Pebble Beach at a discount

For any of you that have $1500 disposable income-seems like a good deal for a good cause, from today's World Golf Wire:



Brandon Tucker: Play Pebble Beach dirt cheap while benefiting the San Francisco Zoo

If you're a golfer who's always dreamed of playing for Pebble Beach Golf Links but didn't want to pony up the dough, you might want to listen up. If you've always had a soft spot for animals as well, you may as well get your credit card out.

That's because a special has just been released at Pebble Beach that doesn't come around very often. In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the San Francisco Zoo up the road, a generous benefactor has bought rooms in the Pebble Beach Lodge and blocks of tee times on Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill and are opening them up to the public for a steeply discounted rate.

The package includes a round on Pebble Beach and a second on Spyglass Hill as well as two nights in the Lodge. The dates are firm though, checking in Wednesday, July 22nd and checking out July 24th, which will be the day you have your round on Pebble. The package starts at $1,500, 41% off the rack rate. Rooms are also available at Casa Palmero for a surcharge.

All proceeds from the package will benefit the San Francisco Zoo, who will host a cocktail reception the opening night, where you can ask all the zoo questions your heart desires. If you're interested in booking, email sfzoogolf@sf.org or call (415) 753-7061.

Is that per person? Can't be...

Wait, how is it a fundraiser to buy something and then sell it off at a discount?

Matt,

I'm guessing the benefactor will donate all proceeds from the rooms to the Zoo.

But yes it seems like he could have just donated the money to the zoo instead of buying the rooms and tee times.  Either way, its a fantastic gesture and good to see this kind of stuff happening.

Sounds like a great cause(that zoo desperately needs some work!) and a pretty good deal. But I'm sure PBC was quite happy to cut them a great deal to fill some mid week tee sheets. The $375 pebble discount rate(no stay required) has been in effect almost the entire year so far for NCGA and especially Duke's members where it has been MUCH more limited in past years. I had my first play there last month and the caddy in our group said it has been super slow all year.

I was very afraid Pebble wasn't going to live up to the hype, but boy did it! It didn't hurt that we lucked out with one of those perfect Monterey days. Tough, tough course and what a set of Par 5s (well, except for #2)!!
