WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT PEBBLE BEACH

Everyone has seen Pebble Beach on TV, and it is the most beautiful golf course in America, without a doubt. However, you may not know is that area around Pebble Beach has much more than just one great golf course. It's known as the Monterey Peninsula, and within its small area are over 20 golf courses and 4 of the top 100 golf courses in the USA. This is why it's the top vacation destination of up-market American golfers.

What makes the golf so great? It's a combination of superb, challenging courses with breathtaking scenery and a beautiful year-round climate.

Just take a look at the top ranked golf courses: Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Spanish Bay, Poppy Hills, Pasatiempo that you will play.

Beyond the golf, the Monterey Peninsula is a playground for discerning travellers. Centred around the charming beach-side town of Carmel, one finds some of the finest restaurants in California. There is plenty to do and enjoy, including up-market shops and boutiques.

If you are in the mood for touring, Carmel is the gateway to the rugged California coast down to Big Sur. A day trip to San Francisco finds one cruising along the famous California Coast Highway 1. Of course, San Francisco has several day's worth of world-class restaurants, museums and sights.

TRAVELLING TO CALIFORNIA

If you've never flown to California, you may be wary of the travel. Let us assure you that it is not an obstacle. Flights take 10.30 hours (London to Miami is 9 hours), and you can sleep until arrival. It's well worth the extra distance once you get to Monterey, since nothing in Florida or Myrtle Beach compares to the quality of Pebble Beach. The golf is much more exciting, and the resort is much more relaxing.

Side-trips to California Wine Country

If you are worried that a golf-only escape won't work for your family or spouse, and you need activities that will appeal to everyone, we have a simple answer: Plan a side-trip to California Wine Country. The regions of Napa and Sonoma in Northern California, and Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez and Ojai in Southern California are justly world-famous for their wine, cuisine and charm.

We can handle all the arrangements from accomodations, arranging reservations at world-class restaurants to planning a wine tour itinerary. Combining golf in Monterey with a tour of either the Northern or Southern California wine country makes for a complete holiday experience that everyone will remember fondly.

See our pages on California Wine Country tours for details.

An additional benefit for the British traveller is the ability to enjoy Pebble Beach at favorable exchange rates. The Americans that travel there are paying top dollar for lodging, golf and dining. However, the costs are much more reasonable for you, the UK or Irish resident, since both Sterling and the Euro are very strong against the Dollar these days.

THE BEST MONTHS TO VISIT MONTEREY / PEBBLE BEACH

The weather is excellent in Pebble Beach for 10 months of the year. Early Spring and late Autumn are wonderful times to visit, with warm sunshine, minimal fog and fewer crowds. October thru December are especially rewarding times to visit Monterey and Pebble Beach for the UK native. January and February are the riskiest in terms of weather. To see how temperate the year-round climate is, look at the average daily temperatures for Pebble Beach, CA in the chart below.

Being on the coast means that there can be foggy days, but most afternoons will find sunshine. You may recall US Open footage from Pebble Beach Golf Links in 1992 or 2000 where there was a mix of brilliant sunshine, a bit of fog, and a rather windy day. All of those conditions can occur - but since Monterey has several "micro-climates" - it is easy to find fairer conditions at any time!

2. Preferred Tee times
3. Great Weather

ABOUT PEBBLE BEACH

Pebble Beach Company was founded by Samuel F. B. Morse, who was a distant cousin of telegraph-inventor Samuel Finley Breese Morse.

The Pebble Beach Company was established in 1919 with the opening of the Pebble Beach Golf links and the Del Monte Lodge (now the Lodge at Pebble Beach). Today the Lodge is one of the finest resort hotels in the world. Facing the waters of Stillwater Cove, it offers golf on four courses, the Tennis and Beach Club, equestrian and hiking trails as well as shops and fine restaurants.

In addition to the Lodge at Pebble Beach, see our other featured hotels in the Monterey area: The Inn at Spanish Bay, Casa Palmero, Quail Lodge Resort and La Playa Hotel & Cottages in Carmel.
