Beautiful course. A bit difficult but well worth the effort. You can carry your bag but be sure your back is ready.

One of the most beautiful courses in the world,bring your "A" game.This course promotes thinking of every shot you make during your round,and if you think that once you've reached the green your troubles are over!!well think again.

A must for anyone visiting the Monterey Peninsula,if you went there and didn't play this one "Shame On You".

Great

Everything

None that I could see

I absolutely love this course. I only get out to the area once a year or so, and get to pley only 1 round each time I am there. This place is very underrater I feel becauase of Spyglass, Spanish Bay, and Pebble. I think this course holds it's own quite well against the others. I was impressed by the beauty and condition of the course. Some great holes. Strategy off the tee and course management are imperative for a good round. YOu really must put your approsh shots in he proper place or you are looking at many 3 putts. A great challenge, great staff, and overall wonderful golf experience.

Great

Strategy required. Fairways are perfect.

Greens can get a little bumpy.

This is my favorite course in the world. It is pristine and beautiful. The course requires strategy and thought and not brute power. Every single shot requires focus and concentration or you wind up with double bogey. The greens are extremely contoured requiring care with your approach shots, perfection with your chips and pitches, and great putting. Its just too good to be true at 6300 yards. Hit it solid and play very smart and you'll have a great day in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Great practice facility.

A beautiful reasonable wooded course. One of the best I've ever played from top to bottom! Carpet like fairways. It's nice to see 5 point bucks and hear seals barking while trying to make a putt. Great staff and pro shop. You can see 5 different holes from the 100 yard long wooden planked deck. A really pretty, serene, and quality experience is to be had @ Poppy Hills. I liked the clock on the range which is hard to find anywhere? Beware of the Red Fox on 17. He will follow your cart and snag any food you have lying out. we didn't mind too much though. Don't miss this course.

Mature tree line fairways. I thought the fairways were fair, but you better be hitting straight. Greens are as smooth as a table, but one sitting on the side of a hill. Greens roll true, so if you make the right read...you'll do OK, if Not, prepare for the worse. Walk the rolling hills and enjoy the true beauty. There are only a few spots in the course where there is a moderate distance between holes. For NCGA members, it's only $50.00!!! My area muni is almost that...what more can I say about Value!!

Popularity makes it tough to make a tee time. But there are NO weakness' in the course or facilities

In my limited golf history, this is the most beautiful course I have played. Been to Hawaii many times, but this is #1. Played on a foggy morning, that only added to the charm and beauty...I hear it's like this most of the summer. Challenging is the very least I can say. Trees are a factor on every hole, greens are protected by monster bunkers, and the greens will bring you to your knees. The morning I played was moist (so they played a bit slow), but got a taste of the speed during the later holes. I can see how they could set the pin locations to test even Tiger. Start off the course with the #1 handicapped hole as number one...trees to the left, sloping gully to the right-green surrounded by bunkers, with no where to land except the small/elevated green!!!

Beautiful club house, with moderately priced food. For early tee times, come early and have breakfast first. Average sized putting area, and a hit off the ground driving range. Pro shop is OK.

Setting and fairways.

finding the damn place...don''t get lost in p.b.

I love poppy hills. I have played it 2x and I think it might be one of the best courses i''ve played, and I''ve played every other course in the monterey pen. What makes this place so special, i think, is the setting. The woods are just about some of the coolest on earth (both figuratively and literally). Almost creepy I guess. But the whole atmosphere, everything, is just awesome. The greens can be challenging because they sometimes get bumpy, especially in the late afternoon. Play to the safe side of the greens.

Customer Service

Nice enough...but who cares, you''re there to golf right?

The beauty, the scenery, the right to play a course the pros play for a great price - what can be better.

None

The golf club I belong to palys this course every year, and it''s the hardest event to get signed up for. It is a real challenge for me, but I also really enjoyed it. The greens are fast, and most holes are narrow allowing little room for mistake. If you are a player like me, use your head and play smart. Keep it in the fairway, and you should have an enjoyable day. Regardless, the course is so beautiful that you should have a great day regardless of how you played. As an NCGA member it can''t be beat, as we enjoy an execptional price.

Customer Service

Always friendly, courteous, and quick whether playing or just visiting.

views, greens, everything...

range is pretty plain...

What else needs to be said YOU ARE IN PEBBLE BEACH. All the courses in this area are nice. This is a steal if you are an NCGA member. Better hit the balls straight off the tee or bring your chainsaw....

Customer Service

just ok but what do you expect your not paying $350 like at Pebble!

The 1.5 hour dive from the Bay Area

This and Poppy Ridge are the best deals in Northern California. This couse is only second to Pebble in Monterey. Forget Spyglass and Spanish Bay. Challening layout, tricky greens, beautiful setting. Target style golf- this course punishes you for errant drives. Hooks and slices either end up in jail or on the beach. The par 5s are tougher than most courses.
