The Inn at Spanish Bay — Hotel in Pacific Grove

We went to Pebble Beach for my husband’s 50th birthday. He wanted to play Pebble and Spyglass. We stayed at the Inn at Spanish Bay. The hotel and grounds were immaculate. The room was cozy, had wonderful amenities and the bed was fantastic. Service throughout Pebble Beach was amazing. Staff were very polite, helpful and attentive. Every meal we had was perfection. All of the drinks we had at every bar were perfect as well. I would absolutely stay again. I loved seeing/hearing the bag piper. Views are amazing. We rented a car but parked it and used the shuttle during our stay. It is super convenient. Definitely hit the Tap Room, go big steak and salt board. You will not regret it. The salmon dish with succotash was also ridiculously good. The desserts were phenomenal as well. I also recommend breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean at Stillwater. Complete zen. The Açaí bowl was so good! Make sure to save time for 17 mile. The ground hogs/gophers are adorable and walk right up looking for a snack. My husband had a spectacular experience golfing and wished he could have done more. We bought some nice cigars in the lobby and a seagull stole it, in wrapper, right out of his cup holder in the golf cart! I had one mediocre experience at the end and it is the only gripe I could come up with. Our last night we wanted to sit by the fire outside, have a glass of wine and a small snack. No one stopped to speak to us. I saw the employee walk past us numerous times and never once ask if we needed anything or were okay. There was a party of people at another fire-pit that she was being attentive to. I finally grew frustrated and went to her. She told me that there was no more service at this time. Mind you, if she had taken the time to acknowledge us 20 minutes earlier we would have made the cut. I asked where we could find a glass of wine and snack only to be offered no suggestion other than go to your room for room service. So banished to our room, we did just that and the room service was great…I just would have preferred the fire outside and...

Check in was lovely. As we were escorted to our room, we were given an overview of the property. Our room was lovely. The bed was a little soft. The pillow menu and the snacks and soft drinks included were a nice touch. I enjoyed the sauna but the ladies locker room could use some more toiletries(razors, dental floss, etc...). Given the exorbitant amount they charge for minimum 3 day stay, you would think they could extend the lobby coffee past 9am! ||We golfed Pebble beach, Spyglass and Spanish Bay. I have been golfing 2+ years (24 handicap) and like to play fast! ||Pebble Beach was hard to see through the fog and our caddies were more of a hindrance than help! They drove carts with our bags on them!!! They had NO range finder!! When someone asks the yardage...they don't want an estimate - which was usually wrong!! Then when we asked for a club, they said "oh sorry I don't have that one, its back on the cart! " They had no intention of going back and getting what we wanted. So, I walked back to get it! I clocked 9 miles on my watch that day! Then to add insult to injury. you're charged $210 for the double bag caddie who did NOT carry a bag and on top of that they expect a $100 to $150 tip!! INSULTING. It was a VERY long 5 hour and 15 min round!||For Spyglass, we requested the caddies CARRY our bags. We were told by the proshop, caddies are independent contractors and we would have to ask them that?!?!? Anyway, we had two caddies that were better than the day before but AGAIN, everything was "about 20 yds" or "roughly 80 yards". Where we come from, Caddies are paid a lot less and are better trained! We had a painful 5 hour 30 min round. Its impossible to get a rhythm when you wait on EVERY SHOT.||Lastly, for Spanish Bay, we just took carts - no caddies! The GPS on the golf carts was accurate and it was the fastest of the 3 rounds clocking in just under 5 hours. woohoo! ||All courses are beautiful and unique and if you get a chance, go play them. ||For my money, I will go to Scotland or...
