Beacon View starts with a blind tee shot. Conservative players can aim for the right side of the blue building in the distance. Aggressive players can flirt with disaster by hitting a long shot, right-to-left, away from the house with the terracotta roof.

The approach here plays downhill to a green protected only by a small mound in front. Smart players may be able to get close here.

“A dramatic view of Point Pinos Lighthouse awaits the player on the 15th tee. Also awaiting the player is an uphill par four framed by dunes and native vegetation. While this is one of the longest par fours on the course, it is by far one of the most open, with several angles by which to attack this smallish green. Most players will be hitting a mid iron into the green, but the architecture allows the player to take an aerial or ground route.”
