🏌️ Signature Hole
Hole 7 — a par-3 of just 106 yards that plays over a cliff edge to a postage-stamp green surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. Wind makes club selection anywhere from a wedge to a mid-iron. Three putts feel inevitable; one putts feel miraculous.
⚠️ Key Challenge
Wind management, accurate iron play to small greens, conservative play on oceanside holes (18 is iconic but brutally penalizing), and keeping the ball in play on the cliffside holes (4-10).
🎯 Strategy Tip
At Pebble Beach, your iron game is everything. The greens are small, the wind is unpredictable, and missing the wrong side means a bogey at best. Prioritize accuracy over distance on approach shots — aim for the fat part of greens and give yourself easy uphill putts.
