I've driven by TPC HP many times over the years but had never played the course. I very much enjoyed the experience. The course is playing tough at the moment as they are growing in fairways for play at the 2019 PGA Championship, which made for a fun experience. The course is such a great walk, greens and tees are all close to one another.

The layout is very good, amongst the best in the Bay Area. Challenging but fair and really beautiful with the Cypress Trees lining the fairways.

The staff was great when we interacted with them. We had such a nice morning and were lucky to be paired with two similar level golfers who played quick and kept good attitudes! I highly recommend a round here.

The new Poppy Hills is a great experience that is on par with the courses at Pebble Beach Resort. The staff at the course were very friendly and courteous.

I will say I think that Poppy Hills has a collection of the best par 3's in the game. The course is fair and great but I was in awe of the par 3's.

I would definitely make it back on another trip to Monterey. Make sure you play this course when you are in town.

I didn't know much about the course before arriving so my expectations weren't high or low. Driving up I could see that the course was in excellent condition, which was very surprising after a very hot summer.

The layout was fun, it's the kind of course that you'll probably have to play a few times before shooting a good number but still fair and fun.

The staff was great, the food was great and we played for under $50 which I'm sure is a summertime rate.

The one knock I have is that the bunkers need new sand, keeping it on the green out of a bunker was next to impossible.

I will be going back with friends, I would love to see this course again soon.

I took advantage of the Golf, Cart, Breakfast, Lunch and two beverage deal thinking that the course must be a little rough for the price.

I was very surprised that this course was a very good layout with great views of the bay and a great pace of play (4:10). We did play at 7AM so pace of play may have been dictated by less players on the course but my experience here was exceptional.

I'll be going back to take advantage of this deal again and will enjoy my game.

I enjoy playing golf at Chuck Corica, it's a good facility with a nice staff. The course layout for Earl Frye is a lot of fun with reachable par 5's, challenging par 3's and some fun looking holes along the way.

The course isn't in the best condition but that's expected in California with the drought. Pace of play wasn't bad at 4:45 for a municipal course on a busy Saturday.

I'll be going back to play due to the fun and the good value at Chuck Corica.
