The Monterey Peninsula Pilgrimage
Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Spanish Bay strung along 17-Mile Drive — the most photographed coastline in golf. This is the bucket-list capital of the American game, where every cliffside par-3 has hosted history.
The case for itWhy It's a Pilgrimage
There is exactly one Pebble Beach, and standing on the seventh tee with the Pacific crashing below is the single most recognizable shot any amateur can play. Pair it with Spyglass and Spanish Bay and you have a three-day arc through the courses that defined American resort golf. The green fees are steep and the tee times are gold dust, but no one who walks up the eighteenth at sunset ever regrets the price.
