Great course - dont WALK

Waljed first 9 holes. Quite a hike. Better to take a power cart as insteadnif enjoying the course you are basically hiking steep hills.

ALL AROUND AMAZING

Play this course...period. A rare opportunity to play a McKenzie designed course. If your in Santa Cruz, or nearby, you have to get in 18 here. The front is loaded with challenging holes but the back is the real treat. You’ll know what I mean when you see 10 tee after crossing the street. An amazing round of golf all around. Conditions were great. Folks were friendly. Only beef was the inability to grab refreshments at the turn. Staff was occupied with other patrons and we could get served fast enough to keep pace. Otherwise a perfect day.

Great course

We come to Calif twice a year to play golf in Pebble Beach..... but we always play Pasatiempo at least once during our 2 week trip. We always tell our friends to put this course on their must play list

Def. Among the Best courses in the world

This place is unreal. Not a blade of grass out of place. Front 9 is great, but the back nine is simply mind blowing. Phenomenal set of par 3s. Bunkering is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s a tough course, but it is mostly fair to the average golfer.

Excellent Golf Course!

What can I say about this course? It is very difficult and challenging so bring your "A" game. I consider myself a pretty good putter but found that if you're out of position on the greens you'll be in trouble. Anyways it''s good to be humbled every so often and that will happen here. Still I would recommend playing here and for sure I'll be back.

One of the best in the world

This is one of the best golf courses in the world. The green complexes are spectacular and create very challenging and fun/interesting putts and short game shots. The greens were as pure as could be. The back 9 on this course is truly special. Enjoy this classic design and appreciate the fact that the public gets an opportunity to play this Allister Mackenzie gem.
