Since 2010, the rotation includes a round each at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and the Shore Course at MPCC, with the final round after a 54-hole cut returning to Pebble Beach. The unique setup of what is now called the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am favors familiarity.
The tee shot to the par-3 seventh hole: This just might be golf's most famous one-shotter. Pebble's drop-shot seventh, at roughly 100 yards, can still require the pros to use a middle iron when the wind is gusting.
When it comes to difficulty, even pros fear the uphill climbs and elevated greens at Spyglass Hill, one of the toughest courses annually on the PGA Tour. Pebble Beach ultimately wins the debate, though. The ocean is actually in play on its most famous holes, 7-8 and 17-18.

“It's one of the most intimidating golf courses I've ever played. You get caught up in the views so easily, and all of a sudden, you've got all of these difficult shots into greens that look like the size of dimes.” The average green depth at Pebble Beach is just 26 paces, which is exactly what No. 4 measures.
With a course rating of 75.5 and a slope rating of 144, on paper, Spyglass Hill is the hardest course that I have played. The course has always been known as a tough track. In 1966, the year it opened, Bing Crosby bet Jack Nicklaus that he wouldn't be able to break par.
8th Hole (par-4 428 yds) As with its neighbour, the 7th, hole 8 at Pebble Beach is one of the most instantly recognisable in world golf. Approaching the tee, it's very easy to let the mind wander and get caught up in a second shot once described by Jack Nicklaus as his favourite in the game.
No. 7 at Pebble Beach is one of the most iconic holes in golf. It's a short par 3, but wind plays a major factor.
