'''Poppy Hills Golf Course''' is the newest [[golf course]] in [[Pebble Beach, California]], after undergoing an extensive 13-month renovation that was completed in April 2014. The original Poppy Hills was designed by [[Robert Trent Jones, Jr.]], and opened in 1986. Along with [[Pebble Beach Golf Links]] and [[Spyglass Hill Golf Course]], Poppy Hills co-hosted the [[PGA Tour]]'s [[AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am]] from 1991 to 2009, replacing Cypress Point in the rotation. Poppy Hills co-hosted the [[Champions Tour]]'s [[Nature Valley First Tee Open]] with Pebble Beach for three years, beginning in September 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Poppy Hills joins Pebble Beach as Nature Valley host|url=https://www.pgatour.com/champions/news/2014/03/20/poppy-hills-nature-valley-first-tee-open-host.html|access-date=2020-12-11|website=PGATour|language=en}}</ref>

==AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am==
Poppy Hills replaced [[Cypress Point Club]] as one of the host courses of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 1991.  The switch occurred after the private club did not immediately admit an [[African-American]] member, despite the request of the Tour. Poppy Hills last hosted the AT&T National Pro-Am in 2009. The AT&T moved to Monterey Peninsula Country Club's Shore Course in 2010. Matt Gogel set the Poppy Hills course record with a 10-under 62 during the 2001 AT&T.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Brown|first=Clifton|date=2001-02-03|title=GOLF; Gogel Sets Poppy Hills Mark and Leaves Past Behind (Published 2001)|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/03/sports/golf-gogel-sets-poppy-hills-mark-and-leaves-past-behind.html|access-date=2020-12-11|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

== Reception ==
The new Poppy Hills has been widely heralded since it reopened in 2014. Golf.com Travel Writer Joe Passov said the new Poppy Hills has a "Pinehurst-like touch, with just a hint of near-neighbor Cypress Point."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-07-14|title=FORE – Spring 2014 : Poppy Hills|url=http://editiondigital.net//display_article.php?id=1685913&id_issue=205275|access-date=2020-12-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714185537/http://editiondigital.net//display_article.php?id=1685913&id_issue=205275|archive-date=2014-07-14}}</ref> Golf Getaways Travel Writer Vic Williams added about the new design, "at certain times it feels like Pinehurst, other times like Augusta, with dashes of Pine Valley."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-07-01|title=Golf Articles: Poppy Hills Now a Monterey Must — By Vic Williams — Golf Getaways Articles|url=http://playgolfgetaways.com/articles/1440-poppy-hills-now-a-monterey-must|access-date=2020-12-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701065416/http://playgolfgetaways.com/articles/1440-poppy-hills-now-a-monterey-must|archive-date=2014-07-01}}</ref>
