If you’re looking for a golf experience that combines truly enchanting scenery, this is the place for you. Experts consider Pebble Beach Golf Links to be the best public golf club in America, and some might even say more than that. What’s certain is that it’s one of the oldest, established in 1919. Much of its admiration comes from its location on the coastline of Monterey, California. The area is breathtakingly beautiful, with the drive south from San Francisco—considered one of the most scenic in the world—passing through Monterey. If you’re in the area, don’t miss Highway 1, which connects San Francisco to the town of Carmel.
The golf courses themselves are equally stunning. The layout hugs the rugged, scalloped coastline, offering expansive and breathtaking views, open spaces alongside the cliffs, and, of course, lush green fairways.
However, as one might expect, Pebble Beach Golf Links doesn’t rely solely on the natural advantages it possesses. The club takes golf very seriously, hosting some of the most coveted and prestigious tournaments, including the U.S. Open, which will be held for the sixth time in four years. The club has established a golf academy with impressive training facilities, among the top in terms of instruction and training experience. Lessons are conducted by renowned international instructors, using cutting-edge technology and advanced training aids. The instruction caters to professional players, as well as large or small groups, and there are also private lessons, all aimed at helping each player reach their full potential.
Bottom line: the location is the bonus.
