Del Monte Golf Course

Coming from the Central Valley, it was a great experience playing on the coast. The fairways were lush and the greens were challenging. The design of this course doesn’t bring you back to the clubhouse after 9 holes like most courses. They have a cart roaming around with food onboard, but if you want something she doesn’t have, the order must go through her (that’s what I was told) so just plan for that.

Easy on fairways but tough on greens, is what I will summarize my playing at Del Monte. It's really a nice course, the fairways and greens are all well maintained, one thing is that their greens are all slopes, so you either putt incline or decline, need to be very accurate on the speed, otherwise you will easily get 3 putts.

I played this course back in the 80’s and had good memories of my time so long ago and retuning all these years later it was nice to see my memories of this course were still true. It’s a well maintained and beautiful course in the heart of Monterey. The course is moderately challenging with really speedy greens, as many reviews have mentioned. The staff was friendly and efficient and the pace of play was great for us with a 2:00 tee time on a Tuesday. I look forward to returning again and I won’t wait so long this time…
