Inn at Pasatiempo

Fun to Play an Allister McKenzie course. Closest I’ll get to Augusta!

Course condition ok - greens were much slower than the putting green, fairways cut pretty short, no lush fairway lies, plays long - even from the middle tees (white) there were several par 4’s longer than 420 yards and a couple of long par 3’s. Very expensive for walking - although carts are available at the course for an extra cart fee (which is higher priced than other courses). Also, course is fairly hilly and not the easiest walking round. I got my round at a reduced rate due to booking it the morning of the round and also had a 20% off code - but still the total cost was much more expensive (even for walking) than other high quality courses in the area.whose tee times come with carts. I personally feel the course at Wente Vineyards, the Bridges golf course and Cinnabar golf course are equivalent if not better course conditions and also these all have very interesting layouts - for a much better price point.

It’s a taste of Augusta. Has it own challenges and very well protected with bunkers.

Better practice your bunker shots and commit to it. Or you’re gonna have a bad time. Lol

Love the course

Last played this gem ~30 yrs ago. Hasn't changed a bit. Greens are a great challenge and the layout offers both unique and routine play. Practice your bunker play before you come. Can't wait to do it again...

Had an amazing day at Pasatiempo. The weather was great, and the recently aerated greens putted better than any aerated course I've ever played, and slowed the greens just enough to be able to make a few putts.

Pace of play was a little slow (4h 30m) for a semi-private golf club. I would've expected to get around a little quicker.

Advice:

- Take an extra club on pretty much every par 3. Even the ones that look flat are either deceivingly uphill or played into the wind.

- The par 4 #11 needs two extra clubs, at least.

This course is very challenging, need to have prior course knowledge to stay out of trouble.

Enjoyed my first time playing the course. Will return later.

Really fun course, great staff, a touch over priced at the regular rates which is why it’s a 4 from me. Greens were immaculate and consistent. A much more forgiving course than I was expecting in the fairway department. Really all your trouble is around the green so a good mid-short game can put up a good number.

Great conditions and views of mountains and back drops. Every hole is different. Really makes you get creative and there’s some forgiveness. Greens were great and not as fast as I was expecting. Wish I could play here every day. The range is kinda wack but gets the job done.

I’ve played over 700 golf courses. This is in the top five. Every single hole and every single shot requires thought and precision. My only complaint was that I couldn’t play 36.

Any chance you can play an Alistair Mackenzie course do it

While we were excited to play at Top 100 course, the experience did not meet expectations. While the course itself is nice, we experienced a backup on each and every hole starting on number 1. At one point, we had 3 groups on the 3rd tee box. Not the best time, considering the nearly $300 pp normal rate. It's after calling the shop a marshal finally came out and noted there was extreme backups on the course and voiced his frustration with our wait, however no starter allowed the chaos to ensue. A nearly 3 hour front nine is not a fun experience regardless of where you are playing and the staff just told me their hands were tied and nothing could be done. We also saw at least 2 other groups quit and go in early as nobody was having a good time. Course is overpriced for what it is. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
