San Juan Oaks Golf Club • Hollister, CA

Dec 5 — 6, 202636 holes$395 entryMen • Mixed • Mid-Am • Senior • Super Senior • Women

San Juan Oaks' 2024 renovation reduced bunkers from 62 to 26, rebuilt greens for predictable roll, and upgraded irrigation for firm December conditions—rewarding precise angles and ground-game creativity over raw power. The flipped nines now open with a dramatic climb into the hills, setting up downhill tee shots and strategic approach demands.

Del Monte Golf Course • Monterey, CA

Dec 12 — 13, 202636 holes104 player field$375 entryOpen • Mixed • Men • Mid-Am • Senior • Super Senior • Women

Del Monte's timeless shotmaking test rewards position over power—wedge precision, correct approach angles, and patience in the pine corridors separate winners from the field, while putting becomes a divider rather than a savior on the classic, exacting greens.

Set on the bluffs above the Pacific in La Jolla, Torrey Pines in mid-December delivers firm coastal conditions and a legitimate championship test where Tiger Woods won eight times — an opportunity to post a score on the same layout the pros play.

Pacific Grove Golf Links • Pacific Grove, CA

Feb 20 — 21, 202736 holes104 player field$325 entryOpen • Mixed • Men • Senior • Super Senior • Women

The tournament's recent history shows that Pacific Grove rewards both local knowledge and Sunday charges—winners have closed with low rounds of 64 (Mitchell Hoey in 2025, Jerry Ledzinski in 2026) to separate from tight fields, suggesting that aggressive play on the exposed back nine is often the difference-maker.
