Anyone have a strategy for booking? Do you try at the exact time when the slots open or just check regularly? I feel like it’s a game!
Lol, it does feel like a game sometimes! I’ve heard using their online reservation system right at 7 AM can give you an edge. Just a strategy, but worth a shot!
I’ll give that a try! Anything that helps me avoid a phone call to make a reservation!
Golfing at Pebble Beach is a dream! Just to add, the green fee can be over $600 depending on the season. Don’t forget to include caddy fees, typically around $100 to $200.
Adding to that, if you need to rent clubs, expect around $75 to $100 for a decent set. Definitely budget for it!
What about food options? I heard they have some great restaurants. Is it true that a meal can run you around $50 or more?
For sure, some meals can exceed that easily! It’s a high-end place, but worth the experience. Just plan for it!
Don’t forget travel expenses! Flights and local accommodations can add up quickly. Plan ahead and look for deals!
Good point, terri17! Depending on where you’re coming from, hotel prices near Pebble Beach can range from $200 to $800+. It really varies!
If you want a caddy, you might also want to tip well—they work hard! Tips usually run around $20 to $40.
So true! Good caddies can enhance your experience and help with course knowledge, which is invaluable at Pebble!
I wonder, is it better to book directly through Pebble Beach or use a package deal from a travel site? Any thoughts?
That’s interesting, justin07! I’ve heard booking directly offers more flexibility. But travel packages can sometimes save you money if done right.
Just a light note, maybe pack some snacks! Golfing will burn a lot of energy, and those $50 meals can be hard to stomach if you’re playing on a budget!
