AIT/Intern

History

On January 12, 1928, Marion announced she would begin work on a real estate and sports facility consisting of: an 18 hole championship golf course, clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, steeplechase course, bridal paths and a beach club on the Monterey Bay. For the design of the golf course, she secured the services of Dr. MacKenzie. Her goal was to build the best course west of the Mississippi and the result of their efforts is Pasatiempo Golf Club. The location of the golf course was on the hills looking south to the Monterey Bay. The rolling hills of sand made an excellent foundation for the course and the elevation changes provided a natural resource for Dr. MacKenzie to develop his Santa Cruz masterpiece. The course officially opened on September 8, 1929, with the first group to play consisting of Marion Hollins, Bobby Jones (considered the father of modern golf), Glenna Collett (U.S. Womens Amateur Champion) and Cyril Tolley (British Amateur Champion).

Pasatiempo Golf Club just completed a restoration project in December of 2024.  All of the greens and bunkers were restored to their original contours.  

Pasatiempo Golf Club is host to an annual nationally televised event the Western Intercollegiate.
