Pebble Beach always has impeccable condition..

Greens are running better than they were in the summer, and I'd say, "that's not saying too much" because they were super slow and ugly. Pebble greens I doubt will ever roll like Miramont/Traditions until they redo the greens, which there are rumors they are possibly going to do exactly that. The front nine is worst than the front 9. Hole 1, hole 3, hole 6 are the worst of the bunch. Hole 12 was victim of someone doing a donut on the green and the superintendent has that pretty much healed. What we've got for us is our superintendent. He's very informative and working his butt off. As long as he's in it for the long haul I think the course will look good, eventually.

On the course itself, there are some balding areas like most courses around here have. I played Traditions today and some of their fairways have some poor spots on the fairway as well, but Pebble's look worse still. Also, they're using a shockwave machine so there are tiny lines cut through certain holes. I think this is supposed to help the grass growth (allowing the roots to absorb the water more efficiently?)

My advice would be wait a month or 2 and see if they announce their plans for a new irrigation system/redoing the greens. If I were looking for a "cheap longterm club option I would play A&M til Pebble announces their plans. I'd give them til Feb/March.

I can't afford Miramont or Traditions. I definitely prefer playing Pebble over A&M when it comes to character of course, members, and MGA events/tournaments.

Paspalum greens coming spring 24 as well as capped number of golf members.

They're running a nice membership special right now that won't be available after the first of the year.

I run the MGA out there, holler with any specific questions.
