A golfer’s paradise on the Monterey Peninsula, affluent Pebble Beach is home to what’s rightfully considered the best public golf course in the country. The Inn at Spanish Bay and The Lodge at Pebble Beach are beautiful resorts where locals dine and relax, and there’s easy access to Monterey and Carmel. All told, there are eight golf courses in the gated community of Pebble Beach, so the possibilities for birdies and bogeys here might seem endless—in a good way. Head down the breathtakingly scenic 17-Mile Drive to see beaches, forests, cliffs and, of course, golf courses.
