Overview
Why it matters
Poppy Hills is the Monterey Peninsula play for golfers who want the forest, the pedigree, and the walk without defaulting to the obvious resort icons. The renovation sharpened the ground game and cleaned up the corridors, making it feel like a smart NCGA clubhouse secret in the middle of famous territory.
