PG is always an enjoyable track. Course starts out out with two par 3’s then a driveable par 4 on the 4th hole. Front nine is set in a tight wooded scene with several looks at the ocean from a few blocks above. Hole 9 is a 220 yard par three that plays directly into the wind.
The back 9 is set right on the ocean and winds around the lighthouse. Gone are the tree lined fairways of the front with sand dunes guarding the edges of the fairway. The beauty of being right on the ocean comes with a price, as the wind will now be a factor in almost every shot on the back nine.
Hole 17 is a short iron par 3 with the ocean directly on your left and a forced carry over a pond in front of the green. It doesn’t get any more beautiful and fun than that!
Greens are small but roll smooth and are soft, easily holding approach shots. Fairways are in very nice shape as well. Tee boxes were a little thin on a couple of the par 3’s but were divot free.
Customer service is great in the pro shop. Course does have a range and carts have a USB port for charging electronics but do not have GPS. Probably because GPS devices frequently don’t work at this course. I believe it has something to do with interference from the lighthouse. Be prepared for your electronic device distance device not to work here.
Restaurant has a great view but that’s the extent of it. Food is way overpriced and garbage.
Overall, PG is a super fun course at a very reasonable price.
Ernie Banks was fond of saying “let’s play 2”. So after I checked into the hotel, I did just that.
Love this course. Great location, great staff, great food and great golf. Play into the woods and then play along the ocean (like playing Spyglass but at a way less expensive price IMO). Tee boxes were all fine. Fairways were good and provided decent lies and roll. Bunkers were all playable and no complaints. Rough was playable on the front and back (except for that d%mn ice plant). Greens were very nice and playable, as well as consistent.
Great place to have a snack/beer (maybe 2) after an afternoon round and watch the sunset.
Great customer service.
Yes the area is known for better known courses, but you won’t be disappointed if you play here.

Pacific Grove, CA Reviewed by: rgm2525, chatsworth
Played 1-29-17 early morning walking as a threesome in a little over 3 hours for $53.
This course is like playing two different courses, front 9 is a tight tree lined course and the back is wide open in the dunes by the ocean.
Tee boxes were mostly in good shape and semi lush. Fairways were very lush with not much roll mostly because of the recent rains. Rough was thick and wet on the front and low and dry on the back. Greens were in good shape on both sides rolling medium speed and semi smooth.
Fun short course with some great views especially on the back.

Played on 9/10 with a foursome. Tee time was 7:30am, but we didn’t go off until 7:40. We thought we were in for a long round, but after the first two par 3s everything just opened up. Finished just under 5 hours, which isn’t bad considering 2 of the guys I played with aren’t very good golfers.
Fairways were in great shape, as were the greens and tee boxes. Rough had thick parts and then thin parts, but overall was good, especially around the greens. Was never in a bunker, but the sand dunes on the back nine had that fine beach sand. The front played away from the ocean and more in some houses, and the back played literally on hwy 1 and the beach. On a clear day I’m sure the views are awesome. Overall the course is very short and pretty straightforward, but fun nonetheless. Call ahead when you’re on 8 and order a breakfast burrito from the restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.
This was my first time playing golf on the peninsula, but I feel that PG will be on my list for my next visit.

Worth the Green Fee 2016 for Central California – Pacific Grove Golf Links
I plays this course about a week ago from when I am writing this review.
This course is one of my favorite courses I have played! I won’t go into a hole by hole description like I typically do with most of my reviews, since I’ve only played this course once and the others numerous times.
The front 9 runs through the trees and neighborhood, and has a lot of elevation changes, and opens with two Par 3s, which is interesting, then two Par 4s and then two Par 5s and then two more Par 4s and then a long Par 3. The front 9 is tree lined, like I said earlier, and there is quite a few blind shots, knowing this course can help out a bit. But the front 9 was very fun. This course isn’t that long, so for longer hitters it can be really fun to hit a lot of wedges into greens. The greens were great! Ran true all day, not really any ball marks and they said they weren’t going to punch this Spring, which worried me but they were great!
The back 9 is the bread and butter of this course, and is where they get the name, Poor Man’s Pebble Beach. The firsr hole is a short Par 3, but then the rest of the back is nearly on the ocean. We picked the most picture perfect day you could play. Slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky. The hardest part of this side of the course was the dunes, and the blind shots you have to hit, again course knowledge is important but I noticed myself trying to see what was coming up next before I played a hole, since these holes run all next to one another.
For the price, this course was practically a steal!!! A round, a cart, and range balls, were 75 bucks. The Pro Shop attendant was super friendly! Was just a great all around day of golf! 75 bucks compared to 500+ I’ll take the lesser and play more! Even though Pebble is still in the works!
Why Did We Expand the Regions?
It’s simple. Greenskeeper.org has been growing. We expanded the number of regions because golfers like you have reported about golf course conditions in more places you play. In short golfers come to us if they want informative, relevant golf course reviews and it’s all due to your, our GK Community’s, diligence. You let us know your experiences and well if we hear about it everyone else does too.
Why so Many Regions?
Golf is an experience and every experience is unique. Different golf courses offer different experiences. What we look for in golf course reviews offers a little insight into every golf course we play. Not just one point of view but many, and by providing many different points of view you get a clearer picture of what each golf course has to offer. To that end we felt it necessary to provide regions with their own highlighted golf course. Local players can enjoy the fact there is a great facility they can play just around their corner. Golfers looking to experience new golf courses can play these and experience first-hand these unique golf experiences. Put simply, we allow not just your high-end. daily fee courses to shine but the local municipal as well. They all deserve a fair shot and they all deserve to shine.
Look for additional Golf Course highlights from our Worth the Green Fee for 2016.
