This place is everything you read about it and more. Put your phone away and enjoy spectacular scenery and some of the most interest golf holes anywhere. Pack a wind or rain jacket and club up 1 or 2 along the ocean!!

This must do things in life. Sadly, during our day there was massive wind that made it a very challenging day. It's just something you need to prepare by the sea. The course conditions were good, the greens were slippery, and everything just worked perfectly. The marshal was extremely helpful and kept the round going in time. Pro shop was a nice experience, and the staff was super friendly.

There's a well known theme park that some people say is the happiest place on Earth. As a golfer, I can say that the Pebble Beach golf links area takes that title. My son, a friend and I played Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach. They share a common, wonderful practice area. I was giddy the first day on the practice putting green at Spyglass. I just knew that all the men putting and milling around were so happy to be there. Spyglass itself has a nice pro shop but is nothing the size of the Pebble Beach pro shop and stores. Spyglass was a wonderful golf course. My particular tip for playing Spyglass is to be aware of the rough which is thick and coarse. It wasn't too tall but it was extremely 'grabby'. Your usual chip shot effort will leave you well short of your intended distance. At the end of your round, enjoy a unique shoe cleaning. Of course Pebble Beach is iconic. I've visited Pebble Beach before. But this time, practicing on their putting green with the anticipation of playing the course was fantastic. Playing along the ocean was in my mind and affected my shots. When you get a tee time at Pebble Beach, they send you a link that includes tips on how to play the course. One tip that they give you is this - Know that the greens slope towards the ocean. Putting at Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach was the most difficult putting that I've ever encountered. So many times, you were sure that the green sloped away from the ocean but found that they did slope towards the ocean. But the degree to which this happened varied so I was never sure on how much break to play. Pebble Beach suggests that you get a caddie who knows the slope of the greens. Yes, Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill are expensive. But if you are an avid golfer, it's a dream of a lifetime.
