Pacific Grove, CA

Pacific Grove Golf Links is a public, city-owned course on the northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula in Pacific Grove, California, often nicknamed the poor man's Pebble Beach for its proximity to that famed course. The front nine, laid out through pine and cypress woodland, was designed by U.S. Amateur champion H. Chandler Egan and opened in 1932 after the Del Monte Properties Company sold the land to the city for a nominal fee. The back nine, added later, was designed by Jack Neville, the original architect of Pebble Beach Golf Links, and runs along open, links-style ground near Point Pinos Lighthouse where the Pacific Ocean meets Monterey Bay. The course plays to a par of 70 over roughly 5,700 yards from the back tees. As a municipal facility, it remains open to the public without membership requirements, and its combination of forested and seaside holes at an accessible price has made it a popular stop for traveling golfers visiting the Monterey area.

Several holes open views toward downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay, giving the back side a strong sense of place. Fox Den Grill is the course's diner-style bar and grill.
