Pebble Beach Golf Links
A stop on 17 Mile Drive, a free self-guided tour.
Pebble Beach Golf Links opened in 1919, designed by two amateurs, Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. It is one of the few top-ranked courses in the world that the public can play, for a steep price.
The course has hosted the U.S. Open six times, with another scheduled for 2027, and its moments are famous. In 1972 Jack Nicklaus hit a 1-iron on the par-3 17th that struck the flagstick and stopped near the hole. In 1982 Tom Watson chipped in from the rough on the same hole to beat Nicklaus. In 2000 Tiger Woods won by 15 strokes, a record margin for a major championship.
The 7th hole is just over 100 yards, a short downhill par 3 to a green on the edge of the ocean, but the wind can make it fiendish.
The course also hosts the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car show each August, on the 18th fairway.
