The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The oldest continuously operating course west of the Mississippi (1897) and the original "Del Monte No. 2" predecessor of Pebble Beach itself. A quiet, walkable, old-school inland routing with tight corridors and small greens framed by oak and Monterey pine, an underrated, history-soaked round that pairs perfectly with the bigger Pebble Beach Resort courses.
Consistently praised
- Genuine turn-of-the-century history and walkable, compact routing.
- Small, well-defended greens that demand position more than power; considered the best value within the Pebble Beach Resorts portfolio.
Worth knowing
- Modest yardage and inland setting; anyone expecting ocean drama will be disappointed.
Golfers recommend
- Book it alongside a Pebble or Spyglass round to round out a multi-day trip.
- Walk it; the course was built to be walked and the routing rewards it.
