Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course in Pebble Beach, California – one of three layouts used in this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour – opened in 1959 but was extensively renovated by architect Mike Strantz beginning in 2003.
Taking advantage of the unique coastal setting, Strantz designed 12 new holes and remodeled the others that originally were laid out by Bob Baldock and Jack Neville. The result of Strantz’s work has elevated the private club to a tie for No. 27 on Golfweek’s Best list of top modern courses built in or after 1960 in the United States. It also ranks No. 8 in California on Golfweek’s Best list of private courses.
The first three rounds of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am – Thursday through Saturday – also will be played on nearby Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach Golf Links. Sunday’s final round after the cut will be played only on Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The Shore Course will play to 6,957 yards with a par of 71 in the PGA Tour event.
