Pebble Beach Golf
When you say ‘Pebble Beach’, many people simply think about the Pebble Beach Golf Course. But you can actually choose from 5 different golf courses at the Pebble Beach Resorts. Or maybe you don’t want to have to choose and you plan to play all 5!
Pebble Beach Golf Links
This amazing, coastal course was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. It opened in 1919 and is considered one of the finest golf courses in the world and is known as the greatest public golf course in the United States. Many golfers have put Pebble Beach Golf Links on their bucket list. Pebble Beach has hosted 5 U.S. Open Championships. It is also the annual host to the AT&T Pro Am, which is played in February each year.
Plan to bring plenty of golf balls. You’ll have lots of opportunities to lose them over the cliffs and into the Pacific Ocean as you make your way around this magnificent and challenging golf course.
Pebble Beach Golf Links Rates
2015 rates for 18 holes are currently $495, plus either $40 for a cart or $80/bag for a caddie. Taking a caddie is a great idea because they can really help you figure out which club to use and where to aim your ball. If you are a resort guest the total cost is slightly less. If you didn’t bring your clubs you can rent them for $95.
