Bob,

Sorry to see such happen, but is surely another sign of the times.

Does this come as a surprise to those out in Carmel?  From the article it would appear the writing was on the wall.  The place has lost money for each of the last 8 years (and from an economic standpoint those must have been strong years).

Has the facility adjusted their prices for golf recently? I seem to remember that it is/was quite pricey to play out there.

I was talking to a guy once in a SoCal restaurant and he said he used to live there.  I said why don't you still live there?  And he said because I got a divorce and the wife kept ownership of the place.

Later someone told me Doris Day owned if for a time.

It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.

I stayed there last year and it was ok. It was a good value at $150ish. I am sorry to see this as well.

It must be a great time to be a Democrat when $150ish is considered to be "a good value"!

Will the course survive on a stand-alone basis?  At what price point?

Any idea what the occupancy at the Lodge and the tee sheet at PBGL look like?  Perhaps they'll have a coupon day and I can return to maybe change my mind.  As I recall, the Best Western in Carmel had doubles for under $100.  That's more in my definition of "good value".

Lou, I think $150 is a great value in the rarified air of Carmel. They were spacious rooms on a lake or the course. It is always a great time to be a Dem. I must confess I resigned as local chairman to free time for other public service. So Lou I am not a D worthy of note, just a Dad, golfer and Tiger.

Not bad things to be, dad, golfer, and Tiger.  I hope you guys have a good season (i.e. the football team).

Lynn,

Not true. Her property is above the 17th green and 18th tee but she was not an owner.

Bob,
Glad I'm not booked there for next year's US Open. I took your recommendation in CV.
