Pebble Beach, Is it worth $450

[Hogan Fan]

Would you pay $450 to play Pebble? I know I would and will if I ever make it out there.

Good thread the wife just asked today if we could play pebble next year in a package with spyglass and poppy or whatever for a 3 dayer.If it is not ridiculous which I hear it might be such as having to spend 400 a nite plus the courses or 2400 each for 3 days then maybe next year.

I really wanted to when I was stationed there, but couldn't get a tee time. The money wasn't the issue . I did get on Spyglass 3 times and Spanish Bay once. My wife and I were married in Carmel and next year makes 10 so we are heading back for our anniversary and I hope to play it then.

My wife and I got married in Carmel 5 years ago this May. I'm not sure I could turn that into a golf trip since she doesn't play golf.

I've had a lot of opportunities but never played it. If you don't stay at the Lodge at least two nights you can't make a tee time more than 24 hours in advance. So you're probably going to go out as a single and hook up with three other golfers you don't know. That makes the experience less than optimal from my point of view. My wife and I play with lots of folks we don't know at our courses in SC, but that's not costing me $450 or (worse) $900. If they're bad golfers, or slow or annoying or whatever, it's no big deal. At Pebble's prices those things would really grind on my Scotch soul.

Defintiely on my list to play before I die. Along with Augusta, Bethpage, Torrey Pines, just to name a few.

The best solution I have found is the spa, and Carmel has great ones.

My wife is just a beginning golfer, but wherever we go, we always get a Spa/golf package, that way she can spend 4-5 hours getting pampered and relaxing, and I can spend 4-5 hours driving myself mad!

I've played there 3 or 4 times a year for many years and it get better each time!!!

As the saying goes, "when you go to Pebble, the cheapest thing about your trip will be the airfare." I went back in 2004 (only $395 then). We stayed at Spanish Bay (highly recommend that over the Lodge) from Sunday - Friday, played Spanish Bay, Spyglass, Poppy Hills, and Pebble. I think for 4 of us (only 2 golfing) the entire trip cost about $12k.

Personally I think it's ridiculous price for a round of golf. Anyone who can justify $450 for a round of golf has WAY more money to throw around than I do. I just spent $355 for airfare from Colorado to SW Florida plus 2 rounds of golf.... could have played yet another round and still been under the cost of one green fee at Pebble. It's a beautiful course, but I'm never going to see it anywhere but on TV.

I'll take Bandon Dunes over $400 at Pebble.
