Poppy Hills (pictured) will re-open for play on April 4th, 2014 after an extensive renovation that promises to bring the course back to the spotlight. Off the Course The Monterey Bay Aquarium was founded in 1984 and is located on the site of a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row of the Pacific Ocean shoreline. The aquarium holds thousands of plants and animals, representing more than 600 species on display, and benefits from a high circulation of fresh ocean water which is obtained through pipes which pump it in continuously from Monterey Bay. The centerpiece of the Ocean’s Edge Wing, is a 28 feet high 333,000-gallon tank for viewing California coastal marine life. Sealife on exhibit includes stingrays, jellyfish, sea otters, and numerous other native marine species, which can be viewed above and below the waterline. Connecticut State Golf Association 13
