Pebble Beach

🏖️ Background

📅 When to Go

• May and June often bring coastal fog ('May Gray' / 'June Gloom') that can obscure views until noon.
• September and October are typically the clearest and driest months.
• Pack for all conditions — temperatures range from 50–70°F year-round.

Upcoming Events

• AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Early February): Tee times at Pebble and Spyglass are blocked for several days. Avoid if you're not attending the event.
• USGA Qualifiers (Bayonet & Blackhorse) (Late July): Expect course closures or heavy traffic.

✈️ Getting There

• 🚗 Drive: 2 hours from San Francisco, 5 hours from LAX
• ✈️ Airport: Monterey Regional Airport (15 mins)
• 🚌 Shuttle Tips: Use resort shuttles — they're fast and more convenient than driving between courses.

⚠️ Course Conditions

⏰ Tee Time Tips

• Avoid late afternoon rounds after November — daylight fades fast.
• 7:00–8:00am tee times are best for pace and light.
• 3:00pm tee times may not finish in fall/winter, even if 'guaranteed'.

💡 Destination Tips

• Use waterproof shoes in morning rounds
• Bring chapstick — it's windy
• Use a putter off tight lies around greens
• Club up into wind
• Take advantage of the shuttle system
