PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. -- When visiting Monterey Bay and the 17 Mile Drive, be sure to book a tee time for Pebble Beach Golf Links.

One of several of California's finest golf clubs located within the guard-gated 17 Mile Drive include Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill Golf Course, considered one of the toughest in the U.S., rank among pro golfer favorites.

Selected by numerous prestigious publications and award winning golfers as the Greatest Public Golf Course in America, Pebble Beach Golf Links was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant purposefully hugging the rugged coastline, providing wide-open vistas, cliffside fairways and sloping greens.

Few thrills compare with teeing-up for the first time on Pebble Beach Golf Links. Since 1919, the challenging course has been the site of golf's most prestigious tournaments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships including the 2010 U.S. Open. The U.S. Open will be back in Pebble Beach for the sixth time in 2019!

While a round of golf is one of the most expensive rounds you'll play at a public course in the U.S., there are some great opportunities to hone your skills, and even treat your kids to a once-in-a-lifetime summer session at the Pebble Beach Golf Academy.

Junior Camps, Golf School Programs, Individual Instruction and Group Instruction offer values that maximize golf enjoyment for all ages at Pebble Beach.
