Some updates for Spanish Bay. Course conditions remain in excellent condition as mentioned before. They are now allowing carts out on some of the fairways. From now until the first rain (forecast is for some rain in a couple of weeks) they are allowing carts out on about half of the fairways. 90 degree rule in effect.

Caddies: Caddies/forecaddies still aren’t allowed to carry or touch your clubs. In fact the caddies can’t even clean you ball on the putting green. Basically all they can do is spot your drives (very helpful at Spyglass Hill) and read your putts. Looks like this will be in place until the at least the first of the year unless something drastically changes with COVID in the next couple weeks.

Front entry doors at Spanish are closed up and entry has to be made by walking around the back.

Putting green is open with no flags in. Drink cart was out and about making several rounds throughout the day. Credit card only on the drink cart. They have sanitized pens for signing the receipt that once you use them get placed into a “dirty” box until re-sanitized. Masks are required indoors. No rakes in the bunkers but the couple I were in were perfectly smooth. We teed off at 9:30 so there were a number of groups out in front of us. Either they had someone going around and raking bunkers or I just found some that no one else had visited yet.

Monterey County is still outdoor dining only. Luckily, several of the restaurants at Pebble Beach (including Roy’s) have patio dining options.
