Pebble was GREAT. I've uploaded some pics so you can see some of the course. The water/view holes are amazing, BUT, I hate to say this but I liked Bandon Dunes better. Pebble is not in the best condition, the greens were recently punched and so they were a little bumpy. Also, it was SLOW. Our round took 5 hours and 10 mins and I don't like playing that slowly. I walked the course and carried by own bag so that I could get the full experience, but it was painfully slow.

The holes along the water are amazing and beautiful, but I'm not so sure that I would play it again. I'm very glad that I went there and played it once, but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon, especially since it costs almost $500/round. I also found out that they don't really let the caddies play the course very often so that they can book more "paying" rounds and that really bothered me.  I was so nervous to tee off on #1, but the truth is, it is just a golf course. The first three holes were so underwhelming that I wish I would've played better and focused on my game rather than being intimidated by "Pebble." Overall, so glad I did it, but it didn't exactly meet my expectations as the #1 course in America.

Yes, it is true. I'm going to the golf holy land in 9 days and I can hardly wait. I'm very nervous; it is a mixture of exhilaration/terror, but in a good way! ;)

I just want to play well and have fun and not worry too much if I hit a few bad shots. So much golf history there and what a beautiful location. I'm sure it will be a very memorable experience, no matter how I play.

Let me know if you have played Pebble, I want to hear about it!
