Pebble Beach

About Pebble Beach

You absolutely must play this course at least once in your lifetime – it's the most iconic oceanside layout in America and arguably the most photographed golf course in the world. Jack Neville, a California amateur champion, designed this masterpiece in 1919 with minimal earth movement, letting the dramatic Monterey Peninsula coastline dictate the routing. The stretch from holes 4 through 10 runs directly along Carmel Bay, with the par-3 7th and par-4 8th offering some of the most breathtaking and intimidating shots in golf as you play over crashing Pacific waves. Yes, it's expensive – brutally so – but the conditioning is flawless and the experience transcends golf. The closing stretch from 15 through 18 builds to one of sport's greatest crescendos, culminating with the famous par-5 18th that hugs Stillwater Cove. Neville's routing genius shows in how he saved the best ocean holes for last, ensuring you'll remember every shot long after you've paid the astronomical green fee. Book well in advance and pray the marine layer lifts – this course in sunshine is pure magic.
