Pebble Beach Golf Links Review 

Golfers' comments about Pebble

Overheard at the Tap Room (Pub at The Lodge)

Greens bumpy near the ocean with some crazy breaks.

Spectacular views; bring a camera.

Hire a caddy and walk the course like the pros do - well worth it.

Fairways are Immaculate.

The place is unreal; beyond expectations.

Had heard so much hype was expecting a little letdown, especially after spending so much. My buddies and I spent 2 days grinning like fools, dazzled everywhere we looked. There were some packed sandtraps and the wind is definitely a factor, but such a once in a lifetime experience.

I can't say enough about hiring a caddy. You get a tour and lots of tips along the way. Walking the course is the way to go.

Kids can eat at the casual restaurant. It was so-so. But there is beach access.

The course is already being prepared for 2010; trees being moved, etc. Greens tricky by the water but true.

What. A. Place. I walked the same course as the big guys.

The Links at Spanish Bay 

Beautiful, on the beach, half the expense of Pebble

The Links at Spanish Bay is right on the beach, which means winds and sandy dunes. It also includes deer. A lot of deer who not impressed by your balls.

The Links at Spanish Bay has sometimes been overlooked because it cannot host tournaments due to environmental restrictions. It also does not have a practice range, which naturally can be discomfiting to an unaware golfer. But you are able to play there at about half the expense of the Pebble Beach Golf Course. The resort works on many levels; the famous Roy's restaurant featuring Pacific Rim cuisine, Peppoli's Italian restaurant with the coveted Antanori Chiantis, (robust red wines), a fabulous spa, and an "insider" tradition - the bagpipe player at sunset. There are particular evenings with the bagpipe player strolling the path with the setting sun behind him that we think of St. Andrews, this rich history of golf, and those missed...Payne Stewart, Bing Crosby,...OK,back to the course.

Tips on Pebble Beach Golf Links April 2007 

Only holes with tips are listed here

Hole 7

If you are long, you're in the water. Green is protected by bunkers. Miss it a little long and to the left; wind is a factor.

Hole 8

With the wind, go left. And long. If you hit right, do not go long.

Hole 10

Look for the pin first. I went a little left of middle.

Hole 14

Long Par 5. Aim right side for tee shot and let ball roll left. Green has bigtime slopes on 2 tiers - see where the pin is. Approach shot to green is key.

Long equals wet. Bunkers protect the greens here, so if anything left and a little long. Use the wind.

Poppy Hills Players' Reviews 

Comments from golfers on Poppy

Pristine peaceful and beautiful. No snobbery.

Gorgeous layout. Challenging.

Greens smooth, fast. Discounts for SCGA golfers.

What a great course and staff. Even in the fog I loved it.

Lots of doglegs, which I absolutely love.

I said I would be back, and I was. It kicked my a++ and I loved it.

(From the publisher: I could only honestly find these statements; no criticisms other than getting tee times. Impressive.)
