Pebble Beach Golf Links
Pebble Beach, CA
Oceanside masterpiece on the Monterey Peninsula. The stretch from holes 7 through 10 along Carmel Bay is among the most photographed in golf. The short 7th, downhill to a green perched on the Pacific, is the most recognised par-3 in the world.
Torrey Pines — South Course
La Jolla, CA
San Diego's legendary cliff-top municipal. Stays-played view of the Pacific from nearly every hole. Hosts the Genesis Invitational each January.
Cypress Point Club
Pebble Beach, CA
Often called the greatest course in the world by those lucky enough to play it. The par-3 16th, played from a clifftop over the Pacific to a green on a separate piece of rock, is the single most photographed hole in golf.
The Riviera Country Club
Pacific Palisades, CA
Host of the Genesis Invitational each February. Hogan's Alley — both the 6th hole with its bunker-in-the-green and the course's overall identity — belongs to the Hogan era of the late 1940s.
Pasatiempo Golf Club
Santa Cruz, CA
MacKenzie's own backyard course — he lived in a house on the 6th fairway. Considered the most accessible MacKenzie original in the United States. The back nine is widely held to be among his best work.
