we place on the condition of the putting surfaces is a response to that. We think any golfer who plays here will be delighted with what they rediscover.” In his fifth year at the


helm, Williams comes from the perfect background to service his NCGA member customers having been an assistant at the private Desert Mountain in Scotts- dale, where pampering members is intrinsic, and at one of the busiest public courses in the world, La Jolla’s Torrey Pines. For the NCGA member,


the trek to Poppy Hills is the perfect golf trip. With free access to 17-Mile Drive with a scheduled starting time, members can play


a round at rates that are nearly 75% off the non- member price which, at $200, is by far the lowest in the Del Monte Forest. Add in a 20% discount in the golf shop, recognized as one of the top 100 in the nation three years in a row by Golf World Business magazine, and 10% savings in the Porter’s Bar and Grill (boasting an updated menu and 10 beers on tap), and the value of the NCGA member’s golf dollar has never extended so far. The commitment to value for NCGA members present from the course’s inception now extends to additional pricing options. A $25 walking sunset rate allows members the joy of twilight golf on the Monterey Peninsula. The experience of hitting a bucket of range balls, play- ing nine holes amidst trees fueled by fading sunlight or the mysticism of Monterey Bay fog followed by a beer at Porter’s for less than $40 at golf ’s greatest destina- tion makes a convincing case for the top of any list of the best cost-to-quality-of- experience in the game. The value promise in-


herent with NCGA mem- bership extended to the Livermore Valley in 1996 with the opening of the 27- hole Rees Jones-designed Poppy Ridge. Boasting one of the largest and best prac-


tice facilities in the region as well as a gourmet restau- rant, it’s possible for NCGA members to enjoy tremen- dous quality and savings without playing golf. But with a recently-completed fescue-removal project en- hancing playability, and an inviting $39 senior weekday rate, the Scottish-heathland inspired course functions as another compelling option for NCGA members. Both facilities also offer other benefits and discounts that are part of the NCGA Member Advantage— free lessons and clinics and free club fitting—as well as access to a discount range program. Many of the course


improvements and benefits added in the last few years have been guided by the feedback of the facilities’ primary customers— NCGA members. This phi- losophy of member-inspired improvements will direct the Poppy Holding Board, the volunteer organization overseeing both courses, well into the future. The Monterey Penin-


sula has long been one of the game’s kingdoms. But for the 160,000 NCGA members who call Poppy Hills their home club, the price of the pilgrimage goes much lighter on the wallet without compromising the qualities that make golf in the 93953 so special.
