Monterey, California
Monterey Peninsula
Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, and Spyglass Hill — the most concentrated collection of world-top-100 courses on the planet.
The Monterey Peninsula contains more top-100 courses per square mile than anywhere on Earth. Pebble Beach
Golf Links (public), Cypress Point Club (private), Spyglass Hill, Pasatiempo (an hour north), and
Bayonet Black Horse (40 mins south) form a bucket-list cluster for any serious golfer.
Pebble Beach is the most accessible — staying at The Lodge at Pebble Beach guarantees tee times. Cypress
Point is the Holy Grail, strictly member-and-guest only.
Trip Tips
- •Book Pebble Beach tee times 18 months in advance or stay at The Lodge for automatic access.
- •AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (early February) is the best time to watch pros play; avoid booking that week to play.
- •Pair Pebble with Spyglass Hill and Pasatiempo for a 3-day Monterey trip.
