Pebble Beach & Monterey
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Coastal classic
Pebble is the headline and the reason most groups come. The coastline holes earn the reputation. The 7th, 8th, 17th, and 18th are not hype; they are American golf theater. The inland holes are more ordinary than the mythology suggests. That does not ruin the experience. It just means you should understand what you are buying.

Pebble is the headline and the reason most groups come. The coastline holes earn the reputation. The 7th, 8th, 17th, and 18th are not hype; they are American golf theater.

You are buying memory, setting, history, and the right to stop pretending you do not care about the photograph. That is enough, once.

I didn’t stay there. I stayed 15 minutes away at a motel for $65 a night. Amazing little place. I got to walk on and play Pebble. It was the most amazing golf experience of my life. I had a terrible round score wise, but that didn’t get me down one bit. Every step I took, I could

My best friend & I had lunch at the Bench. It was a picture perfect day. We dined on a Monday in October. The restaurant was not crowded, the food & the service was great. Not too expensive for the most gorgeous view!! Highly recommend!
