Strategic Insight

Members only

Expected cut line+9 (low half and ties)After 36 holes

Strength of field

The 2025 edition drew an 86-player field including Saint Mary's College golfers who swept the top two spots, demonstrating the event's appeal to strong regional collegiate and post-collegiate talent.

Course expectations

At just 6,356 yards, Del Monte demands accuracy over power—narrow fairways bordered by mature pines and oaks punish wayward drives, while tiny, tiered greens require pinpoint iron play and masterful lag putting.

Weather risk

Early July on the Monterey Peninsula typically features morning coastal fog that burns off by midday, with temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s.
