Since 1919, this wondrous slice of the Monterey Peninsula has been the perfect California getaway, offering activities for all to enjoy including families, the elite, world travelers and residents alike. Guests can choose to stay at one of three lodging options – The Lodge at Pebble Beach; The Inn at Spanish Bay; or Casa Palmero – and partake in grand recreation, including tennis, hiking, surfing, and of course, legendary golf.

The world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Links, host of the 1972, 1982, 1992, 2000 and 2010 U.S. Open Championships, and future site for the 2019 U.S. Open, was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. Hugging the Pacific coastline, the course boasts wide-open vistas, cliffside fairways and sloping greens, and was ranked No. 1 on Golf Digest’s 2015-2016 “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses” list, as well as No. 1 on Golf Magazine’s 2016-2017 “Top 100 Courses You Can Play”.
Other options to play include Spyglass Hill Golf Course, with holes along seaside dunes and tree-lined fairways in the Del Monte Forest; The Links at Spanish Bay; and Del Monte Golf Course, which opened in 1897 and is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River.
Another draw to Pebble Beach is one of the most famous scenic drives in the world – the 17-Mile Drive – as it is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the western United States. Opened in 1881, drivers and passengers can marvel at some of nature’s treasures including the Lone Cypress, Spanish Bay, Cypress Point Lookout and Carmel Bay; and see the emerald fairways of The Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Pebble Beach is located on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California. To learn more visit pebblebeach.com.
