Pebble Beach Golf Links is one of the most renowned and visually stunning golf courses in the world, located on the Monterey Peninsula in California. Golfers have been captivated by this legendary public course since it opened in 1919, thanks to its oceanfront holes, strategic design, and historic championship victories. Pebble Beach offers the perfect combination of natural beauty and high-level golfing excellence for seasoned players and aspiring enthusiasts alike.
Its 18-hole, par 72 layout was designed by amateur golfers Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. Over the years, golf legends Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have enhanced the course. Nicklaus designed the oceanfront 5th hole in 1998, while Palmer led renovations before the 2010 U.S. Open. The course has hosted six U.S. Opens, including Tiger Woods' historic 15-stroke victory in 2000, and will welcome the championship again in 2027.
