Pebble Beach Resorts

Pebble Beach Resorts is a destination with more than one course worth playing in Pebble Beach, California. It plays well any time of year.

Access runs through the resort — book the stay and the course comes with it. Green fees run $675–$725 (Pebble Beach Golf Links). The property offers on-site lodging, which shapes how we build the days around it.

No. 1 for a reason: Pebble Beach is the round almost every golfer puts on a list and almost never plays. Book the stay and the course comes with it, so the trip starts the moment you land — no separate access to chase down.

It's one of the rare bucket-list courses that also works for a mixed group. Non-golfers have plenty to do on property, which is why we send couples, executive retreats, and whole-party trips here more than almost anywhere else on this list.
