Insider Tips
- 01Lodge guests get the best tee times. Public tee times open 18 days out at 8am PST. Lodge guests book 60 days out.
- 02The 7th hole is exactly what you think. At 106 yards over a cliff, it still gets you every time.
- 03Walk with a caddie. Pebble Beach's caddies are some of the most experienced in the country.
- 04The marine layer burns off by 10am most summer days. An 8am tee time often starts foggy and clears on the back nine.
- 05Spyglass is the smartest second round — better value, comparable challenge, world-class ocean holes.
