This was my 2nd time out to this course in a tourney and I figured I'd score better due to course knowledge but that went by the wayside after the first 9 holes. Course was in impecabble condition throughout although the fairways were a tad thin to my liking although they were very green. It felt better to be hitting out of the rough as it let your ball sit up more (suits my game better). Beautiful scenery throughout the course and deers to boot as well although there was quite a foul smell almost the entire round of rotten eggs or something blowing in off the ocean. It was rather cold as well and windy yesterday which also added to the overall challenge.

Course is challenging on most holes as there are narrow fairways that are surrounded by environmentally protected areas. Great sand and well protected, ultra fast, very undulated greens that did hold pretty well on approach shots. Make sure you club up 1 on your shots as the thick air tends to lessen the distance on your shots.

Overall, a must play course that will definitely humble you. I didn't have to pay for this round but those who can afford it should play it for the overall "feeling" that you get from the Clubhouse til the 18th hole. The Pebble Bch car show was also rather nice with plenty of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Aston Martins etc... rolling around the 17 mile drive.
