Probably the best golfing experience anyone could ask for. Playing Cypress Point was absolutely unforgettable, a true bucket-list experience. The course is perfectly divided into three sets of six holes, each offering a completely different feel and challenge.

Tucked away on a 20,000 acre preserve, this Fazio is actually quite good. Green complexes are challenging but fair. Total package is awesome but likely gets a little overshadowed by nearby legends.

Stunning views, top-notch history and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With that said, the course needs renovated. Green complexes need rejuvenated and serious love. I know they are slowly redoing greens, but they need a full scale effort.

If this local “muni” were anywhere else in the world, it would be talked about all the time. The problem is it’s surrounded by some of the best, well known courses in the world so it’s an afterthought for most. This is a really enjoyable course to play.

The contour and structure of the greens make you have to think on every shot. You have some incredible holes on the ocean, like the par 3 13th, but the inland holes, like the short 6th hole are great too.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Pebble Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
