Planning your Pebble Beach trip sounds exciting! The best time to visit is generally between April and June or September through November, when the weather is mild and crowds are smaller.

3

Absolutely, and I recommend at least 2-3 rounds to truly enjoy the various courses. Play Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill, and maybe Spanish Bay too!

I’d say 3-4 rounds if you can manage it! It’s such a special place, you won’t want to leave after just a couple of games.

I concur with April through June! Plus, don’t forget the beautiful scenery. You should definitely check out Carmel by the Sea while you’re at it!

6

And don’t forget to try some local food! There are amazing seafood restaurants near Pebble Beach that are perfect for after your rounds.

Yes! I loved eating at The Bench after a day on the course. As for accommodations, The Lodge at Pebble Beach is top-notch but books up quickly.

You might also want to consider Airbnbs in the area. They can be more affordable and sometimes offer a cozy local vibe compared to hotels!

But it can be pricey! If you’re looking to save some cash, try staying in nearby Monterey or Pacific Grove.

What do you think about the winter season? Is it too rainy to play? I’m curious if it’s a viable time to visit.

11

Yes, winter can be quite wet. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really want to play regardless of the weather.

12

But you could find some good off-season deals! Just be ready to adapt your plans, haha!

Are you planning to play any of the lesser-known courses? They can be more affordable and give you a different experience, but still beautiful!

Great suggestion! I played at Del Monte and really enjoyed it. Definitely a different vibe from the high profile courses.
