A Challenge to Advanced Golfers and Fun for Beginners

This relaxed, enjoyable course, though adjacent to the Rokko Course, has a somewhat different character. Distances are short, but greens surrounded by bunkers and gulches that cut into the fairways teach golfers the value of constant caution. Good scores are possible, but so are serious beatings. That is why players are somehow eager to challenge this course over and over again. 
Dining at the colonial-style clubhouse, designed by the architects of the Pebble Beach clubhouse, is very popular.
