Pebble Beach Golf Links
Overview
Pebble Beach Golf Links is widely considered the greatest meeting of land and sea in golf. Opened in 1919, this oceanfront masterpiece has hosted six U.S. Opens and the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and routinely ranks as the No. 1 public course in America. Holes 7 through 10 and the famous 18th hug the Pacific along Carmel Bay, where waves crash just yards from the fairways. It is the centerpiece of the Pebble Beach Resorts experience and the single most sought-after tee time in the country.
