MPCC, Dunes Golf Course - Pebble Beach, California

Monterey Peninsula Country Club opened in July 1926 with the Dunes Course, a vision of Pebble Beach founder, Samuel F. B. Morse. Currently the club is comprised of two courses, the Shores Course was not built until 1959 after the members purchased the club from Del Monte Properties. The club properties account for roughly four hundred acres of land in the central region of the Monterey Peninsula.

The Dunes Course was originally designed by golf architect Seth Raynor and Robert Hunter completed the work following Raynor's death. A little over 70 years later, the members hired Rees Jones in 1997 to reconstruct and fix some drainage/layout issues. This course is located on a beautiful piece of land, with rolling typography, which stretches from the Del Monte forest all the way down to the rocky Pacific Coastline. The inland portion weaves through the majestic Del Monte pine forest, with undulating, tree-lined fairways and large multi-tiered greens. As you reach the coastline this course starts to shine with sprawling vistas of the natural landscape.

The Dunes Course was part of the Crosby golf tournament hosted by Bing Crosby, currently the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, from 1947 to 1964.
