Originally designed by Chandler Egan in 1932, the first nince holes takes you through the forested areas of Pacific Grove. Egan's nine takes you through an inland terrain and reflects much of the charm of an English rural course done in the old style.

The back nine was designed by Jack Neville, the original designer of the Pebble Beach Links. It opened in 1960, and is laid out in true links design over dunesland that approaches the sea.

Over looking the course is the Point Pinos Lighthouse. Built in 1855, it is the longest continuously operating lighthouse in California. It is a historical sentinel and picturesque landmark of the golf course.

A scenic tour of the dramatic coastline provides views of Lover's Point, Point Pinos, Crespi Pond and the natural dunesland at Asilomar. You will be enchanted by the abundance of natural wonders such as the plentiful Pacific Blacktail Deer, seals, sea lions, sea otters, pelicans and gulls.

PG muni

They call poor man’s Pebble Beach and for good reason!
9 of 18 on the water and almost all holes heave ocean views. Lots of deer on the course and very not afraid of golfers.
My wife and I played along with our dog, with a cart for 87$!
Pebble Beach is around 5,000.00 for two as you have stay at the for two nights just to play it!
Try it and you’ll have a great time.

Decent course, but…

When the course is moving, it’s perfectly enjoyable, especially the back 9. The problem is that it’s branded as the poor man’s pebble beach, and therefore draws a lot of golfers that may not have the experience to play quickly. When it’s full (which is pretty much all the time), pace of play is brutal, so prepare yourself.

Pacific Gove

Very enjoyable round. Little misty on the front nine but did not affect the enjoyment. Was a single and joined a group of three gentleman and had an absolute blast. Can’t wait to go back.

Golf near the ocean

An amazing experience to play with an ocean view. The forecast called the overcast, but lucked out with a beautiful sunny day.

3’s a Charm

I have played this hidden little gem 3 times, it never disappoints. Fun course. Front 9, all inland, back 9 all coastal views. Fairways & greens all in good shape. They have carts, no push carts, but I prefer to walk anyway. Driving range is a bit away from the clubhouse. Played with a local member, gave good info in the greens. Lots of deer roaming around the course & the views of the pacific coast are awesome. Play was a little slow on the back 9, but that was more do to a young family playing in front of us. I highly recommend playing this course, afternoon rates on GolfNow are great.
