we need to stick to the topic of going to play at Pebble beach.... or else this will be diverted to how women shop badly.....
my suggestion is play with out thinking what other might say as long as you have the money and the energy to play.
enjoy while you can life is ..... just...... flower

haha.... its funny... thats what she said too!

But then golf is going to cost so much more! hahah

Our costs for that travel package was around 15k for a party of 5. She spends more than two times of that amount on shopping alone ! affraid

Some more some of her shopping list was not fulfilled due to out of stock. I guess, in Paris, you gals know what the letter 'L' stands for. She bought hangbags, shoes, dresses...all from that shop alone. Then in Milan, the other letter starts with 'P'.... In Switzerland, she bought a watch worth 5 figures. Sad

We came back with 6 large luggage bags and 3 BIG soft bags. I was more worried about having to take 2 cabs when we reach home. Luckily just managed to squeezed everything in a Maxi Cab.
Titu

I guess that is her 1st time to Europe...... dont worry she will shop more the 2nd time around.
...there's still hermes bag........"P" watch.... or "IWC" Cheers Jump

500 is still no big deal as long as you enjoy the game... heard St. andrews more expensive.

Oooh.. she been there quite regularly. Even my maid 'thang teo' when she starts her spring cleaning of her personal stuffs from dresses to shoes which is a couple of times a year..

Hi,
It's definitely worth every cent. I played PB a couple of years back and had a great round - +10 after 17 holes and then dump it in the bunker and ding dong around for triple bogey.. shooting 85 which I was happy with. The course is pretty challenging if the wind picks up, and can get quite long. Remember to get a caddy as they really know their way around and have many stories to share from their days caddying for stars during the AT&T pro-am.

I hear you need to stay at the lodge these days to get onto the course, but i believe you can call a few days ahead and they can slot you in for a 1 ball. I paid $350 back then and i believe the rates will continue inflating - so go for it. BTW, caddy tip is US$50 Smile

And if you can spare another day, go play Spyglass Hill, it's has some amazing holes along the MOnterrey peninsula.

One way of pleasing the wife is to find a nice and cosy place in Camel, which is next to PB. It's really quaint and slow with many retirees chilling out. My gf really enjoyed it when we were there.

If you have more time, drive down to Torrey Pines which is a public course and they charge about US$100 for a round ( they gave us local rates of $75 cos we turned up at 5 am Smile

Between pebble beach, st andrew's and maybe ballybuion is Ireland, there are some places one must play before you get too old to swing the club haha... Enjoy.

I have some brochures of the places I stayed, so let me know and I can pass them along..

I have a Korean friend played at a golf course near the Pebble Beach and he paid much lesser than US$500. I think around USD$200. That is couple years back.

But having said that, I think you should go for it. It is once a life time thing and you are talking bout Pebble beach where US Open -Major held there before. Do remember to take as much pictures as you can as memory.
