Pasatiempo Golf Club

What can I say about this course? It is very difficult and challenging so bring your "A" game. I consider myself a pretty good putter but found that if you're out of position on the greens you'll be in trouble. Anyways it''s good to be humbled every so often and that will happen here. Still I would recommend playing here and for sure I'll be back.

This is one of the best golf courses in the world. The green complexes are spectacular and create very challenging and fun/interesting putts and short game shots. The greens were as pure as could be. The back 9 on this course is truly special. Enjoy this classic design and appreciate the fact that the public gets an opportunity to play this Allister Mackenzie gem.

I just love this course. I didn’t play well this time out, but it’s conditions are pristine and The design is FANTASTIC! I wish it wasn’t so expensive but it is definitely worth the green fee on the rare occasions I’m in town.

Pasatiempo is always in good condition but right now they have it in amazing condition. Great round on a great course. Worth the drive no matter where your coming from.

Fantastic golf course. Read Dr. Alister MacKenzie's guide to course design in the club house. I wish all golf course architects would try to adhere to those rules.

Plays much longer then the yardage. Perfect weather when we played and it seemed as if the course was 7K.

Everyone should experience this course at least once.

Pasatiempo deserves ALL the praise it gets - it's fun for all levels of golfers, gorgeous and challenging and so creative. The back nine might just be the best back nine in golf, at least at a course that allows for (some) public play. In particular, holes 10, 11, 14, 16 and 18 are all holes that you'll be thinking about for days if not weeks afterwards.

It's a very walkable course but there IS some holes with a lot of elevation so carts are available. It's consistently ranked in the top-20 public course in the country, and I feel like this is probably rating it too low. There's not a bad hole on the course (even the BRUTALLY long par-3 3rd hole is fairly incredible even as it chews you up and spits you out) and the vibe at the course is perfect.

I can't recommend it enough.

Course and overall facility are in great condition. Greens are fast and very challenging - but not unfair. Rough down at 1-2“ and well playable. Bunkers with no rakes but even in the late afternoon were in good condition.
Very nice weather these days with winds not more than half a club.
Pace of play could have been better. They had marshals on the course but it was a busy day and on a tough course that‘s what you get: 4:45hr for the round.

It's perfect in every way. What a fantastic experience. If you can't play with someone who knows the course, get a caddie. Having someone who knows the pitfalls helps tremendously. The course is tough, but fair.

Enjoy the day at Pasatiempo. Having played it once, its already my favorite course anywhere.

First time playing an Alastair Mackenzie design course and there were certainly Augusta National looks to the holes. Except for the long native grass around a lot of the tee boxes and greens which the member in my foursome noted was un-MacKenzie like. Greens' slow speed caught me off guard but the same member pointed out it's poa annua which gets hairy in the afternoon, but the ball still rolled true.
Not a whole lot of sweeping views except the 1st and 12th tee boxes. But individual hole designs are very interesting with lots of contouring and thoughtful design

This place is unreal. Not a blade of grass out of place. Front 9 is great, but the back nine is simply mind blowing. Phenomenal set of par 3s. Bunkering is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s a tough course, but it is mostly fair to the average golfer.

We love Pasatiempo, but when we played yesterday, the greens were extremely slow. Even our downhill putt didn't roll. The practice green was awesome, but it's totally different than the actual 18 holes greens.

The fairways and rough were in great shape.

Drinking water is available in 3 out of 4 places, 1 location by tee box #14 is not working. And all drinking water is not cold, it would have been nice if we had cold water in a warm day.

This was my fourth time playing Pasatiempo, so I had a game plan going in. I knew what clubs to hit and how to play certain holes. It paid off with a solid score on a course that is sneaky difficult. There are so many challenging par 4s - 1-7-10-11-16 - that it's hard to beat your handicap. The par 5s are beatable, but the par 3s take back whatever strokes you may have gained. They're mean (in a good way).
It's one of the rare courses that I could see myself playing every day the rest of my life. It's walkable, interesting, confounding, historic. A winning combination, for sure.

Pasatiempo is simply a piece of golf history, and a must play!!

MacKenzie built an amazing course that will stand the test of time. Short by today standards, but the greens will give you all you can handle and then some.

Fun course to play, amazing bunkering. I walked the course to get the whole experience, definitely need to be in decent shape.

Pasatiempo is a challenging course, with undulating fast greens, and great views. Unfortunately, today they had a temporary tee on #1, which was a shame. I played with a nice group of players, as we all enjoyed our time on the course.

As great as the weather was today, and the course was in good shape. I do not feel this course is worth its normal rate of $240. I was fortunate enough to play it at a discount of $155, plus $38 for a cart. I believe it’s worth playing at least once, but with Poppy Hills and other great courses nearby...it’s “regular” price is way too inflated.
