General Tips to play Pasatiempo Golf Club
In typical Alister MacKenzie fashion, the greens at Pasatiempo Golf Club are Challenging! Take your time when putting and always make sure to get a perspective from all sides of the putt when lining up your putts. Pasatiempo Golf Club is located only a few miles from the ocean, so wind is usually a factor here. Because of the elevation changes on most of the holes accurately determining how the wind will affect your ball flight is a must (especially on the elevated tees).
The greens at Pasatiempo Golf Club are Poa Annua, which means that there will be a minor grain influence on your putts, use the Caddytips™ to help determine which way the grain is pulling. Because of the difficulty of the greens you’ll have to use your imagination when chipping and pitching. Caddytips™ feels that the two most valuable shots on these greens is a high lofted lob shot (most likely with a sand or lob wedge) and a pitch and roll* (most likely with a sand wedge). *By using a higher lofted club when hitting the pitch and roll you should be able to impart a little spin on the ball, which will help on fast greens like the ones at Pasatiempo Golf Club.
THE KEY TO SCORING AT PASATIEMPO GOLF CLUB: This course is all about positioning, not length. Because of the slope on the greens you have to approach from the right angle, use the Caddytips™ to help position yourself off the tee. More importantly will be your approach shots into the greens, if you short side yourself you’ll be faced with a lot of long putts to save par, don’t be greedy, the middle of the green is always a good bet here. Pasatiempo Golf Club has undergone a major restoration bringing the course back to the original design of Alsister MacKenzie, even if you are familiar with the course use the Caddytips to note the changes to the golf course.
Here is a snippet from the Caddytips from Pasatiempo Golf Club:
Hole 18
Downhill over the ravine – par 3 – 181/157 yds.
Tee shot: This shot will play 1 club downhill, but is all carry as there is a ravine and steeply sloped rough short of the green. The hole is also protected by two bunkers long. The green slopes steeply from back to front and is 31 paces deep. The renovation added a significant amount of square footage to this green as well. Take enough club to carry a shot to the center of the green and make a smooth swing.
Green: Slopes steeply from back to front and slightly from left to right. The grain on this green will pull slightly from back to front.
