Our take

Pebble Beach earns its reputation the moment the round turns for the coast, and the small greens make sure the score matters as much as the view.

How it plays

What you are actually facing

18holes
72par
7yards
155mof climb
2water hazards

The walk. Moderate. 155 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually north-westerly, averaging 11 km/h, gusting to 37. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 2 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Jack Neville and Douglas Grant.

The holes that will cost you. The 14th, the 18th and the 2nd. The 14th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in California. The questions our golfers ask most.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is hand-built. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.

How much does a golf holiday cost?

It depends on the destination, hotel, dates and how many rounds you want, so every quote is built individually. Many breaks start in the mid-hundreds per person; winter-sun and long-haul trips cost more. Get a free, no-obligation quote and we'll confirm your figure.

Are your golf holidays ATOL protected?

Our packages are arranged on a ground-only basis — hotel, golf and transfers. When you book flights through us, those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking. Ground-only arrangements are not flight-inclusive, so are not sold under an ATOL.

When is the best time to go on a golf holiday?

It depends where you play: the Canaries, Mauritius and South Africa are winter-sun favourites, while Spain, Portugal and Turkey shine in spring and autumn. Tell us roughly when you want to travel and we'll match you to the destinations in best condition.

How do I get a tailored quote?

Use our enquiry form to send your group size, rough dates and any destinations or courses you have in mind. We'll reply with a free, no-obligation quote built around your trip. No call centre, no pressure — just a personal plan from our golf travel team.
