The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A private 36-hole club sibling that traces back to a Seth Raynor routing and has been brought back to life by a Jackson Kahn restoration unearthing the dunescape, with a Fazio touch as well. Critics put it in the conversation with its famous Pebble-area neighbors, praising small targets, strategy over power, and a stunning seaside par 3 reached by crossing 17-Mile Drive.
Consistently praised
- Restored sandscape and dune contouring after the Jackson Kahn work, with small greens and angle-driven strategy.
- A seaside par 3 at the 14th with tees set in ancient rocks across 17-Mile Drive; bentgrass conditioning consistently called pristine.
Worth knowing
- Private and quiet; access is the gate, not the golf.
Golfers recommend
- Play it for angles and pin positions, not raw yardage.
- Take a moment at the 14th tee; reviewers call it among the best par 3s on the Peninsula.
