Assuming you are in the Monterey area for KP week, or driving to/from one of the airports, here are my suggestions:
Monterey Area:
Old Del Monte is nice layout, smallish greens and many challenging shots. On 17, you can have a shot at going for the green in two and puring your shot into the crowd having lunch on the hotel's veranda ...
Laguna Seca ... short and quirky, off camber fairways, doglegs around hillsides
Bayonet / Blackhorse - depending on the renovation. either of these courses is a good test. Bayonet is longer and straighter, Blackhorse has more doglegs and elevation change.
I would avoid the Rancho courses. If you do play there you will kick yourself because you will realize that you should have scored 10 strokes better then you did ...
San Juan Oaks is a bit of a drive as is Salinas Fairways.
If you want the best option within 40 minutes of Monterey, another round at Pasatiempo should be an option.
To/from Airports:
San Jose - unless Huckaby invites you to Santa Teresa or you want to see first hand the course known as "The Ranch", drive over the hill directly to Pasatiempo or onto to Monterey.
San Francisco - Sure, Harding Park is an option, more so if you want to play a course the Pro's play but Presdio is also a decent option. Any other options down the peninsula are not worth it unless you can swing Stanford ... Half Moon Bay, the Ocean Course, is a decent option but by all means, avoid driving down Hwy from San Francisco. Yes, it is beautiful but you aren't bringing your wife, a bottle of wine and a picnic lunch so the extra hour of driving time isn't worth it.
Oakland - flying into Oakland gives you 2 decent options, Metropolitan (a co-Johnny Miller design where he must have let someone else do the work) and Monarch Bay (the old Tony Lema) in San Leandro. Distinctive bunkering and a solid test set along the bay but turf conditions have been tough the past few years).
Traffic patterns in the Bay Area can be a mess, depending on your arrival / departure times, it might be best to skip the golf and head away from the airports to avoid the traffic ...
