About Pacific Grove Golf Links
Pacific Grove Golf Links first opened in 1932 and has served visitors and local players for more than 75 years. The 18-hole layout is split in character: the front nine runs past cypress trees with occasional views of Monterey Bay, while the back nine moves along the coast through windswept dunes in the manner of a traditional Scottish links.
The property includes a recently built clubhouse and golf shop, along with the Point Pinos Grill, combining the course's long history with newer facilities. The course accommodates both newcomers to the game and experienced tournament players.
