Course History:
This is a truly stunning course where the designers really kept the natural beauty and terrain, making it work for the course instead of plowing everything under. This is one of the most popular courses on the West Coast and it is easy to see why. Mike McAllister of Sport's Illustrated recently gave this course a glowing recommendation so we had to see what it was all about.
What You Need to Know:
The first thing you notice are the incredible greens fees, considering the quality of the course and the surroundings. This has to be one of the most economical courses in the area. You can book your tee time by calling the number above and they do offer an online book service as well. Make sure to check out their website before you reserve your time since they do offer frequent specials and incentives.
The course does not state whether they have a dress code, but we do recommend traditional attire. Soft spikes are not specified, but we always prefer to err on the side of caution. If you need any extra gear, you'll find the pro shop has more than enough selection to outfit just about anyone. We found the clubhouse to be top notch as well.
Playing Hints:
We liked the fact that the course has a special name for each hole and each one really does illustrate what you'll be facing. Our three favorites were: Lombard Street Hole - which is the fourth hole on the course. There is a reason it's named after the famous San Francisco street, you'll think you're back in the Bay Area on this one. There's a 100 foot descent to the green and the cart path is not for the faint of heart.
Next up, we loved Cougar Run, or the 10th hole. This one looks really easy, and the green is really visible. However, it's anything but. On your approach to the green, make sure you don't fall prey to the visual illusion of where the pin is. Take your time and really plan that shot out to get par here.
Last but not least, we fell in love with the Wild Turkey Hole or the 16th hole. We always like to see wildlife and yes - you'll run across several turkey as you try to make par. This is the absolute most difficult hole on the course. You'll want to keep to the right with your tee shot and go a bit short so you don't end up in the creek.
