Pebble Beach Golf Links is an 18-hole, par-72 resort and public-access course on California's Monterey Peninsula. B. Morse promoted golf as part of the development of the Pebble Beach area.
The current official scorecard measures 6,802 yards from the Blue tees, with additional Gold, White, Green and Red tees. Nine holes run beside Carmel Bay and the Pacific, including the short par-3 seventh and the par-5 eighteenth. The original routing has remained substantially intact, although the course has been refined by several architects.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,219m (6,802 yards), course rating 74.9 and slope rating 144. Designed by Douglas Grant and Jack Neville, the course originally opened in 1919. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Driving Range, Practice Putting Green, Short-Game Practice Area, Practice Bunkers, Golf Academy, Golf Lessons, Club Rentals, and 3 more.
B. Morse's effort to make the Pebble Beach area more attractive for real-estate development. In 1916, Morse persuaded the Pacific Improvement Company to build a golf course as part of that strategy.
Rather than employ an established professional architect, he turned to accomplished amateur golfers Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. Their routing used the coastline as its defining asset, with Neville later explaining that the central objective was to place as many holes as possible along the bay. The course was briefly opened in 1918 before closing, then officially opened with the Del Monte Lodge on February 22, 1919.
Five days later, Morse formed Del Monte Properties Company and acquired the extensive Del Monte holdings himself.
Neville and Grant worked with the existing land rather than imposing a heavily engineered routing on it. Their figure-eight plan placed a remarkable proportion of the course beside Carmel Bay and used the natural coastline to dictate both routing and strategy. The underlying routing has survived for more than a century.
The most important early alterations were refinements rather than wholesale rerouting: Arthur H. Vincent lengthened the course and modified greens; Herbert Fowler influenced the transformation of the eighteenth into a long par 5; Alister MacKenzie contributed bunker work; and H. S.
Amateur. Those changes strengthened its championship qualities while preserving Neville and Grant's basic plan.
Pebble Beach continued to evolve as equipment, championship requirements and available land changed. H. S.
Amateur. S. Open.
Pebble Beach Company subsequently acquired a previously unavailable coastal parcel, allowing Nicklaus to design the present fifth hole, a par 3 that opened in 1998 and brought another hole directly to the ocean. S. Open, including bunker alterations on holes 1, 3, 4, 6, 15 and 18 and strategic tree planting.
S. Open addressed greens including the ninth, thirteenth, fourteenth and seventeenth, with an emphasis on recovering earlier dimensions while incorporating modern drainage and construction standards.
National championship golf transformed Pebble Beach's standing. S. Amateur in 1929 was also a landmark event in the development of major competitive golf on the West Coast.
S. S. Open.
S. Women's Open for the first time, won by Allisen Corpuz. Contemporary course rankings continue to place Pebble Beach at or near the top of public-access golf in the United States.
Pebble Beach Golf Links remains owned and operated by Pebble Beach Company as the flagship golf course of Pebble Beach Resorts. Public play is available, although advance tee-time access is generally tied to resort lodging requirements, while limited non-resort access is subject to availability. The course continues to host the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has a long-term championship relationship with the USGA.
S. S. Women's Opens in 2035, 2040 and 2048.
