Great point! I found a cozy apartment through Airbnb last spring. It felt like home and saved us a ton compared to hotels.
Look into package deals offered by the local courses – sometimes they throw in lodging with discounted golf rates!
What about camping? There’s a lovely spot called Carmel River State Beach. Perfect if you enjoy nature and want to save some cash.
That’s a smart move! It really helps to package both for lodging and golf. You get to maximize savings that way.

If you’re flexible with your travel dates, consider visiting during the off-peak season. Prices for lodging can drop significantly.
Some hotels offer a rewards program. Joining can lead to discounts on your stays—definitely worth checking out!

Totally agree! I saved a good amount by using hotel points for my stay at a nearby hotel last summer.

Can anyone recommend specific websites for finding better deals on hotels or vacation rentals?
You can try Kayak or HotelTonight for last-minute deals. They often feature significant discounts for nearby stays.
I also recommend Skyscanner. They list various options and sometimes have less-known listings that are cheaper!
Remember, Pebble Beach can be a pricey adventure. You might need to balance between lodging and your golf aspirations to keep it within budget!
Exactly! It’s all about planning. Maybe I’ll just show up with a set of clubs, a sleeping bag, and some snacks in my trunk!
If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to Pebble Beach, check out Spyglass Hill Golf Course. The scenery is stunning and the rates are much easier on the wallet!
I’ve heard great things about Pacific Grove Golf Links too! It’s very affordable, and you’ll get breathtaking ocean views without breaking the bank.
Totally agree with you, murphyerik! Pacific Grove is a hidden gem. The layout is fun and unique, making it a great experience.
Another course worth trying is Bayonet and Black Horse. It’s known for its impressive views and is quite a bit cheaper than Pebble Beach.
I’ve played Bayonet; it’s challenging but rewarding! Their amenities are decent too, especially for the price.
If you’re up for a little drive, take a look at the courses in Salinas. They’re often less crowded and still offer lush green fairways.

Has anyone here tried the Seaside course? I’ve heard mixed reviews, but it’s generally much cheaper than Pebble Beach.
