This classic golf course is arguably one of the top venues in the country. Pasatiempo was certainly one of designer Alister MacKenzie's favorites. The legendary architect made his home off the par-5 sixth hole and regarded the difficult, uphill 16th as one of the best par 4s ever designed by him or anyone else. To make it even better, the golf club embarked on a two-year restoration project headed up by Tom Doak. The result was nothing less than spectacular as bunkers and greens were to returned original specifications with modern turf and drainage technology. With its great design and elevation changes, Pasatiempo Golf Club plays much longer than its yardage and will test good players. The back nine is particularly strong, perhaps as good as any in the country.

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.

Dr McKenzie was a genius!

What an amazing track. Challenging, fair, thought provoking and beautiful from the first tee to the 18th green. Mind blowing greens for which I highly recommend a caddie for a special experience. Price is a little tough but for that occasional treat it is worth it.

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.
