Pebble- question

[North Texas]

I was looking at taking my Father on a trip to Pebble as a gift for having helped me fix up a recent home purchase. If the requirement is 3 days stay for a preferred tee time at Pebble Beach is my math correct that I am looking at $5k for 3 nights and 3 rounds of golf (Pebble, Spy and Spanish)? Wow.

 

You might check with them directly. We went last October and only had to stay 2 nights with a round at Pebble. Played 2 rounds elsewhere cheaper than playing Spanish Bay and Spyglass. Have played both before and we did not think Spyglass, while a very good course, was worth full rate and we know Spanish Bay damn sure isn't worth full rate.

 

For sure take your dad to Pasatiempo and find somewhere else to play for the old "dollar cost averaging". We played Pasa and Carmel Valley Ranch and I would pick Carmel Valley over Spanish Bay every day of the week.

Even at 2 nights the juice is not nearly worth the squeeze.

So I get a random text from my mom the other night asking if I would be interested in heading down to pebble for a few days to golf in September. So, of course I'm in..

 

I live in Tahoe so I'm going to have her fly into San Jose and pick her up on my way. We are going to spend the night of the 17th and 18th at the inn at Spanish bay and play pebble the 18th and spyglass the 19th.

 

My Mom uses a concierge/travel service to book her big trips so she booked this one through them also.

 

So my question?

 

She was told that the only time we can play pebble is 3:00 on Tuesday afternoon which on September 18 has us chasing daylight with sunset around 7:10. Likely we won't finish on time. So I said wing it and we will see if someone cancels out earlier and we can jump on then. The agent booked it and then came back at us saying if we wanted to try to get on the waiting list for a 3rd tee time we would have to book a 3rd night. We don't want a 3rd time we just want to get on the list to get out earlier on the 18th if we can.

 

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I thought staying on the property pretty much guaranteed a good tee time?

 

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any info

 

Just call the pro shop - let them know you are staying 2 nights, but would like to make additional tee times. It should not be a problem.

 

We got the typical "stay 2 nights w/2 rounds" special. But the pro shop allowed us additional tee times. Our schedule was 1) fly in and played Spyglass; 2) 1st full day Pebble/Spanish Bay; 3) 2nd full day Pebble/Pebble The pro shop was great.

 

Have fun w/your mom. She sounds pretty cool.
