Pasatiempo Golf Club

PASATIEMPO GOLF CLUB (Magnificient re-creation by skunky on this course)

Pasatiempo was designed by world-renowned golf architect Alister MacKenzie. Even though MacKenzie also designed Augusta National and Cypress Point, Pasatiempo was his favorite layout and where he made his American home, which still borders the sixth fairway. Today, this historic top 100 course is a semi-private golf club that sets aside certain tee times each day for public play.

A Truly Historic Course

From greens that have challenged generations of golfers including Bobby Jones, Ken Venturi, Juli Inkster, and Tiger Woods, to rich golf history and breathtaking scenery, Pasatiempo delivers a memorable golf experience; it is truly one of the finest championship golf courses in the world. Our course has hosted the Western Intercollegiate for the past 65 years and features the top college players in the world. Pasatiempo has hosted USGA Championships including the 1986 U.S. Women’s Amateur and the 2004 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur.

Made some really nice putts at the end of the back 9 in Rd1 for a -4.
+2 in Rd2 and with 163 greens, they wouldn't want to be any faster. Some diabolical pins on already severe greens. Frustratingly fun!!

I absolutely love Pasatiempo! Skunky gave us an absolute GEM here. I tried to catch ToddZilla (monster of the master tour) I just couldn't get any putts to drop.

Not surprised the 11th green gets 2 out of the 3 shots. It's wicked.
Played a USE round on all the very fast/very hard/v strong wind using 4th round pins just to see if it is still playable at those settings. Was even par going into 18 but 3 pitches in a row ended at my feet in front of the green....the pin was on the edge of a cliff. +3. Totally wicked!!

Love this course architecturally and skunky has done an incredible job planting it, 10/10 and one of my favourite courses in the game.

Unfortunately I played horrendously so won’t be featuring much on the leaderboard!

skunky is there any way you could send me the course file of the final published version please? Really keen to mess around with weather and lighting to see if I can get a low lying fog in play just to see what it would look like. I’ve no intention to publish anything but as a designer I love messing around with the environments in game! I could download the LiDAR but it wouldn’t have the amazing planting that you’ve undertaken

Cheers,

Pat

It is an excellent course and not wanting to be too critical I just found a few pins to be what I would call illegal. Just made it a bit frustrating in the end, but the design and look are fantastic.
