Absolutely Stunning. The overall condition of the course was outstanding. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful.

Monterey Peninsula's Dunes Course is one of the best courses in the Pebble Beach/Monterey Peninsula area. It definitely doesn't get the praise it deserves due to the better known courses in the area and MPCC's Shore course being used in the AT&T. It has been updated since it's Reese Jones remodel, and is always in good to great shape. It's simply a great course.

This was a special experience. Loved the 14th hole across 17 Mile Drive with a big audience! And lunch after the 10th hole. Many holes were serious challenges so not great for a handicapper much worse than me at 16.
