Spyglass Hill in Pebble Beach, California – one of three courses used in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour – was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1966. The layout features an opening five holes through dunes to the water’s edge before climbing into a forest for the rest of the round.
The first three rounds of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am – Thursday through Saturday – also will be played on nearby Pebble Beach Golf Links and Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course. Sunday’s final round after the cut will be played only on Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Spyglass Hill, part of Pebble Beach Resorts, ranks No. 31 on Golfweek’s Best list of modern courses built in or after 1960 in the United States. It also is No. 3 in California on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list for public-access layouts, and it is No. 12 on Golfweek’s Best list of top 200 resort courses in the U.S.
Spyglass Hill will play to 7,041 yards with a par of 72 for the Tour event.
