Pebble Beach Golf Links is a public golf course on the west coast of the United States, located in Pebble Beach, California. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful courses in the world, it hugs the rugged coastline and has wide open views of Carmel Bay, opening to the Pacific Ocean on the south side of the Monterey Peninsula.
Four of the courses in the coastal community of Pebble Beach, including Pebble Beach Golf Links, belong to the Pebble Beach Company, which also operates three hotels and a spa at the resort. The other courses are The Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, and Del Monte Golf Course.
The first professional tournament at Pebble Beach was the Monterey Peninsula Open in 1926, which had a $5,000 purse. “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper of Texas won with a 72-hole score of 293 (+5). In 1929, Pebble hosted its first major—the U.S. Amateur.
Yes, the green fee for Pebble is $550, which was just increased from $525 and $495 a year or two ago. There was a time, of course, that it was quite affordable. Back in the ’70s, you could play it for less than $100, but that was then.
Open, and later designed the brand new fifth hole in 1998. That fifth hole was some 80 years in the making, on the one lot Morse regrettably sold before it was decided this land was made for a golf course. It was finally reacquired by the Pebble Beach Company and turned into an exquisite par-3 that favors Nicklaus’ signature high fade along the coast.
William Herbert Fowler. The designer of the famed Walton Heath in England, William Herbert Fowler can be thanked for converting a nondescript 380-yard No. 18 into the most dramatic par-5 finishing hole in all of golf.
Ever notice that the eighth and 13th greens are especially precarious and punishing from above the hole? You can thank Alister MacKenzie, who lent a helping hand to Pebble Beach before building Cypress Point.
A stalwart golfer who won the 1904 and 1905 U.S. Amateur, as well as the silver medal in the Olympics, Henry Chandler Egan worked with MacKenzie and Robert Hunter to prepare the course ahead of the 1929 U.S. Amateur. (Egan ended up reaching the semifinals in 1929.) Egan and Hunter – a partner of MacKenzie for several courses in California – reshaped every green, installed massive dunes-like bunkers and made lasting changes to a handful of holes, such as:
Jack Nicklaus’ competitive career has spanned five decades, and his legend has been built with 105 professional tournament victories worldwide and a record 18 professional major-championship titles. He is the only player in history to have won each of the game’s majors at least three times (six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens), and is the only player to have completed the career “Grand Slam” on both the regular and senior tours. He is also the only golfer to have won the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open on the same course—Pebble Beach (1961 and 1972).
Arthur Vincent moved to California from Michigan for lumber business in 1910. An avid golfer, Vincent quickly fit into San Francisco society and played in many championships. He built a home on 17-Mile Drive and helped Sampson direct some of the first work on Pebble Beach Golf Links.
When he was asked to build Pebble Beach, Jack Neville was a two-time past champion of the California State Amateur Championship. Neville won the inaugural event in 1912 at the age of 20, and would go on to win a record five times. Neville won his third state championship in 1919, the final year it was held at Del Monte. The championship then moved to his Pebble Beach, and he won two more titles in 1922 and 1929. Neville also enjoyed the thrill of playing with Bobby Jones during their two rounds of medal play at the 1929 U.S. Amateur.
Robert Hunter moved from Chicago to California in 1918, where he lectured on economics and English at the University of California, Berkeley. Hunter won the 1922 Gold Vase Tournament at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Neville stayed on at Pebble Beach as a real estate salesman for most of his life, and assisted Peter Hay in designing his 9-hole course in 1957. Reports also suggest Neville did a preliminary design for The Links at Spanish Bay, but no drawings exist.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Egan played his first game of golf at the age of 12. He attended Harvard University where he became the captain of the golf team, winning three team championships and the individual title in 1902. In 1904, Egan won the U.S. Amateur Championship and an individual silver medal and team gold in the 1904 Olympics, the last games to feature golf until 2016.
So Morse turned to his course professional Harold Sampson to improve the turf and playability of the course. Sampson was assisted by a number of top amateurs, most notably Arthur Vincent.
