Always excellent

Is it worth the rack rate of $60-80? No, it’s worth $35, but I’d pay upwards of $45 cuz it’s a gem of a spot, a nice time, and always empty, so you can take as long as the pros to finish a hole.

First Time Playing

A Mini Trump National!

Played a mid-afternoon HOT DEAL round ($41/head) + $7 hotdeal promo discount on Monday at 3:30pm (sun goes down till 8:30pm since you’re on the coast) so you can have a really late tee time and finish in about 2 hours or less.

Ocean views for half of the holes, greens are in good shape (not pristine), course layout is easily walkable, somewhat tough on somedays considering you hit into the wind you get from the coast.

Some holes become have an additional 15-20 yard’s depending on the wind, so the longest club I pulled out was a 6-iron for about a 200 yard shot.

Overall, nice course if you can get a hot deal for $41 + the additional hot deal promos to bring that green fee down to about $35. You’ll probably pay the same amount at a public 18-hole course like Los Verdes, but this one with the same views of Trump National only a mile-away for 4-7x less!

Best par three in California

You want Pebble Beach views at an affordable rate? Look no further. Played this course for the first time today. Was beyond surprised with the conditions, the staff, and the uniqueness of the layout. Basically every hole you have an epic ocean view. Sure one could argue it’s not the longest course, but each par three has its own unique challenge, and the pin positions can make off T-shots quite consequential. The grass was perfect and the greens were extremely well-kept.. Cannot rave enough about this place and can’t wait to play it again.

Great views and a quick 9 hole round

Conditions were pretty good and pace was good. It was a nice quick 9 hole round for my wife and I before dinner. Nice that you can catch just a bit of the ocean view, and wind played a big factor to consider in club selection.
