Golf – Spanish Bay
Golf at Spanish Bay for 4 players
Spanish Bay recalls the original Scottish concept of the game golf, established over five hundred years ago. This was the intention of the design team, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum, in their creation of a true links golf course. Links is an old Scottish word for sandy wasteland, usually near the sea, with bristly grasses and ever prevailing wind. The Links at Spanish Bay are so authentic that even the Monterey coastline mirrors the rugged, natural beauty of Scotland.
Time: 10:40am
Location: Spanish Bay
Transportation: not provided; transportation can be arranged at Portola Hotel.
Ticket Price: $260/person
Reservations: Contact Daryl Griffith at 831-625-8502 for reservations and credit card information.

Please provide player names. Offer expires June 13th so make your reservations early.
