Restoration

In 2023, Pasatiempo contracted with Jim Urbina Golf Design to restore Pasatiempo to its original Alister MacKenzie, 1929 design. Jim's involvement with Pasatiempo spans several decades, and Jim spent several years restoring Pasatiempo Golf Club. The club’s inability to close the course required that the restoration of the bunkers and greens to happen over a longer period of time.  The meticulous work that Mackenzie and Hunters construction crews took to create the bunkers also required that he spend the same amount of time to faithfully restore that flare.  The restoration work of Pasatiempo was done by Jim Urbina, in conjunction with Theisen Downing of Earthsculptures, Brett Hochstein of Hochstein Design and Justin Mandon, Pasatiempo Golf Course Superintendent.  The project began on April 17, 2023, and was completed on December 5, 2024. The Valley Club of Montecito and Claremont were the other Mackenzie designs that received Jim's special attention.  He continues these long term relationships to this day.
