Is it public or do you have a connection?

It's semi-public, but it costs about $200 to play, and the waiting list is months long.

Correct?

I wish it were only $200 to play.....we are staying on the grounds and get a cut rate to play 18 holes.....$425 :?

enjoy yourself.

I'm not much of a golfer...but I do play once in a while. The only high profile course I've ever played is the Black at Bethpage.

during the summer I play Bethpage black about 4-5 times. Insane course. I'm happy to par any hole and have yet to break 100. I got a 107 the last time i played there and thought i played out of my mind.

I worked there one summer when I was a kid - so I played just about every hole on all 5 courses several times, although not neccesarily in order... :lol:
It was a fun job...

I have played in a tournament at the Red Course, probably going to play in it this year as well.

I heard it was up to like five bills. And the waiting thing is correct, but I have a funny story.
My cousin and uncle had NEVER played golf. My uncle owns a house on there somewhere, and my cousin just decided that they should play golf at Pebble. It was a cold, drizzly day, and they went there at like five in the morning. So, lo and behold, they got off. Remember, neither one of them had ever played golf and didn't even own clubs...and, they played at Pebble, for their first round.

I have played about a million times in my life and only have played at the nice courses I work at.

Life isn't fair.

hahahaha... nice

my dad says Pebble is overrated... doesnt even put it in the Top 5 courses he's played... says it's all about the scenery though... just beautiful... what do you think?... was Spyglass better? or just more difficult?

very nice round btw

I hate the word over rated, but as a golf course, yes I think it is...my comment about it being what it is was about the scenery and just walking the course..honestly, anyone with a 15 handicap has a good chance to break 80 on it..if it werent for a triple bogey and 2 in the ocean I would have..anyway, spyglass is a great course and much harder..just as scenic on the front 9 as pebble but you have alot of deer roaming around to deal with as well.....if I went back again I would defintely do spyglass over pebble.

Id definately pay that to play Pebble. It'd be weird to play a course you've played on a golf game on PS for years though...
And id pay 10x that to play Augusta although I know thats not possible. I read a great story about a guy who snuck onto Augusta in winter, put a towel down on the 12th green as a pin...and guess where one of his balls was when he went up? What a great story.
