FAQs
How much does it cost to play Pebble Beach?
+−
Green fees are $695+ for non-resort guests. Booking through a stay-and-play package at The Lodge or The Inn at Spanish Bay locks in guaranteed tee times.
When is the best time to play Pebble Beach?
+−
May through October offers the most reliable weather. Avoid early February (AT&T Pro-Am closes public play).
Should I walk or take a cart?
+−
Walk with a caddie. Pebble Beach is built for walking and the caddie's local read is worth the fee on the cliff holes.
