Episode 117: Poppy Ridge

Our Northern California golf adventure continues at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, California, where we're joined by acclaimed golf course architect Jay Blasi for an inside look at one of the region's most exciting golf course transformations.

Jay takes us behind the scenes of the Poppy Ridge renovation, sharing his architectural vision, the challenges of reimagining an established property, and the decisions that shaped the course golfers experience today.

We break down the routing, strategy, conditioning, standout holes, and overall playing experience, while exploring how the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) is investing in its facilities and creating exceptional golf experiences for its members and the broader golf community.

Of course, the PLUG crew delivers its unfiltered course review, favorite holes, architectural observations, and final verdict on where Poppy Ridge stacks up among our California stops.
