- Time – 2016
- Courses Played – The Links at Spanish Bay, California Golf Club of San Francisco, Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Shore), Rooster Run Golf Club
- Travel – I am changing it up here. You guys don’t need exact distances so I will give you the general idea. We flew into San Francisco and drove to Salinas to stay one night. I played Spanish Bay the next morning then we drove up to Sonoma which was our home base for the rest of the trip. I used the rental car to get back to San Francisco and Monterey. It was a lot of driving, but well worth it.
- Overview – A trip to celebrate some family birthdays, we went with my in-laws and my wife’s aunt and uncle. We stayed in a great hotel called the Lodge at Sonoma. I highly recommend it. I was there for the golf, but the wine tastings and downtown are well worth your time. It is beautiful out there.
- Food – In Sonoma I would recommend Rossi’s for BBQ and Saddles for steak (update: now both closed). We took one day and drove over to Bodega Bay where we had crab sandwiches and clam chowder at Spud Point Crab Co, which was really good! Check out some pics of Bodega Bay below.
Jimmy,
One of my most favorite places I have ever been. Spanish Bay is beautiful but as far as golf courses go, definitely not my favorite around there. Spy might be my favorite out there. Jealous about MPCC!
Cheers
Josh
Thanks Josh, be on the lookout for the posts these next few weeks. Starting with your favorite 😉
Why no play at Sonoma GC ? – excellent course. Chris
Hi Chris, it wasn’t on my list of Top 100’s I’m attempting. I’m sure it’s awesome, but unfortunately the resources only go so far.
