You will be very glad you did!
Fact is, during my working years I had a perk in that I could entertain top customers with golf at Pebble Beach (about 1.5hrs from my home). That meant I got to play for FREE!
Nice perk...
Anyway, I logged over 120 rounds at Pebble Beach at no cost to me and for years it was my "home course". You could say I know it very well! However, despite the cost differences ($90 vs $500+), I would rather play The Ocean Course in Half Moon Bay than Pebble Beach. I know several others who say the same thing.
I'm very lucky to have it in my back yard. BTW, this is also Neil's "Home Course". His ranch overlooks the place.
I see him there once in awhile. Can always spot his '57 ElDorado Caddy in the parking lot! You can see the car in this great video:
