1460.0. "California courses...etc" by WCCLUB::BROWNRJ () Mon Feb 24 1992 00:09

    I'm from NY and in Calif. for training. I am in Mountain View. My
    desire is to play a "scenic" course. I here PASATIEMPO might be what
    I'm looking for. (re: 72.2) 
    My problem is I know nothing about the this area. Can anyone help me?
    I guess my questions are: 
    	
    
    	1. Are there any other courses I should know about?
    	2. Can anyone help with details? (acessability,greens fees...etc)
    
    
    						Thanks RJ

1460.1	Calif Golf Courses	PCAE::FITTERMAN		`Mon Feb 24 1992 08:40`	13
	I was out in Calif. last year and played 5 times in 7 days. We played Half Moon Bay (which isn't all that far from where you are) and it was really beautiful. Pasa Tiempo is very nice as well. If you can afford it, I would take a drive out to Monteray and play Spanish Bay. It is the lesser known of the Pebble Beach courses and every bit is tough. It does cost 110 dollars but is very very scenic and worth it once!!! You could also go play poppy hills which is also in that area. The pros play the Crosby there now and it is public. Good luck, Mike.

	Hi, You can play the Santa Clara Golf & Tennis course. It's usually VERY windy but a pretty decent track to knock it around on. Pasa Tiempo is loads of fun... I'd second the motion for Poppy Hills. A Great course that gave me pleasure to see the pro's shoot high numbers on...I thought it was just me! For a cheap, shabby, but scenic course, you could play Lincold Park in The City. (San Francisco). There are also courses right in Sunnyvale/Mt. View. Have a ball, Donald
1460.4	10 min notice needed	SWAM1::WIERSUM_GA		`Wed Mar 11 1992 13:22`	11
	Try CHABOT LAKES in Oakland Hills...... A REALLY nice course with a great view of the ENTIRE bay. Also a par 6 @ 660 yards. Garry ps. Call me if you need to fill a foursome in Orange County.
1460.5	Now it is 5 !	RAYBOK::COOPER	One-ton Tomato !	`Thu Mar 12 1992 13:27`	5
	Just a point of interest, The NCGA had the Lake Chabot g.c. change the par 6 to a par 5 last year. Lots of fun to play though with many opportunities to hit cars as they crisscross several of the fairways. Mad Hacker

	Has anyone played the newly opened PELICAN POINT course just North of (my home) Laguna Beach? I've looked it over but can't come up with the $125.00. Garry I need 10 min notice....
