The course sits on the northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula, where the back nine overlook Point Pinos and the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay.

The Point Pinos Lighthouse stands within the golf links, on the northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean meets Monterey Bay. The back nine, laid out by Jack Neville, overlooks the point, so the lighthouse is in view from several holes.
