Plan your round at Pebble Beach Golf Links

Pebble Beach is a gated community. From Highway 1 just north of Carmel-by-the-Sea, take exit 399A, follow the signs for 17-Mile Drive/Pebble Beach, and enter through one of the gatehouses. Tell the gate attendant you have a tee time. Depending on your business at the resort, you may not have to pay the 17-Mile Drive fee. The course sits beside The Lodge at Pebble Beach. A tee captain meets each group on the 1st tee, gives you course information, and reminds you of your pace-of-play time.

Wear a golf shirt and golf-appropriate outerwear. Shorts and pants are both welcome, but not denim, cargo, or sweats.

Walking is allowed and a caddie is recommended. Caddies know the greens and yardages. They're optional and based on availability, so request one at least 72 hours ahead. Fees are $175 per bag for a single caddie and $125 per bag for a double, and the suggested tip is $100 per bag (single) or $75 per bag (double). Carts are $60 per player for the 2026–27 season and must stay on the cart path at all times.

The Pebble Beach Golf Academy & Practice Facility (3260 Stevenson Drive) is up the hill from the 1st tee. It has a 350-yard, double-ended driving range with room for up to 85 golfers, a 40,000 sq ft short-game complex with bunkers, chipping areas, and a large putting green, and three indoor teaching studios. There's also a putting green near the 1st tee. Across the street is The Hay, a 9-hole par-3 short course redesigned by Tiger Woods' TGR Design, along with a putting course that's free to everyone.

Rental clubs cost $120 per bag plus tax.

The Gallery Cafe sits next to the 1st tee and looks out over the opening tee shots. The Tap Room and Stillwater Bar & Grill, which overlooks the 18th hole, are both in The Lodge area, a short walk from the 1st tee. They're good options before or after your round.

Expected round times depend on tee time: 6:30–7:50 a.m., 4 hours 15 minutes; 8:00–8:50, 4:30; 9:00–9:50, 4:40; 10:00–10:50, 4:45; 11:00–11:50, 4:50; noon and later, 4:55. At the 1st tee, the tee captain tells your group its pace-of-play time, and the course uses a GPS-based system to manage pace. Visitors say rounds often run longer than these targets.

Resort guests can reserve guaranteed tee times up to 18 months ahead, usually with a minimum two-night stay at The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay, or Casa Palmero. Non-guests can book only within 24 hours of a tee time, if one is available. The green fee is $695 from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, plus the cart fee. Tee times have a 14-day cancellation policy year-round, rain or shine. If the course is open, you're expected to play as scheduled, and no exceptions are made before the day of play.
