Spyglass Hill Golf Course

Among the celebrated courses of Pebble Beach Resorts, Spyglass Hill holds a reputation for beauty matched only by its severity. Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s design moves through the Del Monte Forest with a routing of extraordinary variety — early holes descend toward the Pacific with ocean views of rare drama, before the course retreats into dense woodland where narrow fairways, deep rough, and subtly demanding greens impose themselves on even the most accomplished players. Consistently ranked among the finest and most challenging courses in America, Spyglass Hill is not a layout that yields readily to any visitor. That resistance, set against scenery of such natural magnificence on California's Monterey Peninsula, is precisely what makes it essential.
