“Metropolitan Golf Links will test all level of players and will become a championship-links that offers a great golf experience and spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay.” Johnny Miller. When other nearby courses are flooded or muddy, The Metropolitan Golf Links is playable - and fun to play. In the tradition of the great links courses, The Metropolitan Golf Links is wide open. There’s even some heather and clusters of native grasses to add to the ambiance. But the fairways are mostly open and the greens are large and receptive so that even the high-handicapper can get around expeditiously. Golfers who play The Metropolitan Golf Links frequently know to find the correct part of the green for their approach shots and learn to putt the undulating green surfaces. |

7th (Wednesday) Lefty / Guest - Turkey Shoot Seascape Golf Course 610 Clubhouse Drive Aptos, CA 95003 |
Perched on the coastal highlands of the northern Monterey Peninsula, Seascape Golf Club offers today's golfers a step back in time to roam a classic course while the sound of ocean waves crash in their ears. Built in 1926 as Rio Del Mar Country Club, the course took a sabbatical during World War II, when it served as a "victory garden" to help grow crops for the nation's war effort. It resurrected at war's end as Seascape, an exceedingly playable 18 holes spread over 6,000 + yards, largely protected from wind by the cypress, Monterey pine and eucalyptus trees lining the course. Barely a half-mile from the crashing waves of the Santa Cruz coast, Seascape's classic design features manicured fairways and well positioned bunkers that guard small tricky greens. |
