is highly overrated given the $400 price tag. Cart path only for starters made this long round even longer. Putting 5 pack members in front of us made it unbearable. When we complained to the pro shop at the turn, their response was “they are members”. When we complained to the marshal we were told that they were playing on pace despite our GPS saying we were 24 minutes behind pace. The course itself was in great shape. The greens were hard and fast and the bunkers were raked and groomed and very consistent. If it were not for the pace of play, the arrogant 5 pack members 2 holes behind that refused to let us play through, it would had been a great round.

Excellent course!

One of my favorite courses in California! Even with all of the rain the fairways were in excellent condition. Amazing design!

Back nine only

Back nine only, had to play it twice, due to front nine being closed down.

Paid 515.00 for two, back nine only.

What;'s your point? The course is undergoing a well-publicized rennovations the green complexes. This fact is hihglighted on the club's website. Regardless, you got to play the most iconic holes on the course twice at a significant discoumt to the 18-hole rate as of Spring 2023. 3 star rating? C'mon, man! We all know you were ball-in-pocket on holes No. 11 and No. 16. Forget about it! Pasatiempo is a masterpiece Why don't you come back in 2024 to play the full course after the renno is complete? Then you can pay full freight, which will probablly be $400+per man, or~$3.85/stroke in your case (not incl tax).

Played on a wet & windy day. Standing water on fairways & many greens after the atmospheric river weather had passed through. Still enjoyed a very challenging round of golf. $40 per person for cart (with no golf bag cover for rain) was very steep adder to golf pricing

Awesome

I’ve been coming to Pasatiempo since I played junior golf in the 70’s (ok I’m an old) The course is one of my favorites in the world and never has once left me disappointed. I have recommended it to so many friends playing the Pebble Beach area and everyone of them has come back marveling at the layout and conditions. It’s not to be missed if you are in the area
