Course History:

The Del Monte Course at Pebble Beach is one of the oldest courses in California. It first opened in 1897 and has since become an institution. Charles Maud designed this course which is known for its wandering fairways and challenging level of play. Golfers always come back to this course to give it another chance. Novices however may find this to be the easiest of the three golf courses at Pebble Beach, but that’s only when comparing them. It’s a challenging course but the scenery makes it very worthwhile.

What You Need to Know:

There is a dress code here, and you will need to wear a collared shirt and trousers. PGA rules are strictly enforced. This course is home to numerous tournaments and its always a good idea to go observe before playing this course. You can learn a lot by watching how other players handle the narrow fairways and challenging greens.The pro shop is fantastic here and the Del Monte Bar and Grill serves some incredible food. It’s open for breakfast and lunch all year round and is well worth the trip.

Playing Hints:

The first hole is a great start and the par five is pretty easy to attain. It’s a straightforward hole, but you’re going to want to stay as close to the center of the fairway as you can. The sixth hole is a par three that looks very easy but it’s simple to miss the green. Try underdoing your drive just a bit to avoid this problem.The tenth hole is going to require an iron approach if you want to be accurate. It’s best to try for par on this one instead of going for the birdie unless you are a pro. Otherwise you can quickly end up way over par. The fourteenth hole is one of the original holes that hasn’t changed much since 1897. Keep in mind that the green really slopes, even though it doesn’t look like it at first.The seventeenth and eighteenth holes are real killers, so save up your strength to tackle these. Once again, accuracy and placement are the keys if you want to par these holes. It’s best to err on the side of caution here.
