Clearly the tougher of the two HMB courses. The other, links style course is more picturesque, has no houses, windier and more forgiving of errant shots. Most holes are intriguing enough to be player's holes. Difficult to figure out 16th leads to rewarding 17th and fabulous 18th. Second best 18th in Northern California after the oft-televised one in Monterey peninsula. Helpful staff, remarkably well-maintained even in times of poor weather. On course food and facilities are a bit lacking.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
