POPPY HILLS GOLF COURSE

The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design threads through towering Monterey pines and native sand dunes just inland from the Pacific, delivering a stern test that demands precision over power. Strategic bunkering and undulating greens reward course management, while the signature par-3 10th plays across a dramatic ravine that separates pretenders from players. This daily-fee gem offers legitimate championship conditions without the Pebble Beach premium, making it the Peninsula's best-kept secret for serious stick.
