Peter Hay Par 3 Course
Pebble Beach, CA, USA

Peter Hay Par 3, overlooking the iconic 17 Mile Drive, isn't merely a practice facility; it's a living testament to the democratic spirit of golf, designed to be accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels. Originally a more traditional 9-hole layout, the course was reimagined in 2021 by Tiger Woods' TGR Design to honor the legacy of Peter Hay, a longtime head professional at Pebble Beach and a champion of junior golf. The re-design reflects a modern approach to the par-3 concept, incorporating strategic bunkering and undulating greens that echo the challenges of its famed neighbors. One hole is a replica of the 7th at Pebble Beach. It's not designed to be overtly punishing, but rewards thoughtful play and precise shot-making, encouraging beginners while still offering seasoned golfers a chance to hone their short game. More than just a course, Peter Hay Par 3 stands as a vibrant community hub. It hosts numerous junior programs and events, embodying Hay's commitment to growing the game. It's a place where families can play together, newcomers can find their footing, and experienced golfers can rediscover the simple joy of a well-struck iron. This course, with its views of the Pacific, is a reminder that golf, at its heart, is meant to be shared.

$75 is a rip but it is fun
Fun little par 3 with immaculate ocean views. $75 is a bit steep but you can’t breathe air in this area for $75 so it is what it is. Fun 9 hole putting setup right beside the course. Only need a wedge and a putter. Greens are slow and you have to hit off of mats but just enjoy the ocean views. Elite if you have a lady friend or kids.

The journey to Pebble Beach Resorts most often begins at either San Francisco International or San Jose International, each roughly two hours north by car, though Monterey Regional Airport offers a swifter option for those arriving on smaller craft - just fifteen minutes from the gates. Private aviation finds its natural home at Monterey Peninsula Airport, where discreet fixed-base operators cater to those seeking a quieter arrival. The drive itself unfolds as pure California theater: Highway 1 traces the dramatic arc of Monterey Bay before slipping into Carmel-by-the-Sea, then finally through the guarded entrance onto 17-Mile Drive, where windswept Monterey cypress and glimpses of sapphire Pacific announce your arrival at one of golf's most storied coastal sanctuaries.
