In 2003, more than 40 years later, the members decided to hire Mike Strantz to redesign a layout on par with the stunning land it was first sowed. "I wanted to shape the course to sweep with the natural terrain—the rocks, the trees and grasses, the ocean," Strantz said. "I dreamed that the course would appear to dance among the cypress trees on this coastline forever." Strantz designed 12 new holes and remodeled the other six to add more than 500 yards to the par-72 layout. Strantz was diagnosed with tongue cancer at the start of this final project of his life, but it is obvious that he poured everything he had left into it. He died in 2005.
This artistic design is located along 17 Mile Dr. in Pebble Beach with endless views of the rugged coastline. The proximity to the open ocean means wind is a major factor and makes for a marvelous test. The par-3 11th is the signature hole featuring an elevated tee that sits on a natural granite rock outcropping overlooking the green and costal vistas beyond. Since the course is private and gets very little traffic, it is in pristine condition.
The Shores Course was part of the Crosby golf tournament hosted by Bing Crosby, currently the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, from 1965, 1966 and 1977. In 2010, the Shores Course was resurrected by the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, replacing Poppy Hills Golf Course in the rotation.

Rob Forsyth ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Played Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach - amazing courses and first rate service and accommodation. Thank you!"
Brian Carrick ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Monterey Peninsula Golf was such a pleasure to work with. They were very helpful when my tournament did not get the registrations we were hoping for. My group went from expecting 30+ golfers to having only 14 actually register. They worked with the facility we were playing and was still able to get us a shotgun start on four holes, range balls, closest to the pin, long drive contest and custom carts. They really made our small group feel right at home and all 14 of them had a wonderful time, including me. Thank you Monterey Peninsula Golf for a wonderful event."
