Pacific Grove Golf Links Restaurant Bar Grill NOT TO MISS
May 2023 • Friends
When in Pacific Grove do visit the public course bar and grill. Excellent and they serve all day breakfast until 3:00 and Bar Bites until 7:00. Such a cozy easy setting in PG public course. Do not miss Pacific Groves Golf Links.

Supports community
Sep 2022
Beautiful course and very fun to play. Deer greet you on the green and the back nine is full of amazing ocean vistas. Staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. The course supports it's community in a variety of ways- they host their local middle and high school golf teams and are very welcoming of youth who play respectfully and are genuinely interested in learning the sport.

Poor Man's Pebble Beach
Jul 2022
This is the Poor Man's Pebble beach with beautiful views and deer galore. You will be happy with the course layout and the price ($95 to ride on a Friday) but the greens do leave a lot to be desired. Slow and sluggish greens that appear to be mowed every 3 days or so.

Things changed at #11
Jun 2022 • Friends
Played Del Monte in the morning and this place was our choice hoping to get a nice sunny day so we could enjoy the views. I thought the front nine was boring and nothing to write home about. Course conditions were satisfactory. Greens were in excellent shape but many parts of the fairway could use some watering. Bunkers? I was not once in them so really didn’t pay attention to its condition. Hit hole #11 and the vibe absolutely changed. The brown spots on the fairway didn’t seem to matter because for seven holes the scenery was breathtaking and it was all worth it. I’l love to play #11 through #17 over and over again. I’d come back simply for the views.

LOW QUALITY FOOD
May 2022
This is a terrible restaurant, over priced and low quality food. They close the bathrooms at 3:00 pm leaving the golfers who finish after that with no facilities!

The city of Pacific Grove made a big blunder by giving the food concession to this disaster. Avoid on your trip to Monterey.

Just okay
Jul 2021 • Friends
I play a lot of golf all over the place. People say a lot of great things about Pacific Grove, but I don’t see it. It’s a short course that’s pretty easy. The only thing that gives it a little bump is the ocean views on the back nine. Other than that the course isn’t that interesting.

The conditioning was decent, though rough around the edges like most muni courses. The greens were a little bumpy, but looked nice.

I thought the course was fun to play, but the consensus in our group of golfers from all over was that this would be the worst course in our respective towns. Take away the ocean and it’s pretty average.

What a fantastic public course
Jul 2021
This is a public course? WOW! Front 9 in through homes, etc but in great shape, so many deer out there. Cross the street to 10 and you tee off near the light house. The back 9 all on the beach and ocean, Fantastic condition. Cant wait to go back !

Don't Miss an Opportunity to Play Here
Oct 2020
Love this place...especially the back 9! Wow...what beauty. Saw deer all over the course just like at Pebble. Every hole on back 9 has ocean views. Windy and cold so be prepared. 17th hole right on the 17 mile drive. What a bargain to play here. Front 9 very basic but back 9 makes it iconic! Dont miss it!!!

Play amongst the deer and the ocean - beautiful experience
Oct 2020
The first nine holes greet you with deer grazing. It's absolutely beautiful. The last nine holes are by the ocean. It does get cold and windy so be prepared. Also, you'll be put in groups of 4 (if your party is less than 4) so an individual player will need to join a group of 3 other players. Players and staff are very polite and friendly esp the folks making the tee time reservations - awesome customer service.
The greens can do with a bit more care and maintenance. Can't beat the price and the wonderful staff though.
Will definitely be back. We drove 1.5 hours to play this course and liked it alot!
