    Sun and fun! What could be wrong with that? Pebble Beach is a world class golf course. It's an expensive place to place but it's on most golfers bucket list. You're required to stay at the hotel for two nights but you may get lucky if you drop in and find a cancellation the day off. It's a long shot but why not try It. We attend the AT&T ProAm every year and it's a nice place to relax and watch some pros play with some famous stars. I suggest going to at least one tournament there at least once.

    What a great event- we were invited by Charles Schwab to enjoy the ATT Pebble Beach Pro Am! This was a perfect way to get away, mingle with super-smart Financial Consultants and ... and the Pros & long time customers! Great Fun.

    Everyone says this is one of the best courses in the country if not the world and it truly is. Unfortunately the summer months can bring some unpredictable weather that can make the round much more difficult. In all honesty, I have never played the course (it is on my bucket list) but I have walked in at least 10 times as a volunteer for various professional golf tournaments including the US Women's Open 2023. Here is what I have to say about the course as a player with a significant number of years playing the game and watching the professionals navigate it. If the weather was really nice, scoring can be quite good, however with a 10-15 mph wind, some fog drizzle and colder temps, the course can be a challenge to score well. The front nine seems to be there easier nine holes than the back nine. The 6, 7 and 8 holes are aptly named the Amen Corner of the west coast by some golf publications. I feel the 8 and 9 holes to be the most treacherous holes with incredible seaside cliffs bordering the right side of the fairways. One of the biggest challenges is learning how to play the small greens on the course. Accuracy is a premium. I stood on the 7th hole taking measurements of each shot the player made and even after the wind died down and the sun came out, it was still a difficult 93 yard hole. But the few is definitely worth parking one's rear end down on the grass and just watching the waves crash against the shoreline. Even the sea lions just laid on the rocks enjoying a nice snooze.

    A bucket list course and definitely worth the experience. Our caddie, Denzel, was amazing. I highly recommend a caddie. Denzel was great at walking us through putts and chips. Unfortunately the fog rolled in right when we were teeing off, so Denzel directed us on each hole and knew exactly where our balls were landing. He was such a professional and made our experience that much more special. I played horribly. I was nervous. I was the only women in our foursome and the fog made it a wet, chilly day. We missed all the ocean views on the front nine. The fog lifted a bit for 17 and 18. We had a 'guaranteed finish' tee time of 3pm. Nearly 6 hours later we were done and it was getting pretty dark. They shine lights on the 18th green but the folks after us had to have had a very hard time seeing their balls. The staff was wonderful. It really is an experience, not just another expensive round of golf. We stayed at Spanish Bay so we were able to reserve our tee time. It was my husband's bucket list item but I enjoyed it just as much.

    If you never been to Pebble Beach Golf Links Community, then I suggest you drive up to the gate, pay the $11.25 and take the 17-mile drive around the community and some of the most beautiful shoreline of California. To your delight you will have the opportunity to stop at each of the check points along the drive with beaches that offer views of sea lions, deer, aquatic birds, and during the right season; whales! In addition, you will see surf and waves that will astound you. The drive is well worth the expense, with roads that are lined with fabulous houses, tall trees, and the smell of pine. At the end of the drive you can stop at the Pebble Beach Golf Course for food, beverages, photo opportunities, and souvenirs. A piece of history for the golf enthusiast, and a beautiful spectacular sight for nature fans. Highly recommend.

    Definitely worth it! This course is incredible. Course layout is super fun. The views on the course are unbeatable. The practice facility is first class. Manicured perfectly as expected. None of the "poor man's pebble beach" (courses near ocean PG, Half Moon, Sandpiper, etc.) even compare. The greens are perfect. Tee boxes are excellent. Fairways are as good as it gets. Food options are all delicious I recommend the Tap Room. So many signature holes 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 17, 18.... If you love golf then treat yourself.

    Most exciting golf event of the year is held here. You won't find more celebrities anywhere else, except maybe Hollywood. I attended for many years. And playing golf here is like going to Heaven and playing the best golf in the universe. With majestic views, and the ocean at your feet. You will love it.

    The most beautiful golf course in the world! @ 18th hole with the wifey!

    Hands down by far the nicest golf course I have ever played, ever. Does not matter when you go because the course conditions are always immaculate. Customer service is the best I have ever experienced anywhere. Can't wait to be back again very soon!!!

    Beautiful view

    What a beautiful, wide, peaceful area. My team and I were here to work the PGA event for 4 days 2020. So grateful to have such a beautiful view every single day working there, and a great experience. A great place to not only play golf, but also to hike. During my time there, I did see a lot of people do that. There were definitely times when it got really cold, so when coming here, definitely have a heavy sweater or jacket. Be careful your hat might blow away. LOL The views definitely was my favorite part about this place. Also, they do keep this place very clean & welcoming.

    Established in 1919 and originally designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, Pebble Beach Golf Links is regarded as one of the best courses in the world and the currently the top ranked public golf course in the U.S. Pebble Beach has hosted 7 major championships and is scheduled to host the U.S. Open in 2027. The course is known for its coastline holes which utilize peninsulas that head straight out into the Pacific Ocean. The short par 3 7th hole is arguably the most famous and photographed golf hole in the world. Pebble Beach Golf Links is a world class golf course that golfers of all skill level will be sure to enjoy.

    Stunning golf course, 1 of the most watched/photographed course in the world! I was blessed to be here a dozen of times, and this last month was for the US PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2020. It's such a gorgeous place with mesmerizing views in every hole. My favorite was hole 5-7 and then 11-13 views! The course is always pristine. The sunrise and sunset views alone, worth everything! Spectators can watch their favorite players thru the above lounge or can follow them around. Love their staffs, pick you up in the golf carts to drop you off places. Limited food options here during the tournament, unfortunately. The food course doesn't open till 11 AM on the first tournament day! So you better get breakfast at your hotel before arrive to the course! Limited food option, no vegan option on this year tournament! You got hotdog, burger, chicken & rice, etc. they didn't allow my friend to get just rice/salad. Really odd at a 5 stars course, and they are NOT flexible. Visit plenty of sponsor lounges for freebies too! We did enjoyed the help of over 2,000 volunteers for the event. They were very helpful.

    This course is rated the #1 public golf course in the USA! It is definitely a bucket list for all levels of golfers. It is a steep $575 per person. You're guaranteed a tee time if you book a minimum 3 night stay at any of their hotel properties. The only perk you get aside from that is golf carts are included. The golf carts are only allowed on the cart paths, so I saw a lot of people walking. I definitely recommend getting a caddie for your round, which is $95. My caddie Lincoln was amazing! Definitely making this an annual tradition going forward.

    YOU GUYS. Being that I have a full blown love affair with golf now (who would have thought!), Pebble Beach Golf Club was essential to visit on our way through Monterey to Carmel-by-the-Sea. My friend surprised us with a visit to the Pro Shop to which I totally geeked out. ++ Conveniently located at the 1st tee of Links at Spanish Bay, the Pro Shop allows for insanely awesome views of the ocean. A gorgeous patio is directly off the checkout counter, showcasing the most gorgeous landscape! ++ The Pro Shop is stocked with a variety of golf apparel, ranging in brand and price for both men and women. From golf shoes, outfits, hats and other, it's the perfect place to pick up a gift or a souvenir for simply visiting! ++ I opted to buy 2 hats (one for me and one for dad), along with a single stamped ball to bring home and was surprised at how reasonable each item was priced. Hats were $30, while the ball was a mere $6. ++ A round of golf, featuring 18 holes and a cart is a whopping $290/person, but what's better than saying you golfed where Tiger does? ++ The main restaurant is located to the left of the Pro Shop, which features a killer lineup of food and drink options along with an outstanding view. Although we didn't eat, we stopped in just to check it out. ++ It's quite the hot spot for celebrities and sports players alike - we even spotted a few! No Tiger though :/   I can't even imagine playing here, but would easily return for another go at the Pro Shop and those killer views!

Although it's on the Del Monte Forest side and no Ocean holes, the course is still beautiful and challenging with a mix of long and shorter holes, with sloping fairways, lots of bunkers, and difficult greens where you need to be strategic on approach shots, so it helps to play here a few times to get used to them. The course was in terrific shape today and pace was very good...finishing in a 4.5 hour round despite our group having lost a few balls along the way in the woods or thick native areas. I will say there were a few changes since I last played and I didn't remember it having so many waste bunkers everywhere the last time I came, which was at least 7 years ago. Although many people walk, I enjoyed having a cart because it's a rolling course and it can be quite a walk on a few holes to the next tee. I do wonder why they still don't have GPS on their carts. I would also suggest that they add some EV car chargers in the parking lot. Many of us drive 2 hours or more to get here so it would be a nice touch to be able to charge up the car a bit during a round, or while having a beverage or two in Porters before hitting the road! It's been too long since I last visited and I won't wait that long again for sure!

How private? 1100 members and you can only play if you are a member (must be invited) or invited as a guest. Now I have played MPCC , Spyglass, Pebble (twice) , Cypress and Poppy. If you are fortunate to play this course, the Dunes is actually the more prestigious over the Ocean/Shore course. Most members walk with a push cart. Although I am used to carrying my own bag, I am glad I used a push cart. Our round started at 11am and ended at almost 3pm on the dot. The course has likely the most undulating greens I have ever played, so bring your short game and be prepared for 3 putts. As a middle handicapper I highly recommend playing the blue tees. The white tees were probably a little too close for me. I played true to my 17 handicap bogeying every hole except the 18 handicap signature 14th hole. The amenities were all there. Tees, ball markers, balls, score cards, water, towels, etc. They even had golf carts available on the 11th hole in case you were running late or got tired and wanted to ride the rest of the way. If you are knit-picking the only bad part is a restaurant that isn't available til the 12th hole or someone driving around with a food cart. Some points of note. There is no signage telling you what hole you are on so it is good to be playing with a member. Covid protocols are in place so it is wise to bring ID and vaccination. No shorts or jeans are allowed. Pants and collared shirts are required and the shirts must be tucked in. Women must also wear gear that goes to the calf. My friend's wife was wearing expensive designer jeans and even she knew to go inside and buy a whole new wardrobe for the day. The course was well manicured and one of the most naturally beautiful courses I have ever played. All the staff were exceptional, friendly, and attentive.
