The Monterey Peninsula on the central coast of California has been called “the most beautiful meeting of land and water”, with visitors flocking here every year to take in the sights while enjoying a few rounds. With a temperate climate, minimal rainfall, and lush green courses, including five listed in the World Top 100, teeing off in Monterey is a golfer’s paradise.
Our Monterey golf tours will show you the very best this area has to offer. For those keen to experience iconic and picturesque courses, Pebble Beach should be on your list. As one of the best courses in the country, Pebble Beach Golf Links is equally fun and forgiving from the tee. While playing golf in Monterey might be your main event, you shouldn’t pass up the local attractions like Monterey Aquarium, Carmel Valley wine tasting, and the scenic drive to Big Sur.
There are over 15 famous golf courses in the area with no less than five being considered World Top 100. To access Pebble Beach Golf Links®, one must stay at The Lodge at Pebble Beach®, The Inn at Spanish Bay® or Casa Palmero® for a minimum of three nights during high season.
However, there are many other courses available to play while based on Carmel or Monterey, Pasatiempo, Poppy Hills, Pacific Grove Muni, Old Del Monte, Bayonet, and Black Horse are some of the most popular courses outside of Pebble Beach.
Check into your Carmel or Monterey hotel, explore the town and perhaps choose from one of our restaurant recommendations.
Golf at Bayonet or Black Horse GC and afternoon visit to Cannery Row or Fisherman’s Wharf. Suggest dinner on Cannery Row at the famous Sardine Factory.
Golf at the world famous Pasatiempo GC in Santa Cruz, designed by the great Dr Alister MacKenzie, and afternoon experience the beach scene in Santa Cruz or Capitola. Montrio Restaurant in Old Monterey is a great choice for dinner.
Free day for optional golf (consider playing the popular Pacific Grove Muni or ask about a private club option) or wine tasting in Carmel Valley’s over 20 wineries including Bernardus, Joullian, Georis or Heller Estate (booking a wine tour or hiring a private driver may be recommended) and dinner perhaps at Cafe Rustica, Lucia or The Corkscrew Cafe.
Golf at Poppy Hills GC in Pebble Beach and afternoon drive the famed 17 Mile Drive and visit the Lodge and Shops at Pebble Beach®. Tonight enjoy one of the popular Carmel restaurants such as Grasings, Anton & Michel, Cantinetta Luca or La Bicyclette.

Free day for optional golf (consider playing in sunny Carmel Valley at Quail Lodge or Carmel Valley Ranch) or a day free to visit The Monterey Aquarium (allow at least 2 hours for the many exhibits) and walk the charming shopping streets of Carmel-By-The-Sea.

“Whereas the golf is plentiful around The Monterey Peninsula, allow yourself enough time après golf to walk around Carmel and Carmel Beach (½ day) and drive south on Highway 1 towards Big Sur (min 2 hours).
You’ll want your camera because this is some of the most beautiful scenery in the United States.”
Bill Hogan, Business Development Manager, Premier Golf, is from Carmel and is a GOLF Magazine World and USA Top 100 Panelist.
