If you're going to Monterey for the coastal courses, Del Monte won't come up on your radar screen. It's an inland, parkland style course east of US 1 near the airport. It's owned and operated by the Pebble Beach company, but don't let that entice you to play here, because it's nothing like Pebble, except that it's expensive. It's a very old course, designed by Charles Maud in 1897, plays to 6300 yards, 127 slope from the Blue tees. The course is challenging to play with tight tree lined fairways, playing to small, well bunkered greens. It's been updated in recent years and is always well maintained. If I was here for a week, after playing the rest of the notable courses in the area, I'd add Del Monte.

You look at the course and you think you can overpower it. Thing is, it's a tricky little course that requires finesse. The greens are tiny, with a good amount of slopes and well bunkered greenside. It's tight, you have to be able to control the spin on your wedges. It's a fun little golf course, where you want to make birdies, but end up doubles.

We played Del Monte on a trip to Monterey to play Pebble and Spyglass, and it was the most reasonable priced course we played. The course was in good shape, just reeks of history, and is an easy course to walk as we took caddies as the tees and greens are right next to each other. Fair off the tee, unless you're really off line, the greens were in good shape, and the pace of play wasn't bad either at 4 1/2 hours
