The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The Robert Trent Jones Sr design where the famous five-hole oceanside opener gives way to thirteen demanding holes through Del Monte Forest, widely considered the toughest course in the AT&T rotation. Reviews split on the inland stretch: some call it magnificent, others say the character shift is jarring.
Consistently praised
- The first five holes through dunes to the Pacific draw near-universal praise.
- Greens are firm, sloped and consistently cited as among the hardest on tour; forest holes are dramatic and tree-framed with real elevation.
Worth knowing
- The hard pivot to forest after hole five disappoints some golfers expecting more ocean; it is genuinely difficult.
Golfers recommend
- Play a sensible set of tees; the slope from the tips is no joke.
- Putt defensively; speed kills here far more than line.
