Pebble Beach Golf Links in California – site of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open this week – originally was designed by amateur architects Douglas Grant and Jack Neville and opened in 1919. The famed layout on cliffs above Stillwater Cove and the Pacific Ocean has seen many renovations over the decades, including work done by William Herbert Fowler, Alister MacKenzie, H. Chandler Egan, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and others.
Pebble Beach Golf Links – the namesake of Pebble Beach Resorts – ranks No. 10 on Golfweek’s Best list of classic courses in the U.S., the highest public-access course in that ranking. It’s also No. 1 in California on the list for best public-access courses in each state and No. 1 again on the list for top resort courses in the U.S.
Pebble Beach will be set up at 6,505 yards with a par of 72 for the Women’s Open, the first time the event has been played at the famed course on the Monterey Peninsula.
