Recently, our family made our annual trip to our favorite place for golf, food and fun, Pebble Beach. The COVID lockdowns make Pebble Beach an even more attractive destination as it is an easy 1.5 drive from our home in Danville. We have been attending the AT&T Pro Am for many years. The Inn at Spanish Bay is always full of energy and excitement as many of the celebrities and players stay there.
This year we decided to play
Spanish Bay Links. We have not played it for many years. It was designed by
Robert Trent Jones Jr, Sandy Tatum and Tom Watson. It has spectacular ocean
vistas on nearly every hole and very good value compared to Pebble Beach. There
are a variety of tees for every golf skill level and the course is in
impeccable condition. After a day of
fresh ocean air and sunshine on this Oceanside Links course, we returned to our
room for cocktails and prepared to watch the bagpiper play at sunset. The piper
playing on the ocean at sunset is always a ‘special ‘experience and great way
to end a fun day of golf.
After the piper experience,
we always go to our favorite restaurant Roy’s located at the Inn.
It is always fun to dine with the golfers and
celebrities and enjoy an extensive menu of sushi, steaks and much more. After dinner, a brandy sitting in the
large lobby watching the waves roll off the deep blue sea and smell crackling
wood from the stately fireplace is a great way to complete your day and soothe
your soul.
We have been coming to the AT&T
Pro Am for 30 years and the entire Pebble Beach experience and Spanish Bay Inn
never gets old.
