Pasa- Heaven on earth!

Pasatiempo is absolutely the hidden gem compared to the Monterey Peninsula. The Alistair McKenzie design and greens are probably the closest I will be to playing conditions similar to Augusta. Greens are perfect and challenging and a huge premium on accuracy. I play here every time I am in the area and get rewarded each time. Perfect course and climate. My only issue yesterday was about a 5 hour round.

Pasatiempo is ranked high for a reason!

The Pasatiempo Golf Club is a must play if you're in Northern California. The fairways and greens are in great shape!. The staff was very friendly and vert helpful! I will play this course again when I return back to the Monterey Peninsula! Thanks.

Absolutely perfect

After hearing so many great things about this course I finally had to try it myself. The whole of the staff was extremely welcoming right from the beginning. I was paired with a member whip was very helpful in guiding me around this masterpiece. The course is in wonderful condition and I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Overpriced, unfortunately

I know this is somehow ranked among the very best semi-private courses in the country but it is definitely not worth the money we paid. When we arrived at 8:30 am the grill was not open and there was no food or drinks available aside from some free granola bars. Practice area was nice with a large green and chipping area and a driving range located down along the first hole. Conditions were excellent and the greens were rolling great. The layout is definitely challenging with nice elevation changes but in the end its just a well conditioned public course running through a nice neighborhood. I understand that being an Alister McKenzie design adds to the price but we would not go back and play it again. We have played several of the top ten public courses in the country. All were expensive and so far this is the only one we felt was not worth the money.

Is it a crime to say that it is OVERPRICE for an AVERAGE COURSE?

I play golf three times a week at multiple country clubs and play golf for work while I travel around the world. I will simply say that I had much bigger expectations and it's also overpriced. Most likely overrated. It was on the bucket list and now that it's done I shall move on.

Poor Maintenance

Played here many times and it's been fantastic. However, this time the maintenance left a lot to be desired. Grass clipping on all fairways and greens were really bad.

Slow greens…disappointing

I was pumped to play Pasa again (it’s been 5+ years). Gotta say I was really disappointed. Same great layout but the greens were running like 8 and the course was pretty beat up. No more ProV1’s at the chipping range. $55 for two doubles at the turn. Disappointed to say the least, especially for that greens fee.

Nicest course in Bay Area

The course is beautiful and challenging. The greens are the best I’ve played in Northern California. The fairway and rough are plush without any weeds or bare spots.

Today was cart path only which is extremely frustrating. Sometimes I would have to carry 4 &5 clubs because I wasn’t sure where my ball was or the lie I had.

Playing with someone who knows the course is crucial. Looking forward to playing again.
