I’ve been considering a trip to Pacific Grove Golf Links and would love to hear some experiences from fellow golfers. I’m really interested in:

  • Course Quality: How would you rate the overall condition of the greens and fairways?
  • Playing Experience: What were the most enjoyable aspects of the course?
  • Scenery: I’ve heard it has beautiful views; how much does that enhance the playing experience?
  • Challenges: Any specific holes that stood out in terms of difficulty?
  • Value for Money: Do you feel it’s worth the price, particularly compared to other local courses?

I’d appreciate any insights or details you can share, especially in relation to how it compares to other courses you’ve played. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I’ve played Pacific Grove Golf Links a few times this year, and I must say, the greens are in fantastic shape. The grass is smooth and fast, definitely a highlight of the course.

I totally agree, marcusphelps! The fairways are really nice too—well maintained and make for great drives. Just watch out for the bunkers; they can be a bit inconsistent.

That’s interesting, mitchellkevin. When I played last month, everything seemed uniformly maintained. Maybe they’ve had some issues lately?

I played last week, and while the greens were good, I found several areas in the fairways that were a bit patchy. Not terrible, but noticeable.

6

The bunkers could use some love, honestly. A couple of them were rock hard and filled with too much sand, making it tough to get out. Hoping they can improve that.

For sure, michelle41! I’ve definitely struggled with a few bunkers there. They need to keep an eye on the sand quality to ensure better playability.

I haven’t had issues with the bunkers, but I did notice a couple of bare patches on some fairways. Is it just me or is the grass a bit inconsistent this season?

I think it varies month to month, ymcdonald. I had a great time on the greens, but my friends have mentioned similar concerns with the fairways as you.

10

I wonder if some of the issues are weather-related? The course can be pretty challenging, but that’s part of the fun! What’s everyone’s thoughts on the overall playability?

11

I think it’s still a great course, with tons of character. Just keep your expectations realistic—great for a casual round, but not like Pebble Beach!

I love that attitude, raymondanthony! Just think of it as an adventure. Whenever I get stuck in a difficult spot, I just joke around with my friends—they make excellent caddies! Haha!

I visited the Pacific Grove Golf Links last week and was impressed by the staff’s friendliness at check-in. They really made me feel welcome!

14

I totally agree! The staff is super professional. They went out of their way to assist me during the game, which made my experience unforgettable.

15

I had a different experience—while the staff was friendly, the check-in process felt a bit disorganized. I think they could streamline it more.

That’s a valid point, but I felt the overall atmosphere was casual and enjoyable, which helped offset any minor issues.

Has anyone tried the services at the clubhouse? I heard they have great food and drinks! I’m curious if the staff there is just as friendly.

18

Absolutely! The clubhouse staff are amazing! They even remember my name every time I visit. It’s a nice touch!

While I think the staff is generally good, I felt a bit ignored when I asked a question at the pro shop once.
