CUSTOMER REVIEWS OF MONTEREY PENINSULA GOLF PACKAGES:

"This was a family golf trip with my son, son in law and 14 year old grandson. We had a fantastic time and Monterey Peninsula Golf are to be commended. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone visiting Pebble Beach for a golf vacation."

Rob Forsyth  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"Played Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach - amazing courses and first rate service and accommodation. Thank you!"

Brian Carrick  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"Monterey Peninsula Golf was such a pleasure to work with. They were very helpful when my tournament did not get the registrations we were hoping for. My group went from expecting 30+ golfers to having only 14 actually register. They worked with the facility we were playing and was still able to get us a shotgun start on four holes, range balls, closest to the pin, long drive contest and custom carts. They really made our small group feel right at home and all 14 of them had a wonderful time, including me. Thank you Monterey Peninsula Golf for a wonderful event."
