The mountain in the background is Hook Nose (naturally) and the view is from close to No 5 green back to the No 5 tee. This is part of the view that the people in the Black and White (above) picture see. They also see another 90 degrees right if they look that way. One last comment. I played Pebble Beach in 1970 and found I was forced to go 9 holes south and then come back (like a marathon). Consider playing 5 holes here and you are back to the 1st (and 6th tee). A short break if you want and then 4 holes to finish. A great design. - John Locke, 2/7/03
