Pebble Beach Golf Links

Since 1919, when Jack Neville and Douglas Grant finished their design work on Pebble Beach Golf Links, the course has defined golf where "the land meets the sea." Here's a bird's-eye view of the sixth and seventh holes, hugging the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. The picturesque village of Carmel-by-the-Sea is close by.

Cypress Point

Right next door to Pebble Beach is Cypress Point, a very private club on any avid golfer's wish list. The 1928 Alister Mackenzie/Robert Hunter design is ranked No. 3 on Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Courses, behind only Pine Valley and Augusta National.
