That is *exactly* where they are! There is now a big 800-car parking structure as well as a very large lot right next to those fields, and in fact they would make a *Perfect* venue for a Highland Games....if someone wanted to bite off a project that monstrous!

I grew up in Carmel, and I remember the Games being held out on the 17 Mile drive, as well. I suspect they got moved when the old Del Monte Company, which controlled a lot of the forest land out there, got sold to a much larger investor who shall remain nameless. I don't know that, but I suspect as much.
