Alister MacKenzie

Pasatiempo Golf Club

Santa Cruz, CA

Pasatiempo Golf Club, a historic gem in Santa Cruz, California, stands as a testament to Alister MacKenzie's genius. Designed in 1929, MacKenzie himself considered Pasatiempo his favorite layout, even making his American home alongside its sixth fairway. His design philosophy, centered on creating a course that offers constant pleasure to all players, is evident in its masterful routing, strategic bunkering, and innovative two-tiered greens. The course seamlessly blends with the natural undulations of the land, offering breathtaking views of Monterey Bay. Pasatiempo is renowned for its challenging greens, which have tested golf legends like Bobby Jones, Ken Venturi, and Tiger Woods. The 16th hole, with its famously diabolical putting surface, is a signature challenge. Having hosted USGA Championships and the Western Intercollegiate for decades, Pasatiempo is a truly historic course that delivers a memorable and challenging golf experience, making it a must-play for any golf enthusiast.
