Monterey Hickory Classic

Old Del Monte Golf Course
Monterey, Calif. USA
9/16/2016 – 9/16/2016

Tournament Information

The NorCal Hickory group returns to Old Del Monte for our 3rd annual Monterey Hickory Classic this fall and invites all to join the yearly celebration. Typically the months of Autumn, or what is commonly referred to as our “Indian Summer”, are much warmer than our summers and are the best time of year for the Monterey Bay.

Designed by Charles Maud in 1897 and touted as being the oldest course west of the Mississippi in continuous operation, Del Monte is owned and operated by the Pebble Beach company so you can expect excellent service and playing conditions. While the short course certainly appears easy on paper, Old D is well protected with fast contoured greens and plenty of greenside sand. There is not a single water hazard and very few instances where one can lose a ball, but mature Monterey Pine and Oak strategically dispersed throughout the classic layout, require a plan and good course management to succeed.

The old course is a breeze to walk, flat, with tees only a few steps away from previous green as would be expected with a course built over 100 years ago. The course routing does not return to clubhouse until the 18th hole.

The annual 3-tour First Tee Open hosted at nearby Pebble Beach, is scheduled for this very same week, so expect the city of Monterey and surroundings to be bustling with activities.

We have once again been graciously given a local NorCal rate, which extends to our guests. If you’re in the area and have the time, we’d love to have you join us.
