Dream California Weekender

[clublender]

If you had an unlimited budget for a three-day weekend, where would you go in California and which three courses would you play?

[sharkiesj]

Public courses or private?

[clublender]

Money is no object; let's assume that includes connections with members to get onto any private course in the Golden State. So private or public.

[krtgolfing]

I would vote Pebble Beach. Plenty of great public / private courses!

[kekoa]

Norcal:

Pebble

MPCC

Spyglass

 

Socal:

Riviera

LACC

Bel Aire CC (I hear this course is really fun)

[One_Putt_Blunder]

3 36 hole days

Cal Club SFGC

Pasatiempo and Cypress

Pebble and Spy

[Gmachine]

easy:

 

round 1: pebble

round 2: pebble

round 3: pebble

 

i'm kidding but sort of not kidding.

 

if i had 3 rounds, i would think of:

round 1: pebble

round 2: poppy hills

round 3: pebble

[ezpz]

Riviera, Cypress Point, LACC, Olympic club.

[Metro-PA]

Cypress

SFGC

Olympic

[DukeOfChinoHills]

This is a great thread topic.

 

If money were no object, I'd go Riviera then Cypress Point then Olympic Club.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Monterey peninsula:

Day 1: Cypress & Pebble

Day 2: mpcc shore & Spyglass

Day 3: cal club & SFGC

[Schley]

Let's assume we have a private jet for transport as well so ...and 36 a day.....or actually on June 21st each year Riviera, Bel Air, LACC have a summer solstice tournament where they play all three courses in the same day. They have the most daylight and would love to do that.

 

Day 1 - summer solstice tournament so Riviera, Bel Air, LACC

Day 2 - fly up to Monterrey and hit 2 rounds at Cypress Point

Day 3 - SFGC for MPCC

 

I have played Pebble, Cal Club, Bel Air, Olympic Club, Pasatiempo, Poppy Hills, Sypglass, Mayacama (great course btw) so didn't pick those

[tjblue]

What I''ll be doing in two weeks...half moon ocean...pasa...carmel valley.

[Shades234]

With an unlimited budget, there's no reason why you can't play anywhere in the state over the course of 3 days with a private jet.

 

Day 1. AM Pebble, PM MPCC Shore

Day 2. AM Cypress, Jet to LA, PM Riviera

Day 3. AM LACC, PM Bel Air.

 

If I only had 3 rounds to play I would probably do Cypress Point, Riviera, LA CC.

If I had to stay in one location, then I'd choose Pebble Beach. Cypress, Pebble, MPCC (Shore and Dunes) and Spyglass.

 

Great topic. Lots of fun to think about.

Looks like you beat me to the private jet idea and your solstice tourney is brilliant. *bows down*

I'm not making up the summer solstice tournament, they actually play it. I know because I was playing at Bel Air (where I won a charity round) and was the only one at the small driving range when one guy drove up in a cart, blonde and skinny. He was hitting it real well and was only there maybe 7-8 minutes and walked past me again and said good luck out there today to each other. It was Jack Wagner the actor who is a scratch golfer. They were playing the Summer Solstice tournament that day. Wow what a day that would be huh?

Yup. That sounds amazing. I'm adding it to the bucket list. Doubt I will ever have the opportunity, but if I do, I'm jumping on it.

 

Never heard of that actor, but there are probably loads of successful actors that I've never heard of before. Entertainment industry is massive. How was your round at Bel Air? I've heard good things. I could see the fairways from some of my classrooms at UCLA but never got the opportunity to play a round there.

It was great just to have the opportunity to play there really with all the history and mystic. Loved it. I used to coach at UCLA 98-01 and had to wait 15 years to play it after I left.)

[ivsa71]

I would start at SFGC then fly to Morgan Hill and play at the Institute. Then fly to Monterey and play at Cypress Point.

That would be quite the weekend.

[Chanceman]

valley club of montecito, cypress point, san francisco,

pebble can wait.

[BUCKEYERBALL88]

Is mpcc dunes worth $500?

[ryu123]

Buckeyerball, I played the Dunes course at Monterey Peninsula CC several years ago, before the recent renovation. (At that time unaccompanied guests had to take a caddie.) It was a very good course.

 

If Pebble Beach is worth $500, then for me the Dunes course was not.

[andrew_m]

Day 1: Riviera

Day 2: Cypress Point (+ The Preserve if there's time)

Day 3: Mayacama

 

There are about a dozen world-class courses just in the Bay-ish area alone though...PB, Spyglass, Spanish, CPC, Tehama, Preserve, Bayonne, Poppy Hills, Mayacama, SFGC, Cal GC, Olympic...

[AP2 712]

My weekend went

Thursday 36 at Pasatiempo

Friday 18 at Pebble

Saturday 18 at Spyglass

 

Can’t wait to do it again!!! It was magical!
