Course is in perfect shape. Everything is green and lush. Great layout. Challenging rough. Well placed, fantastic fairway bunkering. Love this place.

Played this side for the first time and loved it. I like it much more than Blackhorse but both are very good and just a matter of personal preference. It's more traditional, lined with Cypress tress on every hole. Reminds me very much of what Harding Park looked like on tv for the PGA. It wasn't nearly as tight and penal off the tee as I imagined. Just a tough, but fair test. No hazards and little out of bounds. You're not going to lose golf balls out here. Very tough walk. Lots of uphill trekking. Yes, homes are being built between holes, which is a shame, as it takes some of the "being in nature" out of it, but the layout is still fantastic. This facility is great, but seems to have so much potential to have excellent conditions, that aren't being realized. I played the Black Horse same time of year, last year, and the fairways had the same issues. Lots of different grasses, very patchy, and you almost have to just know going in that you may have to roll your ball in the fairways sometimes to get a fair lie. At $69 to walk with a pull cart, at 7:30am on a weekday, playing in 3 hours as a single, this is an unbelievable deal. I really, really like this place. I would add to rotation for every Monterey trip, just know that it's not on the same level, condition-wise, as the big boys in the area. Very good service, and only course of the 5 we played in the area, that had beverage service on the course (and we paid twice as much as other courses). I'd rather have a great golf course than great service, but just an interesting point. Really good vibe at Bayonet/Blackhorse. I will be back.

I wish I would have discovered Pacific Grove years ago, as it would have been made a part of the Pebble Beach golf trip rotation. So glad that I gave it a try this time to the area. We did the back 9 special and it was spectacular. Great conditions, atmosphere layout, scenery, and service. Such a good vibe at this place. Pretty awful practice area, but it serves it's purpose, which is to just get loose. Greens were really good. Scenery, wildlife, and ambience were surreal. Just a great walk through nature while playing golf. Will play this course every time I make the trip to the area.

What a great surprise. First time to add this course to the Pebble Beach golf trip, and it will stay in the rotation for future trips. From the impression I had coming in, I expected great conditions, but more of a resort layout. Pictures don't do it justice. This course is awesome. Holes are each unique and different. The most difficult 6400 yards I can remember playing. This is a championship caliber course. Great sites are so well framed with spectacular bunkering. Conditions superb and a true golf test. So glad to have found a new gem in the are. Just great.

Started off a 5-day golf trip with Carmel Valley. This course is little quirky and touristy, but a fun way to get settled into Carmel before tackling the bigger courses. Course was in great shape. Pretty funky layout, but worth the $150 rate.

Always a good time at Poppy Hills. Continue to keep in rotation for Pebble Beach golf trips. Great layout, greens are in fantastic shape along with the rest of the course. Only complaint is complete lack of drinking water on course and/or drink cart. Seemed to be a trend in the area.

Fantastic course and facility! Played back to back days. Unbelievable that they can keep this course so pristine while only charging $50 green fees. Greens fast and perfect. Rough green and lush. Fairways like carpet. Entire course is visual eye candy. Pics on the internet do not do course justice. Bunkers not so great. No houses or buildings. 3 really long commutes between green and next tee, so wouldn’t recommend walking. First class facility and a must play.

Fun design but fairways were terrible. They’ve got some issues out there. Grass around short game area bad, as well. Had to roll your ball all around the course to get a reasonable lie. Greens rolled well, very firm, and fun to read. Get conditions up to par, and this is a wonderful facility.

Course in great condition. Fairways are perfect. Greens were great. I love the renovation. Every hole is unique and presents its own challenge. Great place to play.

Still the greatest place in the world, as a whole, but pretty disappointed in conditions. Lucky enough to have played multiple times and fairways were, by far, the worst I’ve seen them. They were punched a couple weeks ago. Very thin and had to roll your ball to get a good lie. You’d certainly hope for near perfect conditions (see Spyglass) when spending this kind of money, but not the case. Fairways and rough were pretty awful. Greens almost really good. Bunkers fine. Spyglass has surpassed Pebble for #1 spot for future trips. Glad to see Pebble finally got a proper practice area. Very nice and long overdue.

Perfect and slow. Maybe my new favorite course, but took 5:50 to play. Perfect conditions, perfect design, and perfect scenery. This is as complete a golf experience as you can have. A very fair golf course that requires every aspect of your game to be sharp. Just can’t say enough how great this course is.

Played July 29. Just an unbelievable course! This place was once considered for the PGA Championship but they decided the location was too remote. This place just oozes major championship golf. Not a single weak hole. A golf purist Heaven. Genius, straight forward, fair design. No buildings or homes. Will not allow you to play a poor shot. Great views. Greens were perfect. Fairways great in most spots, but patchy in others. Rough thick and punitive. Hard to believe they put a course in such a remote location, but the result is spectacular. I really hope they can generate enough traffic to bring the revenue to keep the cost low and conditions pristine. I would say if you are within two hours, go play and then spread the word. La P used to be in the top 100 and no doubt it should return. An over-used phrase lately, but this is PURE GOLF at its best.
