The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The consensus public bucket-list course in America, with a cliff-top stretch from 7 through 10 plus 17 and 18 that reviewers say no photograph captures. Most golfers report it lives up to the hype despite the cost, though pace of play and the inland holes are honest caveats.
Consistently praised
- The 7th, 8th and 18th get singled out repeatedly as among the best holes in the game.
- The walk along the Pacific from 6 through 10 is described as golf’s real Amen Corner; even skeptics tend to say the experience exceeded expectations.
Worth knowing
- The price is steep and rounds can run very long; a handful of inland holes early on feel ordinary next to the cliff stretch.
Golfers recommend
- Stay on property if you can; the resort guarantees access and softens the logistics.
- Take wind seriously on 7 and 8; the cliffs amplify everything.
