Pebble Beach Golf Links

Since 1919, the exquisite beauty and unique challenges of Pebble Beach Golf Links have electrified golfers and spectators alike. Designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, the course hugs California’s rugged coastline, providing wide-open vistas, cliff-side fairways and sloping greens. Over the years, Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tournaments such as the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and five U.S. Open Championships, including the 2010 U.S. Open. We are excited and honored to welcome back the U.S. Open to Pebble Beach for the sixth time in 2019!

I had a Sunday to play golf in the Bay Area and have always wanted to play Pebble Beech. I got there early at 8am and asked the starter if there was room for a single. To my luck there was a 3-some at 8:40. I was so happy, the weather was perfect, mid-60's with a slight breeze and I was going to play Pebble Beech. Green fees are $525, the most I have ever payed for a round of golf, but to play the Pebble it was worth it. We took a lot of pics with our phones, but I also took a lot of time to enjoy the experience. There are so many famous golf holes to experience. Number 7 is a great short par 3, number 17 is a tough par 3, and number 18 next to the ocean and heading to the Lodge. The greens are fast and there are a lot of traps, so you better have a decent short game. I'll always remember my round at the Pebble.

My daughter and I planned on taking the beach trail, but due to poor air quality we had to take the forest trail. It was beautiful!! We had an amazing time. The staff was great! We felt very safe even in the middle of all of this covid stuff. Everyone wore a mask and used sanitizer often. The only complaint I had was that the train could have been longer.

Spyglass Hill Golf Course

Stretching 6,859 yards at par 72, this Robert Trent Jones, Sr. layout is a demanding and rigorous course requiring acute skill and length from the back tees.

Reviewed By MartinPVernon - Los Angeles, United States

This is a must if you are in the Monterey Peninsula area and love golf as much as I do. This will be a bit pricey but worth it. At $395.00 a round it is less expensive than it Sister course Pebble Beach. They are located in the same area and have the same views of the ocean. I found it to be harder than Pebble Beach although Pebble is fantastic.

Good Value at $30 to play a fun par 3 course and you can play as much as you want - All the holes are 100 yards or less and the greens were great when I visited. Not sure when the course will reopen after the US Open here.
