Amazing course, well set up for fans. Needs to be more entrances and exits for parking.
Fantastic day at the golf , no course maps available early in morning and signage to different holes non existent . Other than that it was incredible. Food , toilets etc very good.
Excellent
Had a wonderful time. There was a lack of seating for visitors other than those who had passes for concession areas. It was very hot and shaded seating areas would have been appreciated.
We attend every year. Noticed several improvements this year. Like the printed tickets and lanyards. The concessions seemed to be better organized and offered improved food selections. Overall, we had a great time at the event. That is until we tried to leave. Once again, traffic from the bus parking lot shuffles onto the main highway going in the wrong direction for those of us trying to leave the island. There is a left turn light of very short duration. Maybe six cars get through each cycle. The line of cars waiting to turn left is very long. Traffic control at this intersection is badly needed. I commented on this last year, but nothing was done about it. Please fix this. Thanks for asking.
The Players is a fantastic family-friendly event. The food offerings were spectacular!
Wonderful event well organized. Won't be attending the wine and dine again. Horrible, cheap wine paired with nice food.
Limited viewing areas,
Excellent time at Pebble Beach! It’s our 3rd year going and this time we brought our 1 year old son and it was equally as great! The staff popped our strolled back up when we arrived at pebble. Everyone was kind and helpful and always. Facilities clean and very kid friendly! Will be making this a continual family tradition.
I had a great experience at the Sony Open. It gets harder to logistically get there every year. There used to be shuttles that came close to our hotel the Hale Koa but no longer. I had to walk probably 1 1/2 mile to catch a bus. The same for my return afterwards. That’s hard when you’re 76 years old and a veteran at that. I wished they came to the Hale Koa to pick up the veterans that would like to go. I come every year but I don’t know how much longer if they make anymore difficult.
Love the venue. However, it would be helpful if there were more free water stations or at least allow us to bring unopened water bottles or bottles to refill.
The current policies for audience engagement at this event are deeply disappointing and counterproductive. Requiring spectators to remain an excessive distance from the golfers undermines the very essence of attending a live golf event—connecting with the game and its players. Moreover, prohibiting small cameras is baffling in today’s world, where capturing memorable moments is part of the experience. Most concerning, however, is the ban on personal water bottles. This policy not only feels inconsiderate but also shows a lack of regard for basic audience comfort and well-being.
I strongly urge the organizers to take notes from the Hoakalei LPGA event, which has set a benchmark for being genuinely audience-friendly. Their thoughtful approach fosters a welcoming and enjoyable experience, treating attendees as valued participants rather than an afterthought.
Unless these restrictive and unfriendly policies are revisited, I cannot, in good faith, recommend anyone purchase tickets to this event. Audience satisfaction is the backbone of any successful event, and failing to address these issues risks alienating loyal fans. It’s time to prioritize your attendees and create an experience worthy of their support.
Reason did not attend (first time in 14 years) was because the 2024 venue had practically zero capability for handicap or limited handicap to move around course. I was able a couple of times to catch a ride with a very nice volunteer w/cart to go out to 2 and 8, and another time to go up to the 10/14 tee area. It was very difficult getting back from those areas to the club house area and bus lot area.
Venue management advertised there was handicaped capability, but they lied. Didn't want to take chance and be very limited to just access to clubhouse area.
Extremely well organized and directions were clear.
Great experience! Suggest adding more chairs onto Hole 14 green and 18 green.
Location and shuttle bus were excellent, plenty of toilets and seating area and food stalls
Very scenic course and easy to move around. Plenty of opportunities to view players, good facilities and hospitality areas. Plenty of well organised car parking on the boundary. All this made our day watching golf very relaxed and enjoyable.
Everybody friendly and I felt a very warm welcome and very good fews. I‘ll be back. Thank you all😊
A great place to hold the Scottish open as access is good and the course big enough to absorb the spectators without it feeling rammed. Food outlets ok but more coffee stands required.
Absolutely fantastic day, really well organised, fantastic golf course with some amazing views.
