The Pasatiempo golf course is consistently ranked in the upper echelons of the United States' greatest layouts, thanks to the efforts of the revered Dr. Alister Mackenzie. The legendary Scot took full advantage of the enchanting Santa Cruz location, manufacturing a sublime course that winds through the avenues of trees, and between lovely ravines.

The semi-private Pasatiempo club welcomes visitors who are keen to experience the Mackenzie legacy. In fact, it was here that the Scot made his home; the property still borders the sixth fairway. Traditional and mature, Pasatiempo stands out as one of the best golf courses in California, an institution of golf in the United States, where the character and class of the course are a joy to behold.
