You don't need to pony up the dough for a room at the expensive Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, Calif. to enjoy the beautiful coastal view and a sunset serenade from a Scottish bag piper at dusk.
We hit up the hotel's Lobby Lounge on Saturday night where vacationing golfers and their families gathered around one of the four fire pits on the back terrace. Here you can take in the killer views of the Pacific Ocean and the second hole of the Links at Spanish Bay.

Our older-man crush on Bill Marriott is officially over thanks to his latest blog post about Marriott Golf where he writes:
A lot of my fellow corporate executives like to play golf. I have a set of clubs, but they're a little bit rusty and I've got to tell you, golf is a handicap for me. I've never been able to play the game well and that's always been a frustration. I'm sure some of you know how I feel.
Ah Bill, what coulda been. Unfortunately, we need a man who can play golf and play it well. How embarrassing would it have been if we went on a date on the links with Bill and we outscored him. Or is that underscored him? Maybe Bill can pay Tiger Woods for some lessons? That could resuscitate our crush. At least we still have the Marriott Bear.
· Bill could eat his own dogfood and improve at golf.
[Marriott]
· Or Bill could play the "best golf course no one knows about" and stay at the Inn.
[Inn at St. Ives]
· Or Bill could just go from broke at Pebble Beach [The Inn at Spanish Bay]
· Or stay at a *gasp* Westin, in the country that invented golf [The Westin Turnberry Resort Scotland]
