Nestled amidst the towering pines of Del Monte Forest, Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach, California, offers a unique and scenic golfing experience. This Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed course, unlike its more coastal Pebble Beach counterparts, carves its path through the peaceful forest canopy, creating a tranquil escape 200 feet above sea level. Opened in 1986, it was the first course owned and operated by the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA).
Poppy Hills is known for its distinct character. Gone are the typical roughs lining the fairways, replaced by natural sandy areas and pine straw. This, combined with firm and fast conditions, encourages creative shot-making and strategic play. While challenging, the course offers breathtaking ocean vistas from certain vantage points, making it a memorable round for golfers of all skill levels. After your game, unwind at the on-site clubhouse featuring dining and a golf shop, or head down to explore the world-renowned Pebble Beach.
