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.

fairways are pristine and rough is Ruff

First time playing Del Monte in 30 yrs. The course is in amazing shape! Greens were firm and true. Rough was … well Ruff!!! Great course layout that truly challenges your position play and distance control. The bar & grill had great Smash Burgers! My buddy and I talked about coming back for sure! Thanks Del Monte staff and course maintenance team. A real pleasure to play your course!
