That being said, I have been coming here at least once a year for past 7 years and is truly a Golf outing like no other. The front 9 plays more traditional, winding through the neighborhood with some decently challenging holes beacuse of the pin placement, and trees. The back 9 becomes an entirely different course, with holes providing majestic views of the ocean crashing onto rocks, no trees, but wind ,and wild out of bounds areas. One of its nicknames is poor mans Pebble Beach, the cost of a round with cart ona weekday ran me just over a $100, which is worth every penny. Carts are standard types, but have no onboard GPS. People working in the Pro Shop were friendly. Only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars, is the on site restaurant has closed since my last visit, so there was no food, or a beverage cart .

A Fantastic Time at Tipsy Putt -- And Those Wings! We had…read moresuch a GREAT time at Tipsy Putt! From the moment we walked through the doors, I knew we were in for a good time. We were greeted by Lexi at the front desk, and WOW! She was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be at work. You very seldom see this kind of customer service these days, and Lexi made an immediate impression on us! She wasted no time giving us the scoop on everything Tipsy Putt had to offer. We headed downstairs and played golf for about half an hour. Let's just say we worked up an appetite, especially after all the laughter over our golfing skills! When we were ready for food, Lexi was there again, happy to walk us through the menu and tell us about the many drinks they offer. I ordered a strawberry something-or-other that I wish I could have another one of RIGHT NOW! We all ordered drinks and were very impressed with the variety of options on the menu. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! After stuffing our faces with some of the BEST barbecue wings I've had in a long time, I have to say they were even better than Wingstop! ....And that's saying something! My buddies enjoyed tacos and pulled pork sandwiches, and we were all very happy with our choices. Lexi shared that the cooks really enjoy preparing the food, and I believe it! Everything came out tasting like it was cooked with LOVE. I'm already looking forward to going back, and it won't be long! Please tell Lexi we said HELLO, and that we'll be seeing her again soon. She helped make our visit extra special, and that kind of service deserves to be recognized. And as for those barbecue wings? They're CALLING MY NAME RIGHT NOW! Thanks, Tipsy Putt, for a wonderful time, great food, delicious drinks, lots of laughter, and an employee like Lexi who makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. See you soon! Angel

What really made this place stand out was all the entertainment! They have mini golf and other mini games, so you can eat, have drinks, and actually make a whole night out of it.

Definitely a great place for a date night, anniversary, or just a fun night out with friends. I'd absolutely come back!

Joe who was the starter was…read moreespecially friendly - taking care of loading my bag into the cart and also noticed that my lunch bag was draped around a hybrid. I came back to my cart pleased that the bag was placed nicely in the compartment for personal belongings. The Duke's membership makes this place more worth playing. Theoretically, most people will probably get the membership for discounts at Spyglass and Spanish Bay, but Del Monte is a nice, laid back type of place for when you want a different vibe than the courses in the Pebble Beach area - to me I probably wouldn't drive a few hours to go play there for $130 but with the Duke's it's $56-72. The condition is still very good, but you'll just see a lot more weeds in the rough - this is pretty intentional by design and I actually can't believe this is the oldest golf course in operation west of the Mississippi River. In general, stay out of the rough as it grabs your clubs. It can also be difficult to find balls if you lose it in the rough. Sand is firm and takes well to shorter swings. Some green complexes have shelves so your approach needs to hit the right portion of the green. Food wise there's usually one person taking orders and running out the food and bussing tables (which they shouldn't as you should definitely bus your own table due to the available large trash bins and tray return). In other words, you may have to wait a few minutes before they return to the counter to take your order. Food is okay - smash burger was tasty but the bun is too soft and was a soggy mess. The chicken curry salad sandwich could use a little more curry powder but was definitely a way better experience than the smash burger. The person driving the beverage truck didn't even stop to ask if we wanted anything. I was sizing up my shot and they sped past before I could get a chance to flag them down. Overall, a good stop to use your Duke's club benefits (credit for food/beverage, discounted green fees, free round of golf for you and guest including cart, guest passes) and affordable with a relaxing vibe.

Pro shop staff were great and helpful, paid $25 less than what I was expecting which was great. Let me start by saying this. When you come to a place like this golf course, as soon as you pay grab your cart and bag etc and immediately go see the starter. Check in with them. Our starter, an older gentleman seen we were about 90 minutes early to our tee time. We went to the range etc and upon just putting, he seen us and said we could go right now if we were ready which was almost 40 minutes ahead of schedule. He gave us some pointers etc on the course which helped a ton. The course had our 4 some completed in 3.5 hours of play. The course was in unbelievable shape and the greens were as hard as they get next to probably a US Open. What a great challenge and can't wait to come back here again.

We played both Bayonet (day one - 1:30 pm tee time) and Black Horse (day two - 10:40am tee time)…read more Beautiful courses; great fairways and greens were rolling true (at 11). Biggest complaint there is the slow play. Bayonet we played the round 5:15 mins and Black Horse we played that round 5:30 mins. We were 55 mins behind pace of play when we got to hole 18 and had to wait on the tee box. We waited on average 10mins on each tee boxes and No Marshalls to be seen on either days. We called the club house when we played Black Horse on hole 5. They never showed up. Would I recommend these courses to play? Yes, but get an early tee time.

Although it's on the Del Monte Forest side and no Ocean holes, the course is still beautiful and challenging with a mix of long and shorter holes, with sloping fairways, lots of bunkers, and difficult greens where you need to be strategic on approach shots, so it helps to play here a few times to get used to them. The course was in terrific shape today and pace was very good...finishing in a 4.5 hour round despite our group having lost a few balls along the way in the woods or thick native areas. I will say there were a few changes since I last played and I didn't remember it having so many waste bunkers everywhere the last time I came, which was at least 7 years ago. Although many people walk, I enjoyed having a cart because it's a rolling course and it can be quite a walk on a few holes to the next tee. I do wonder why they still don't have GPS on their carts. I would also suggest that they add some EV car chargers in the parking lot. Many of us drive 2 hours or more to get here so it would be a nice touch to be able to charge up the car a bit during a round, or while having a beverage or two in Porters before hitting the road! It's been too long since I last visited and I won't wait that long again for sure!

Flew into Monterey, felt like stepping off a private jet onto the tarmac, this is how the 1% lives. We golfed at Pebble Beach (bucket list) one day and Spyglass the second day (another bucket list item). The golf was picture perfect, the 18th hole on Pebble right along the ocean, drives to remember for a lifetime. Both courses were beautiful and everything was first class all the way. You are assigned a caddy, just like the pros, really fun. I think these guys make more than doctors, big dollars fall into their hands, but they make it enjoyable and fun. This is the kind of trip you dream about and it did not disappoint. The restaurants were 5 stars, ribeyes/steaks and seafood every night, even the breakfast spot we went to in the morning was amazing, cinnamon rolls the size of dinner plates. The Hotel had a gym that was better than many gyms you pay a membership for, new, huge, great equipment, great views. A spa with a steam room, locker room and showers, wood lockers, old money style, Just the way you picture it when living it up. Every dream sports car/luxury car parked in front of the hotel. My four stars is not anything to do with the experience, I would not trade it for the World and am very, very grateful for the opportunity to experience it. The golf, the hotel, the service, the restaurants, etc. first class all the way. Where I struggle a bit is just the excess here and the expense of a trip like this, I would have never spent this kind of money if it was not connected to building a Business relationship. I spent Easily over $30,000 for us all. Amazing, but excessive. Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful course. Much more difficult than Pebble was! Once in a lifetime opportunity…read more Unfortunately the Marshals were rushing us the whole time. There were three of us in carts, with a walking solo that joined us. I'm not a strong golfer but everyone else in our foursome was crushing it. Despite my lack of skill? We weren't playing slow at all. After the fourth time that the marshal pressured us to hurry up we asked what the suggested rate of play was - we were told 4.5hr for 18 holes. That was EXACTLY the pace we were playing at. It was cart path only, so 4.5hr felt like we were hustling the whole time. We took over 5hr at Pebble and didn't have anyone harassing us about it. At the Turn we were getting a drink/snack/using the restroom. One person from our group was still trying to use the bathroom (one of the bathrooms was closed for cleaning at the time) and the marshal told me to drive ahead and tee off - rushing us, again - and said that he would bring our friend up to the tee in his (the marshals) cart.. he didn't do it. Our friend had to walk from the turn to 10. Would have gone a long way if the marshal had acknowledged this or apologized, but nope. So by 'once in a lifetime' I mean that I will personally never play Spyglass Hill again. I sincerely look forward to coming back to Pebble Beach and playing some of the courses around here, but for me? Spyglass wasn't it. They really made us feel like all the money we spent wasn't as important as the money that the twosome behind us spent. For people that play VERY fast and have some skill, I'm sure you might enjoy it. For people like me who are trying to enjoy themselves with their friends and family, maybe look elsewhere.

They charge $25 per person, unlimited balls. A little pricey compared to the other driving ranges around but worth the try since we were in the area. There's a limit to how far you can hit your ball (180 yards) because it's not a big enough space and there are houses nearby. The pro shop looked well stocked with golf clothes, footwear, accessories. I'm sure there were golf clubs (I didn't really look, but I'm pretty sure I saw some bags). Lastly, they have strict dress code- both at the course and at the range- no denim, no t-shirt's, no sweats. Didn't know this prior to coming here.
