The famed Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of three courses used in this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour, was designed by amateur architects Douglas Grant and Jack Neville. The layout on cliffs above the Pacific Ocean opened in 1919.
The first three rounds of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am – Thursday through Saturday – also will be played on nearby Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course. Sunday’s final round after the cut will be played only on Pebble Beach Golf Links.
A public-access layout and part of a popular resort of the same name, Pebble Beach ranks No. 9 on Golfweek’s Best list of classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S. and No. 1 in California on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list. It is also Golfweek’s Best highest-ranked resort course in the U.S.
Pebble Beach has been home to six U.S. Opens and slated to host the event again in 2027. It also hosted the 1977 PGA Championship and has been home to the pro-am since 1947.
This week Pebble Beach Golf Links will play to 6,972 yards with a par of 72.
