Poppy Hills is
a challenging golf course that weaves through the Del Monte Forest. The
venue plays host to many prominent tournaments including the PGA Tour’s AT&T
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, in early February.
A 2007 Zagat Survey ranked Poppy Hills the 12th “Most Popular Course” in
the U.S, and the layout was named “National Course of the Year” in 2006 by
the National Golf Course Owners Association.
The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design opened in 1986 and is the home course for
the NCGA. It was the first course in the United States to be owned and
operated by an amateur golf association. The par-72 layout measures 6,857
yards from the black tees with a slope rating of 74.3/144. Matt Gogel holds
the course record of 62. There are four teeing areas on each hole, making
Poppy Hills enjoyable for all levels of play.
The course welcomes public play and it is recommended for visitors to join
the NCGA to receive nearly a 75% discount off the $200 public green fee.
Poppy Hills also includes a picturesque grass driving range, practice
putting, chipping, bunker facilities and a swing video analysis system. The
golf shop was named as one of the “Top 100 Golf Shops” in 2006 by Golf World
Business magazine.
Poppy Hills golf course is a must play when visiting Pebble Beach and the
Monterey Peninsula.
