Pebble Beach, California · 18 holes · par 72 · Private. Opened 1960.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

  • At about 50 ft the ball carries about 0% farther than at sea level, so a 150-yard shot plays like about 150. Golfers visiting from low elevation should expect to club down.
  • Biggest climb: hole 18, where the green sits 48 ft above the tee and plays about 16 yards longer.
  • Biggest drop: hole 1, where the green sits 81 ft below the tee and plays about 27 yards shorter.
  • 9 greens tilt 2% or more. Each hole below says which side of the hole leaves an uphill putt.

Maps: tee at the bottom, green at the top. The dashed line is the mapped hole; the gold band is the lay-up zone; the arrow on the green points downhill.

Playing notes

  • Plays about 27 yards shorter: the green sits 81 ft below the tee.
  • Hazards on both sides of the fairway from 186 yards; a tee shot that finishes short of 186 keeps them out of play.
  • The fairway is about 46 yards wide at 228 and narrows to 32 at 268.
  • Best lay-up: 70 to 170 yards from the green, where the fairway is about 30 yards wide with no bunkers or water within 16 yards.
  • Hazards guard both sides of the green; aim for the middle.
  • Bunkers short of the green; take enough club to carry it.
  • The green falls from front-right to back-left, about 1.5%. Finish on the back-left side of the hole for an uphill putt.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft.
