Del Monte is a landmark course that has played an instrumental role in popularizing golf out West since its inception in 1897. The birthplace of the California State Amateur and the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi retains much of that classic charm today, challenging the game’s best golfers with its small, sloping, old-school greens. Nearby golf attractions consist of Pebble Beach Resort, Quail Lodge, Bayonet and Black Horse, Pebble Beach Golf Links and Poppy Hills.
The venerable layout brings out of bounds into play on more than half its holes and puts a premium on placing the ball below the hole with well-bunkered greens that are often pitched strongly from back-to-front. Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1897 by Charles E. Maud and expanded to 18 holes in 1902, Del Monte promptly attracted the game’s best players. The course’s Del Monte Championship was so highly regarded that many considered the champion to be the best golfer in the state. When the California State Amateur was founded in 1912, Del Monte was the natural choice to host it. Del Monte was also selected to host the 1916 Western Amateur, marking the first time one of the era’s biggest national amateur events was played west of Colorado.
Relatively flatter than Spyglass Hill and featuring less water hazards than the other Pebble Beach Golf Courses, Del Monte is a fantastic way to kick-start a golfing trip to the Monterey Peninsula. As is standard for every golf course in the area, Del Monte is immaculately kept and has preserved some tough shots that reflect as surprise bogeys on scorecards. These surprises come in the form of doglegs flanked by gnarled trees and sprawling bunkers that pepper the course. This creates a deceptive layout that will result in a bad scorecard if caution is not used. That being said, it is an easier course to contend with compared to the others in the area mainly due to the fact it has much more protection from the wind than the Pacific-side courses.
