About the course Ranked number eleven on "America's 100 Greatest Public Courses" list by Golf Digest for 2009/2010.

Spyglass Hill Golf Course takes its name from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, Treasure Island, published in 1863. Local legend maintains that Stevenson once wandered the Spyglass area gathering ideas for his novels. A unique aspect of this course is that the holes are named after characters in Treasure Island. Hole names such as "Black Dog" and "Billy Bones" are hints for the unwary. As players attempt to master this difficult course, they may hear the laughter of pirates in the distance.

Spyglass Hill was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., as a part of the master plan for the Pebble Beach ocean front. S.F.B. Morse, founder of Pebble Beach Company, and chairman of the board of Del Monte Properties, envisioned a string of golf courses around Del Monte Forest's shoreline. Morse commissioned Jones to design a course between Cypress point and Pebble Beach.

Top class and one of the hardest courses I have ever played.......

One of the best in the South East. I've seen a few England footballers on the course here... but don't let that put you off!

I was taken here for my 40th birthday - a beautiful course, tricky and greens like glass - worth every penny!

Sounds like a necessary addition to Neil's Top 100 Pubs...
DJ 10:35:23 | 20 Aug 2010
Think it must be. It's where Rob and Kathy have taken me several times . They are in Codicote but I think the Brocket Arms is closer to their stables and menage.
Gladys 10:18:36 | 20 Aug 2010
Is that nearby?
DJ 10:28:58 | 17 Aug 2010
No comment on the course but have you eaten at the Brocket Arms? Very good!
Gladys 10:16:05 | 17 Aug 2010
