Pasatiempo Golf Club

A cathedral in American golf course architecture history, Alister MacKenzie's Pasatiempo hosts a Fried Egg Golf event for the first time this summer. Our event will be a 27-hole affair beginning at Noon, allowing you to spend a full afternoon and golden hour in one of golf's most serene settings.

Our Event at Pasatiempo is open to anyone to register while space allows. In addition to our Event, we also have an FEGC exclusive Bay-Area Roadtrip that will continue for the following three days. Those spots will be filled via a lottery at registration.

Please see below for full details.

The 2026 Fried Egg Golf Event at Pasatiempo is available to both FEGC members and non-member registrations if spots are still available. FEGC members have a 24-hour early-access period before public registration opens on Wednesday, February 18.

FEGC members interested in the full San Francisco Road Trip, you have two options for the Pasatiempo Event.

1. If you'd like to participate in the event at Pasatiempo regardless of whether you win the lottery for the Road Trip, please register during the early registration period for both the Event and the Lottery for the Road Trip. Those selected for the Road Trip will pay an additional fee separate from that paid for the Pasatiempo Event.

2. If you only want to participate in the Pasatiempo Event if you win the lottery for the full Road Trip, please only register for the Lottery during the early-access period. If you register for the event itself and then WD should you not win the lottery, your registration will be refunded minus a 5% processing fee. Our advice would be to not wait until after you know if you won the lottery to register for the event itself as there may not be additional spots available. Lottery winners will be notified on Thursday, February 19.

Pasatiempo Golf Club - Located in the hills above Santa Cruz, Pasatiempo was the vision of Marion Hollins, who brought on Alister MacKenzie to design the course in a daring example of Golden Age architecture. It bucked many conventions for its time, including its closing par 3, yet still featured MacKenzie's iconic green and bunker shaping. The course is routed on a steep piece of land that features roughly 300 feet in elevation change, but because the Good Doctor's creative routing the course doesn't feel overly taxing. Pasatiempo certainly has its demanding climbs like the iconic par-3 3rd and long par-4 11th, but it also features generous downhill holes and brilliant use of the land. Its back nine is undeniably one of the best in golf, and yet the front boasts some of the most eye-popping holes (and MacKenzie's house). Renovated by Jim Urbina in 2023-2024, Pasatiempo is growing into its third year of its refreshed look and will be a sight to behold come July.

• AIRPORTS - For those who live in a city that flights direct to the Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), that will be your closest option. Most will have better luck flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Both airports are about an hour from Pasatiempo.
• LODGING - The closest lodging to the course is the Inn at Pasatiempo, but you can also stay anywhere in Santa Cruz, including the Courtyard by Marriott and Hampton Inn. For those looking for a more premium stay, check out the Chaminade Resort & Spa in the hills above Santa Cruz.
