Marion Hollins hired
English golf course designer Alister MacKenzie to design and build Pasatiempo Golf Course, which included an equestrian center with polo fields. The course opened on September 8, 1929 with a celebrity golf match, with
Bobby Jones in the first to play it. MacKenzie claimed that it was his best layout, ahead of even
Cypress Point and
Augusta National, and his American home borders the sixth fairway. Pasatiempo is about an hour's drive from Cypress Point, a
Monterey Peninsula neighbor to
Spyglass Hill and
Pebble Beach. Pasatiempo is a highly rated course — it is ranked 11 in ''Golf Magazine's
"Top 100 Courses You Can Play 2024-2025" and ranked 15 in Golf Digest's
"2025 America’s Greatest Public Courses". Golf Digest'' also named Pasatiempo Golf Club as one of the top 3 "Courses You Can Play in California" (along with Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill). The magazine ranked Pasatiempo 96 in the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S. (private and public)", up 2 places over the 2024 ranking. The course was recreated in the videogames
PGA Championship Golf and
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06. ==Scorecard==
