“Low-handicap and scratch playerswill find this course most rewarding.”
Spyglass Hill Golf Course® was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., playing up to 6,960 yards from the championship tees with a rating of 75.4 and slope of 145 — figures that back up its reputation as the most demanding course among the Pebble Beach Resorts® properties.
The front nine moves through coastal dunes before the back nine turns inland through Del Monte Forest pines, giving the round two distinct characters. Green fees vary annually — enquire for current rates.
Spyglass Hill Golf Course® is a standard inclusion in premium Monterey golf packages — typically combined with Pebble Beach Golf Links® for the classic two-course Pebble Beach experience, or with Del Monte™ for a full Pebble Beach Company day. Monterey Golf Tours handles IAGTO bookings for both Spyglass and Pebble Beach as part of planned trip itineraries.
