Pasatiempo Golf Course

With its breathtaking vistas and challenging design, Pasatiempo Golf Club is a world-class venue for the discerning golfer. Designer Alister MacKenzie, who called Pasatiempo home, regarded the uphill 16th hole as a masterpiece. This par-4 is considered one of the finest holes he ever crafted. To further elevate Pasatiempo's prestige, the club embarked on an extensive restoration headed by renowned architect Tom Doak. Bunkers and greens were returned to MacKenzie's original vision using modern technology. The result is a course that exceeds expectations. Pasatiempo's elevation changes and superb routing make it play much longer than the scorecard indicates. The back nine in particular is widely regarded as being among the strongest in the country, testing even the best players’ shot-making skills. For golfers seeking a championship test blended with natural beauty, Pasatiempo delivers an unforgettable experience. Listed as one of the top 100 golf courses.

At Pasatiempo, every hole is an invigorating test of skill against some of golf's greatest legends. From Bobby Jones to Tiger Woods, our greens have challenged the game's icons for generations. But Pasatiempo is more than a course - it's an experience. Stroll its breathtaking vistas and rich history, host to USGA championships like the prestigious 1986 U.S. Women's Amateur. For over 65 years we've been home to the iconic Western Intercollegiate, showcasing the rising stars of college golf. Pasatiempo's majestic layout and championship heritage make it truly one of the world's finest courses. Come write your own chapter in its storied legacy.

Step back in time to experience the Golden Age of golf at Pasatiempo, one of the rare public courses designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie. With sweeping views of Monterey Bay, rolling hills, and strategic bunkering, Pasatiempo is a masterpiece that exhilarates from the first tee to the unique par-3 finishing hole. Dr. MacKenzie himself lived on the 6th fairway, and his visionary design keeps interest high with each hole. The course meanders through mature trees, barrancas, and ravines for a delightful mix of challenges. After years of wear diminished some of MacKenzie's bold bunkering, architect Tom Doak stepped in for a restoration that revived the course's Golden Age roots. Pasatiempo today remains a testament to MacKenzie's great skill in routing and strategic design. For a one-of-a-kind experience on a true classic, come see why Pasatiempo has long been considered among Dr. MacKenzie's greatest feats.
