Samuel F.B. Morse, grandnephew of the telegraph inventor, hired golf course architect and California State Amateur Jack Neville to design Pebble Beach in 1919. It's a fabulous setting on the Pacific with a classic lodge and home of the annual "Crosby" PGA tournament. It has held US Amateurs, multiple US Opens including the Watson/Nicklaus duel in 1982, a PGA Championship, and is ranked as the #1 course in the U.S. open to the public.
The golf course flows over gently rolling terrain along broad, tree lined fairways with strategically positioned sand bunkers along the fairways and guarding the small greens of varying shapes and undulations. The stars of the layout are the 9 holes along the coastline and bluffs of the Pacific including the most photographed 18th hole in the golf. The layout measures 7,040 yards from the tips, 75.5/145, course/slope ratings with four shorter tees.
