The Alister MacKenzie routing through rolling terrain above Monterey Bay delivers strategic brilliance that rewards thinking over bombing. Massive, undulating greens demand precise approach shots and reading skills, while the dramatic elevation changes—particularly the plunging par-3 third—showcase why this 1929 design remains a pilgrimage site for architecture purists. You'll find yourself studying every angle twice, knowing that MacKenzie's genius lies in making the correct play obvious only after you've already hit it.
