Golf Course Information

The spectacular setting offers panoramic ocean views of some of 17-Mile Drive’s most scenic stretches, showing off whitecaps bouncing on the power Pacific and a brilliant sunset. The Links at Spanish Bay is very much a sensory overload, with the smell of the beach carried in by a cooling ocean breeze, the sight of the spectacular jagged coastline, and the sound of the famed bagpiper leading you home at the end of a twilight round. The Links at Spanish Bay requires precision and patience while negotiating sand dunes, pot bunkers, challenging greens and an ocean breeze. Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum teamed up to artfully craft a distinctly Scottish look, blending green and golden hues against a spectacular beachside backdrop to produce a memorable experience unlike any other in Pebble Beach.

Sand is the most recurring theme on The Links at Spanish Bay; the fairways weave through a series of sand dunes, many of which were actually created during course construction. The frequent sandy dunes by which the fairways meander through generate a true links-feel on the course, with players on cold weather days frequently needing to remind themselves that they aren’t playing in Scotland. As always on coastal courses along The Pacific, wind is a major factor and club selection, along with precise hitting is paramount to a good-looking scorecard. Alternatively, you can admire the views over The Pacific and let loose as you see fit, whilst soaking in the fantastic golf course.
