 The Right Way to the Fairway! |
1, Old Ranch Road Monterey and Carmel, CA 93923 United States +1 831 626 2510 |
This is the only Pete Dye-designed course on the peninsula. The original course design was much more difficult than the current design. Pete Dye made numerous changes in 1995 to eliminate many sand bunkers and a lot of his trademark railroad ties, making the course much more "golfer friendly." Even so, there is still enough difficulty remaining with the many large sand bunkers, long, thick rough and trees in play. The back nine is particularly challenging with most of the holes built in the hills, requiring uphill and downhill shots from elevated tees to elevated greens. The greens are medium to large in size and many are tiered and undulating. Water comes into play on several holes. The Spalding Invitational has been held here in past years. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Miller and More |
Highway One Monterey and Carmel, CA 93920 United States +1 831 667 2574 |
Not only does this cultural center honor the work of controversial American author Henry Miller (1891-1980) with its collection of his rare editions and art, but it also provides a gathering place for writers and artists of all kinds. During Miller's heyday, Big Sur was a creative haven for writers like Jack Kerouac who immortalized the area in his novel of the same name. Amid a picturesque setting of redwood trees, expansive meadows, and the specters of the beatniks who loafed here, the Library functions as a community center where concerts, workshops, exhibits, lectures, and readings find loving homes. Miller used to call this place home too, but as they say in California, "mi casa, su casa." So make yourself comforable. There's free Internet access for all guests. The Library and its grounds, which include gardens and a redwood amphitheater, are available for private parties and events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Tribute to John Steinbeck |
One Main Street (between Salinas Street & Station Point) Monterey and Carmel, CA 93901 United States +1 831 775 4728 |
Located in the Monterey County town of Salinas, the lettuce capital of the world, this museum is a tribute to Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. A Bay Area native, Steinbeck attended Stanford University in Palo Alto after he graduated from Salinas High School in 1919. His most famous works include Tortilla Flat (1935) and the Pulitzer Prize winner The Grapes of Wrath (1939). His birthplace and childhood home, The Steinbeck House, is two blocks away from the museum. In the cultural center you can see Steinbeck's works, letters and photographs, hear lectures and take tours. It also hosts an annual Steinbeck Festival in honor of the author.

Your rodeo Romeo could be just around the corner because this is the place for all rodeo aficionados. But that's not all! You can flex your muscles with the community sports and games that Salinas's sports complex has to offer. If you like the rough and tough game, there's football, soccer and motor events. And even if you're not sporty, there's something lined up just for you. There is an exhibition mall, a rodeo room that can accommodate 200 people for dining and it also has a bar, a stage and a dancing area. Review © 2007, Wcities |
