Old Macdonald Golf Links
Old Macdonald is a tribute to C.B. Macdonald, who many consider the father of modern golf in the United States.

The course opened on September 8th, 1929. Tom Doak was hired in 1996 to begin restoring Pasatiempo to its "original design" and the renovation was successfully completed in Fall 2007, with a great deal of assistance from his lead associate Jim Urbina, club historian Bob Beck and superintendent Dean Gump.
