"If I had only one more round to play, I would choose to play it at Pebble Beach. I've loved this course from the first time I saw it. It's possibly the best in the world."
- Jack Nicklaus

Pebble Beach Golf Course was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, opening on February 22, 1919. The original layout has changed very little over the years. Prior to the 1992 U.S. Open, Jack Nicklaus made a some alterations, including rebuilding the 4th, 5th and 7th greens. The most resent change occurred in 1998 when Jack Nicklaus designed a replacement for the par 3, 5th, which is now positioned along a cliff above Stillwater cove.

Ranked the #1 public course in America by Golf Digest Magazine along with a #1 rating among the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." by Golf Magazine, Pebble Beach Golf Links is arguably the greatest course in the world. Featuring nine holes (#4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #17, #18) directly on the bluffs over looking the majestic Pacific Ocean, Pebble Beach is one of the greatest meetings of land and sea ever created by mother nature. Holes #8, #9, and #10 are positioned on cliffs over looking Carmel Bay and are considered the most difficult stretch of holes on the course. Course management is imperative to playing well at Pebble Beach Golf Links. With narrow fairways and well-protected postage-stamp greens, golfers experience a wonderful challenge throughout the round.

Pebble Beach has played host to a number of world-class tournaments over the years as well as co-hosting the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am with Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shores Course and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. A total of 10 USGA championships, four of which where U.S. Open championships held in 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2000. Pebble is also scheduled to host the 2010 U.S. Open in June.

My experiences at Pebble Beach have always been magnificent, I get out about once a year. Service is always tip top, course is manicured with a magnified glass and the Pacific Ocean is absolutely beautiful. The greens are small so checking the wind and elevation before club selection is crucial. The greens are a bit tricky so i always take a caddie, normally it is a good idea, but this last round my caddie was horrible. He could not read a green to save his life and was very unprofessional in his mannerisms, I believe his name was Matt Huntington and he should be avoided. Beyond the poor caddie experience, the course is great!
