Spyglass Hill Golf: Coastal Mastery Unveiled

Spyglass Hill isn't just a golf course; it's where you prep your game before you even tee off. There's a roomy driving range a stone's throw from the first tee, big enough for about 15 golfers to practice, whether on grass or mats. What makes this range stand out? It's the deer hanging out in the middle, not bothered by golf balls flying their way.

Right by the range, you'll find a short game area with a practice bunker. It's not as deep as the course bunkers but good for a sand feel.

Behind the first tee, there's a sizable putting green for six to eight players, mirroring the course's greens, helping you get the feel right for your putts.

As expected from Pebble Beach, the customer service is top-notch. The starter is efficient and friendly, ensuring groups are paired up and ready on time. At the end of your round, two staff members take care of your clubs and shoes.

Now, let's dive into the course. Spyglass Hill flaunts five incredible oceanfront holes, a rarity in U.S. golf. The bunkers are big, deep, and all over the place. If you're not a sand game pro, it's wise to avoid them, especially the ones below the green level. Spyglass Hill demands your A-game; otherwise, it'll give you a golfing lesson you won't forget.`
