Pebble Beach Golf Links

1700 17-Mile Drive · Pebble Beach, CA

Why you should go…

Pebble Beach Golf Links is a public course that hugs the rocky coastline above Carmel Bay, designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant and opened in 1919. It has hosted the U.S. Open six times, most recently in 2019, and is scheduled to host a seventh in 2027. Booking a tee time two or more days ahead requires a stay of at least two nights at a resort hotel, while rounds booked under 48 hours out need no stay. The PGA Tour plays the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am here every year.

Good to know

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
