Pasatiempo (Spanish for "Pastime") is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[2] in Santa Cruz County, California, United States, located along State Route 17 between Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz.

Marion Hollins came to California in the mid-1920s to work for Samuel Morse, owner of the Pebble Beach company, and given responsibility for establishing Cypress Point golf club.

After Cypress Point, Marion Hollins set out to build her own golf course and sports center, and on January 12, 1928 she announced that she would be building a sports and real estate complex on land just outside Santa Cruz, CA, calling the area Pasatiempo Estates.

She hired noted architect William Wurster to build her home, which still stands today at 33 Hollins Drive inside Pasatiempo.
