Spyglass Hill

Robert Trent Jones Sr. considered Spyglass Hill among his best work, and tour players still call it the toughest course on the peninsula—harder than Pebble on most days, without the ocean to console you after 5.

The opening five holes tumble through white dunes toward the Pacific like a links; then the course turns inland and becomes a shot-maker's march through the Del Monte Forest, where doglegs, elevated greens and pine-framed corridors demand your full attention.

Hole 4 · Blind Pew

Treasure Island golf through the dunes

Every hole here is named from Treasure Island, and the short par-4 fourth—Blind Pew—is the postcard: a narrow, angled green sunk into the dunes near Spanish Bay. Savor the opening seaside run; from the sixth the course climbs into the pines and starts collecting strokes.
