Spyglass Hill Golf Course

Spyglass Hill Golf Course

Spyglass is one of the most unique and incredible golf courses in the country. Considering the neighbours the course sits between, Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, Links at Spanish Bay and Monterey Peninsula Country Club, Spyglass offers an entirely different golf game. It has often been commented that Spyglass Hill is the best golf course never to host a Major Championship. The first five holes are examples of incredible course design and start-up high in the woods working down to the Ocean.

The final 13 holes meander deep into the Del Monte Forest with challenging sharp doglegs and sloping fairways leading to water protected greens. Without any shadow of a doubt, Spyglass offers the most natural flowing terrain on the Monterey coastline in California. Spyglass Hill is absolute bucket list golf, and we would love you to see how right the course is for yourself.

Golf at Spyglass Hill

Spyglass Hill is a truly tough golf test with the first five holes rolling through sandy seaside dunes challenging the golfer to pick the safest path carefully.  The following 13 holes head inland, cutting a path through the majestic pines with elevated greens and strategically placed bunkers and lakes to grab the errant shot. One of the most recognised USA golf courses on the PGA Tour circuit.

The 4th hole at Spyglass Hill (Blind Pew) is Robert Trent Jones favourite golf hole in his whole outstanding portfolio. The par four at only 380 yards and often regarded as one of the finest sub-400 yard par fours in the world. At its very most forgiving the green is only a mere 10 yards wide, and 50 yards deep and finding the putting surface in two is a challenge.

A tee shot down the right is favoured and does not have to be super long. Most players perhaps would consider a more forgiving hybrid. This should leave a little flick with a wedge but with such a narrow target to fire at; this shot will take your full concentration.
