    I'm playing Spyglass next week and this is great with all your notes, thank you! To help I've collected them and posting here to help others : Hole 1: Finding the fairway off of this tee is key. Avoid the bunkers short of the green, bail out to the right.
    Hole 2: Long iron off the tee and then use the slope left of the green to let your ball roll down towards the green.
    Hole 3: Wind will play a major factor in club selection. Play for the centre of the green.
    Hole 4: One of the wildest greens in all of golf. Read the break on the green, then double it before you hit your putt.
    Hole 5: Middle green is usually perfect. Avoid going long on this back to front sloping green.
    Hole 6: Green breaks severely back to front, bombs away off the tee.
    Hole 7: If you can’t reach it in 2, just layup short of the water. If you can reach in 2, stay right and don’t go long.
    Hole 8: Be careful aiming at the flag if it is on the right hand side. Middle green is always the play here.
    Hole 9: Add one extra club on the approach shot.
    Hole 10: Hole plays decently short. Don’t be afraid to hit a long iron or wood off the tee. A driver has a small landing area here.
    Hole 11: Be aware of how far you can hit your drive off of this tee. Don’t go through the whole fairway.
    Hole 12: Plays a bit like #12 at Augusta. Hole seems to have a swirling wind that can be tough to judge club selection. Green will slope towards water.
    Hole 13: Big drive off the tee will leave a mid iron in. This can play as an extremely long hole if it is into the wind.
    Hole 14: Shouldn’t be reachable in 2 for most players. Stay short of the water on your approach to set up a good birdie opportunity.
    Hole 15: Short Par 3 and this will play down hill as well. Middle of the green is key, but the green will break more than it looks!
    Hole 16: Tee shot is blind, a cut is perfect play off the tee. Second shot will play the full yardage.
    Hole 17: Iron into the middle should give you a wedge in. Don’t get greedy!
    Hole 18: Green will slope extreme back to front. Stay below the hole.

    My dad played this back in the late 70s and also Pebble. Pebble at that time was $60 with cart and Spyglass was a bit more, but he said Spyglass was a far better test of golf and fun to play!

    Well done! Played Spyglass a couple times when the greens fee was about $75. . . . Mid 1980s in case you're wonder when that was. Good to see that not much has changed. One I recall is the short 4 par number 2 had lots of long rough in front of the green and a very narrow opening. Effectively discouraged bombers from challenging the green. It's been said that if Spyglass was anywhere else it would host the U.S. Open. Robert T. Jones has been my favorite designer. A couple have had par 5s on the first hole.

    Interesting video. played Spyglass once about 9 years ago. It was not my favorite. It’s a typical Robert Trent Jones design. Your game looked much better than the +8 you shot. But I believe you were playing the back tees, which makes the course play pretty long. Good video.

    • @carsonjoens
      @carsonjoens  Рік тому

      Spyglass and Pebble Beach are much much better than Torrey Pines. I wouldn’t put Torrey Pines on my top 10 actually, great course, but like Harding Park, I think it is definitely overrated when it isn’t in Major Championship condition!
      My Top 5 that I have played are
      1: Pebble Beach
      2: Spyglass Hill
      3: Olympic Club (Lake)
      4: Broadmoor (East)
      5: The Cal Club
      I have a ton of new courses I want to play soon, however for now these are my top 5!

    Spyglass is a much more challenging, scenic and better course than Pebble Beach. I’ve played both around 15 times each and love Spyglass much more. Don’t get me wrong, Pebble is an iconic, beautiful course, but for a single digit handicap golfer, my money is on Spyglass!
