Course Overview
Welcome to the iconic Monterey Peninsula Country Club, a true gem nestled in the scenic Pebble Beach, California. This prestigious club boasts two magnificent courses - the Shore Course and the Dunes Course - each offering their own unique challenges and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean.
For those who appreciate a bit of history, the club was founded in 1925, with the Dunes Course originally crafted by the legendary Seth Raynor. It was later refined by Rees Jones in 1998, adding a modern twist to its classic design. Meanwhile, the Shore Course received a transformative redesign from Mike Strantz in 2004, making it a standout course that has played host to the PGA's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
If you're playing here for the first time, prepare yourself for the third hole on the Shore Course. This challenging par-3 is a true test of skill, especially with the ocean winds and the stunning coastal views that might just distract you from your game.
A tip for newcomers: Wind plays a significant role here, so choosing the right club can make all the difference. Focus on accuracy over distance to navigate the strategically placed bunkers and tight fairways effectively.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate amateur, playing at Monterey Peninsula Country Club is an unforgettable experience that blends historical richness with breathtaking beauty.
