About this course
Cypress Point Club isn't just a golf course; it's an experience etched into the rugged coastline of Pebble Beach, California. Its routing is legendary, particularly the dramatic par-3s that cling to the Pacific's edge. This is where the game demands bravery and imagination, not just mechanical precision. Born from the Golden Age vision of Alister MacKenzie, with later refinements by Robert Hunter, Cypress Point's design showcases an exceptional interplay between the natural terrain and strategic course design. The links-style fairways weave through coastal dunes and dense cypress groves, demanding inventive shot-making and a deep respect for the elements. The course has never sought publicity, rather it lets the course speak for itself. The membership roster reads like a who's who of industry titans and those discreetly connected. The clubโs mystique is further enhanced by its air of exclusivity and understated elegance. Stories abound of impromptu matches between influential figures and hushed boardroom deals concluded on the back nine. A round at Cypress Point is more than a game; it's an entry into a world where the love of golf intertwines with a deep appreciation for the finer things in life.

Getting there
The pilgrimage to Cypress Point Club begins at either Monterey Regional Airport, a compact gateway just twenty minutes north, or San Francisco International for those connecting from afar - a two-hour drive south down the dramatic California coast. Private arrivals favor Monterey Peninsula Airport's discreet general aviation facilities, offering the quietest possible entry into this rarefied world. The final miles trace the legendary 17-Mile Drive through Del Monte Forest, where glimpses of windswept Monterey cypress and crashing Pacific surf build anticipation before the understated gates of Cypress Point appear, guarding one of golf's most jealously protected sanctuaries.
