Pebble Beach Golf Links
Iconic 18-hole cliff-hugging masterpiece — the most photographed golf course on earth. Note: public but books out far in advance — staying at Pebble Beach Resorts significantly improves tee time availability.
Best time to visit: April – October
Featured Courses
Luxury $$$
Spyglass Hill Golf Course
Demanding Stevenson-themed layout through forest and shore — considered one of the toughest public courses in the country. Note: public but books out far in advance — staying at Pebble Beach Resorts significantly improves tee time availability.
The Links at Spanish Bay
Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson, and Sandy Tatum collaboration — a Scottish-style links course along the Monterey coastline with ocean views on nearly every hole. A bagpiper plays at sunset. Same booking note as Pebble Beach and Spyglass — resort guests get priority.
Carmel Valley Ranch Golf Course
Pete Dye design set in the rolling hills of Carmel Valley — a beautiful resort course at a more accessible price point.
Quail Lodge Golf Club
Classic Robert Muir Graves design in a scenic Carmel Valley setting — a quiet, well-maintained alternative to the coast.
Mid-range $$
Del Monte Golf Course
The oldest course west of the Mississippi (1897), now open to the public — historic, charming, and a fraction of Pebble's price.
Poppy Hills Golf Course
NCGA-owned course winding through the Del Monte Forest — a worthy and more accessible alternative to the Pebble complex.
Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Course
Two historic Fort Ord military courses reimagined as public gems — dramatic elevation and superb conditions at a fraction of Pebble's price.
Budget $
Pacific Grove Golf Links
Scenic municipal gem hugging the Pacific headlands — one of the best-value rounds in all of California.

Where golfers actually eat, drink, and hang after the round — the dive bar, the post-round brewery, the coffee spot before an early tee time. Submitted by people who've been, not the food-critic picks.
