Del Monte Golf Course Framed Canvas

Early Del Monte Golf Course aerial, circa 1912, Canvas Reproduction.

The Old Del Monte golf course opened in 1897 and is the oldest continuously operating golf course west of the Mississippi River. Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1897 by Charles E. Maud and expanded to 18 holes in 1902, Del Monte promptly attracted the game’s best players. The course’s Del Monte Championship was so highly regarded that many considered the champion to be the best golfer in the state. When the California State Amateur was founded in 1912, Del Monte was the natural choice to host it. Del Monte was also selected to host the 1916 Western Amateur, marking the first time one of the era’s biggest national amateur events was played west of Colorado.
