If you're looking for a hideaway that does not break the bank and is enveloped in the embrace of forestry greens, look no further, as Poppy Hills has got you covered.

Set beneath the towering Monterey Pines inside the renowned Del Monte Forest of the famed Pebble Beach, Poppy Hills was designed by the prominent Robert Trent Jones Jr. to offer a firm and fast play throughout the year. However, in 2013, Poppy Hills underwent a renovation with Robert Trent Jones II's project architect, Mike Gorman, who redesigned the area's greens and softened doglegs that blend into the elevation changes of the landscape that forces its challenges to sharpen their strategy in every swing.

Let's explore the natural beauty of Poppy Hills golf course, which promises a relaxing and unforgettable golf escapade.

A Living Course that Changes with the Seasons

Imagine a golfing experience where you are surrounded by the towering Monterey Pines, sandy ground, water-thirsty greens, and the sound of nature. Poppy Hills is nestled deep within the living and breathing part of the forest, ensuring a golf escapade that doubles as a genuinely memorable nature exploration.

In spring, Poppy Hills offers a burst of vibrant wildflowers that bloom into its landscape, carpeting the area with yellow, purple, and white hues. Summer, on the other hand, brings the golden days, a perfect time to conquer every hole present in the Poppy Hills. As fall arrives, the forest takes on an amber glow that feels like magic. During the winter, a cold coastal breeze can be felt, making this an experience that changes every time you visit, depending on the season.

Navigating Poppy Hills's fairways is a surprising experience, as you should be expected to share the space with curious wild animals like deer. The sound of woodpeckers and blue jays will provide a cheery soundtrack for you to enjoy while playing golf.

A Challenge for Every Golfer

Poppy Hills does not only thrive with its rich environmental background; it's a test of golfing skills like no other. Each hole is designed to make it a new, different challenge regardless of their golfing capabilities.

This 71-par golf course offers a rough route through undulating terrain that encompasses ranges from tight doglegs up to strategically placed natural hazards, including tall Monterey Pines bordered with natural waste areas contributing to its overall natural aesthetic. Due to the changing environment at Poppy Hills, they employed natural drainage systems and laid out sandy soils that ensured the course's playability all year round.

To accommodate beginners in golfing, Poppy Hills offers world-class practice facilities providing a wide driving range, short game area, top-quality range balls, a chipping green that includes two bunkers, a large putting green, and targets at your disposal to make sure that you bring your A-game before conquering the challenge of this course.

Why Poppy Hills Stands Out

Poppy Hills highlights not just the game but also the experience of immersing yourself in the natural and unfiltered beauty of the landscape of California, making it one of the most unique golfing destinations in the state.
