Monterey, CA · 4.3 mi away

Del Monte Golf Course in Monterey, California, opened on May 1, 1897, as a nine-hole layout designed by Charles E. Maud for guests of the Hotel Del Monte. It was expanded to 18 holes by 1903 and remains on its original site, making it the oldest golf course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River. The course hosted early West Coast championships including the Del Monte Cup and the 1916 Western Amateur, and its tournament helped inspire the California State Amateur, founded in 1912. Now operated by Pebble Beach Resorts, Del Monte is public and known for small, sloped, old-style greens and a compact routing that plays around 6,365 yards.

Monterey, CA · 4.6 mi away

Laguna Seca Golf Ranch is a public course on York Road in Monterey, California, near the Laguna Seca recreation area on the Monterey Peninsula. The 18-hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr., known for elevated tees and bunkers positioned around most greens. The layout measures 6,226 yards and plays to a par of 71, with a championship slope rating of 129 from the back tees; uphill dogleg holes and water hazards on several holes add to the challenge despite the modest yardage. Amenities include a 13-acre practice facility with more than 20 hitting stations, a golf shop, and a restaurant with patio dining. Walking is permitted and the course is open to the public year-round, weather permitting.

Carmel, CA · 5.8 mi away

Carmel Valley Ranch Golf Course is an 18-hole resort course in Carmel, California, set in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains along the Carmel Valley. It was designed by Pete Dye and opened in the early 1980s, with the front nine running along the flatter valley floor near the Carmel River and a more dramatic, hillier back nine that includes steep drops into the valley on several holes. Gene Bates led a renovation completed in 2007 that restored bunkers and turf while keeping Dye's original routing and green sites intact. The course winds past vineyards, lavender fields and oak groves and is operated as part of the Carmel Valley Ranch resort, open to guests and outside play.
