Pasatiempo Golf Club
publicPasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz is one of California's most celebrated and historically significant golf courses, designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie and opened in 1929 as his personal home course. MacKenzie — who also designed Augusta National, Cypress Point, and Royal Melbourne — considered Pasatiempo among his finest works, and the course's dramatic undulating fairways, deep bunkers, and complex green complexes bear his unmistakable signature. Perched in the hills above Santa Cruz with views of the Monterey Bay on clear days, the course plays through native terrain with natural rock outcroppings and MacKenzie's characteristic strategic design that rewards precise, thinking golf. Pasatiempo is consistently ranked among the top public courses in the United States.
Pasatiempo Golf Club was designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and opened in 1929, the same prolific period in which he designed Augusta National (with Bobby Jones) and Cypress Point. MacKenzie was so taken with the Santa Cruz site that he built his home on the property, where he lived until his death in 1934. The course has been maintained with careful stewardship of MacKenzie's original design intent, resisting the urge to modernize in ways that would compromise his strategic vision. It remains a living monument to MacKenzie's genius.
