Pacific Grove Golf Links
Pacific Grove, CA
Pacific Grove Golf Links, affectionately known as the "Poor Man's Pebble Beach," offers an unparalleled Monterey Peninsula golf experience at a fraction of the cost. This historic 18-hole gem presents a captivating duality, with its front nine, designed by two-time U.S. Amateur champion H. Chandler Egan in 1932, winding through serene, tree-lined parkland. The course dramatically transforms on the back nine, where Jack Neville's masterful design embraces the rugged, windswept dunes and stunning ocean vistas, culminating in breathtaking holes alongside the Pacific. Players are treated to panoramic views of the Point Pinos Lighthouse and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, particularly on its memorable seaside stretches. The overall playing experience is a delightful blend of challenge and charm, recognized by publications like the USGA's Golf Journal for its unique character. With an award-winning clubhouse and a rich heritage, Pacific Grove Golf Links is ideally suited for destination golfers seeking an authentic coastal California golf adventure and locals who cherish its distinctive, accessible beauty.
