Pebble Beach Golf Links
Pebble Beach
Pebble Beach Golf Links is one of the world’s most iconic golf courses and the headline round on any luxury USA golf holiday. Set on California’s Monterey Peninsula, around two hours south of San Francisco, it is a true bucket-list trip for UK golfers who want scenery, history and championship golf in one unforgettable place.
The course hugs the Pacific coastline, with famous holes playing beside cliffs, beaches and crashing waves. The short par-3 7th is one of the most recognisable holes in golf, while the stretch from the 8th to the 10th gives golfers a proper test along the cliff-top coastline. The par-5 18th, running beside the ocean back towards The Lodge, is one of the great finishing holes in world golf.
Pebble Beach has serious tournament pedigree too. It hosted its sixth U.S. Open in 2019, its first U.S. Women’s Open in 2023, and is scheduled to host more U.S. Opens and Women’s Opens in the future. The PGA TOUR also visits every year for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a tradition that began in 1947.
For UK golfers, Pebble Beach Golf Links works best as the centrepiece of a longer Monterey golf holiday, paired with Spyglass Hill, The Links at Spanish Bay and Del Monte. Add in Carmel-by-the-Sea, 17-Mile Drive and the wider California coast, and this becomes far more than just one famous round. It is a proper once-in-a-lifetime golf experience.
