having played 3 of the 5 i can offer a few opinions
torrey north is by far easier than torrey south, which i'd recommend in a heart beat. for residents my cost is anywhere from $20-$60 to play the either course depending on time of year.
pebble is clearly overpriced and is definitely not a place i'd play very often for $500, its not terribly difficult and there are a bunch of worthless holes with no ocean views. however its almost a must to play at least once but as the article suggests, spyglass is a much better course and much cheaper at $380ish
