CAUTION DEER CROSSING ROAD POSSIBLE
At Bird Rock
my bike on the 17 mile drive.
me and my bike at pebble beach.
visit the world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Course. Many major golf tournaments are held here.
More details later... Hi. That's a pic of me standing just outside the clubhouse... trying to amuse myself whilst my buddies were out golfing that early morning (yawn!).
Surviving in the harsh conditions of the Pacific Ocean can be tough for some animals. Take for instance this seagull, having to live its entire life on one leg. Amazing to think that this gull could take off and land so many times on just one leg. As we sat there, we just gawked at the ability of this avian acrobat. My hat goes off to it. Well, it went off to it until the gull dropped its other leg down from under its feather coat.
Oh well, I still had respect for the bird anyway!
Poppy Hills is one of the Pebble Beach community's eight golf courses, and one of five public courses in Pebble Beach. Created by the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) in 1986, it is the first course in the United States to be owned and operated by an amateur golf association. Along with the Pebble Beach Golf Links and the Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Poppy Hills co-hosts the PGA TOUR's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament.
Poppy Hills is near the back side of Pebble Beach at 3200 Lopez Road, and it is surrounded by the Huckleberry Hill Natural Area. Greens fees here are $195 for the general public, and as low as $53 for members. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
The NCGA is headquartered at Poppy Hills, and with 180,000 members, it is one of the largest regional golf associations in the world. The NCGA also owns Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, and is associated with some 1,250 courses in California, Nevada, and Oregon. NCGA was founded in 1901.
The Pebble Beach Corporation owns three courses in the Pebble Beach community--Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Spanish Bay--as well as the Del Monte Golf Course in nearby Monterey. Pebble Beach Golf Links is the company's landmark course, widely recognized as one of the best places for golf in America. The course was constructed in 1919 and has hosted four US Open Championships in 1972, 1982, 1992, and 2000. Pebble Beach is open to the public, but its fees of around $500 mean most people will never play here.
Along the 17-Mile Drive....
As you drive along the rugged coastline and deep into the Del Monte Forest, don't forget to make short stops at the following scenic spots:
Point Joe and marvel at the colliding ocean currents of the Restless Sea.
Bird Rock (home to tons of sea lions, harbor seals and bird!). Don't worry... Binoculars WILL be provided to allow visitors a closer look.
China Rock (named in memory of the Chinese settlers who lived in fishing villages here in the 1800s).
Fanshell Overlook... and Fanshell Beach.
Cypress Point Look-out.
Crocker Grove (did you know that the oldest and largest known Monterey cypress tree grows in this beautiful sanctuary?). Enthralling!
Lone Cypress Tree - This 200-300 year old tree is definitely the most famous tree in the entire world!
O.K., enjoy your drive now! :-))
