Poppy Hills Golf Course

Played Poppy Hills for the first time. Really like the course. Very hilly, take a cart. Some very challenging greens. Beautiful scenery. Lots of nature. Great pro shop with friendly staff. Good restaurant and bar. I like the food, very good quality. Really nice place to take in the serene environment. They have a small range. This is an NCGA course, think about joining, lots of great benefits.

The golf course is superb! The generous fairways may give you a false sense of security because the greens don't give up Pitts very easily. The bentgrass greens make for a very smooth surface so watch out when putting toward the ocean. The pro shop is full of stylish apparel and you'll be tempted to pick something up for sure. The snack bar was disappointing and I avoided eating there after hearing others complain about how the food didn't taste good and was very expensive. I went into the bar to get a beer after the round and stood there for 10 minutes while I watched who was maybe a bartender count her tips rather than see if I needed anything. After she was done she just walked away. I had to run over to the other side of the bar to chase down someone else to get me a beer. So from my experience the service at the restaurant has a lot to be desired. Needless to say I left after that and had a great meal in Monterey. On the other hand, the staff in the proshop gave impeccable service and all were very friendly. Overall, it was a nice experience.

This is a real gem the Del Monte forest. Played two rounds here with my son and a couple of friends. Course is in great condition , fairways are beautifully cut, and the greens are deceptively hard. One of my favorite courses. Course is in great shape considering all the storms this year. Absolutely gorgeous today!!! Weather was great, greens are in fantastic shape, and the fairways were beautiful. Update on 9-4-23, it was punched and sanded a couple of weeks ago. Had a few 3 putts today.

When you walk onto the grounds of Poppy Hills Golf Course you immediately feel like you are on a Championship-style course. You are treated with the utmost professionalism and great customer service. And from the 1st Tee right until you walk off the 18th green you have a great time while playing on a very well maintained course with spectacular views. One of my favorite courses to play!!!
