• Being one of the oldest golf courses in operation, Del Monte Golf Course has been giving golf enthusiasts a run for their money for more than a century. While initially a nine-hole course which was then extended to 18 in 2002, classic charm can be found with old school bunkers and the need for precise shots to score a ride on the birdie bus.
