The Great Pebble Beach Debate

[A Walk in the Park]

I have posted an article on Phil's phantastic pheat (62 at Spyglass) and pose the question of whether $405 + caddy and hotel, is really a good golf value/worth the money.

Dunno, never played a Cali course.

Doral was overpriced, as were a few others in S. Florida. The local Ross-designed course that cost $18 twilight (after 3pm) was a better deal for the money.

I played Spyglass when I first started playing golf about three years ago, then it was $280 or so plus a $60 caddie who was a pain. I didn't think it was really worth the $$ personally, but then again I'm sure I'd appreciate it much more now that I'm a more seasoned player and can keep it in the short grass a bit more.

Pebble Beach I'd pay $400 for. The views, the history, the golf I think it's all worth it. Just walking down the 18th fairway would make my day. When I think golf course, the first image that pops into my mind is the 18th at pebble beach. While $400 is still a lot considering other championship courses like TPC canyons which was $220 and and Monument Course at Troon North which runs about $240 too. Personally, I'd rather play one round at Pebble than play both of those courses. Pebble Beach is on my short list of courses I must play before I die along with the Old Course, Alisa at Turnberry, Stadium at TPC Sawgrass, and Fancourt Links.

I agree with the Old Course but any course that ties a room to it just to play it kind of turns me off.Southern Cal courses are nice,the Mrs.and I have played Torrey South and love Steele Canyon in San Diego but even Torrey was a rip for out of staters 90.00 as opossed to 12.50 for residents.I also think that 75 percent of TPC courses are not worth the money but that is just me.
