Opened in 1897, Del Monte™ Golf Course is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi. Designed by golf and polo enthusiast Charles Maud, this inland course boasts a meandering, hilly layout that has challenged golfers for more than a century.

It was the original host of the California State Amateur-still played on Del Monte's narrow, tree-lined fairways and small,well-protected greens-and continues to serve as one of the three courses on which the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational is played.

Adjacent to Del Monte™ Golf Course, the Del Monte Pavilion offers an inviting outdoor setting for any special event. Whether you are hosting a corporate outing or a tournament awards ceremony, all events are impeccably catered by the Lodge at Pebble Beach.

Excellent Condition

Haven’t played here in ages-over 25yrs so a treat to come back……even though I didn’t remember any holes. The course is in great condition and the greens are very fast, which I like. Staff super friendly and we played in under 4hrs. I’ll be back!

very good management - fairway & green!

fairway, greens are well managed!
typical flat golf course, looks cozy and easy, but difficulty is in rather small greens. -- one of the best public golf course, 90/100!^^
enjoyed this old, historical golf course!
hope the green fee would be lower 20%^^

great place to play

The course seems to have weathered our nasty winter well. Lots of maintenance going on, but never got in the way of play.
