Played January 3 in the morning. The course layout is okay. It is a pretty basic course for this area. We were staying at the Hyatt, which borders the course, so it was convenient. The greens were excellent. It had rained really hard recently so the bunkers were inconsistent with several of them in bad shape. The fairways were nice and the rough was a factor. It took careful looking to find the ball a couple of times. The only real negative was how soft the course was after the rains even though it had not rained for at least a couple of days. The ball plugged several times in the fairway and there was little if any roll. I had a good time overall.

My first (and last) time playing Del Monte. Nothing bad about the course, it's just that I have to travel up to Monterey, I don't live there, so I'm looking for something more challenging and pleasing to the eye is all. We playing with the locals in a public shot gun which was fun as we were paired with some great guys from the area. The course is kept in good condition tee to green but you MUST be on the lookout for errant balls coming at you cuz some tee boxes are adjacent to the green you just finished, so you must be on the alert in many areas so you don't get beaned.

Played Del Monte today on an overcast day with little wind. Traditional tree-lined course with no water hazards. The course layout is not spectacular, but the conditions are. Paid $85 for twilight rate which I think is high, but I guess that isn't surprising for a Pebble Beach Resort course. If you like well groomed tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens......then this course is for you. Possibly the best greens I've putted on. One negative.....no driving range.

I haven't played this course in years, but I will say this: everything I remember about Del Monte is that it looks like nothing and it will absolutely put your game to the test. This is truly histori... Continue »

I haven't played this course in years, but I will say this: everything I remember about Del Monte is that it looks like nothing and it will absolutely put your game to the test. This is truly historic golf, and if you play it, you'll see that it endures because it's real golf and a real test of the game. Don't let the seemingly straightforward layout fool you: challenge awaits on every shot.

Have fun and enjoy the oldest course west of the Mississippi!

Great overall course. I'm thinking the green fees are so high since it's related to Pebble. Other than that, I don't see the reason for the high green fees. Would play again if they offered a discount... Continue »

Played Sat. / Jan. 28. Teed off at 1 pm. Somehow got all 18 in. Great course, although fairways were pretty soggy. Greens were small and fast. Sandbunkers (and there are ALOT) were pretty tough to hit out of due to hardness. Teeboxes in great shape. Only saw the marshall once, which was a big problem due to a very slow group in front of us. We finally skipped a hole and went around them. Otherwise, it's a great layout, but don't let the shortness (6,357 from tips) fool you. I'll go back for sure. Next up....PEBBLE !
