Best time of year for Pebble Beach?


Flyguppy

Recommended Posts

Can a local from the Monterey area give me some general ideas on when to plan a Pebble beach trip?

 

I'm wanting to take my Dad who retires this Spring.

 

I would prefer some gouge on when the 'off' times are. Maybe some local knowledge on when to come out and have a good chance at decent weather....but also avoid the crowds? (Trying to plan on NOT staying on property)

 

Thanks!!

Wet weather in terms of rain is certainly over by May. However, you get the marine layer hanging around through much of the year - particularly in the summer, and that can range from playing in fog, to fog so heavy that it seems like drizzle. On a positive note, you might get lucky and have perfect weather. Fortunately, you can easily drive to many great courses which are far enough off the coast to give you warm weather. If you do make the trip, do take the opportunity to play Spyglass which remains my favorite of the area's courses.

Spyglass is on the list for sure.

Any others you'd recommend?

Pasatiempo is one of my favorites and definitely worth a play. I'll agree that anytime between now and the end of October is excellent weather wise. Also, you usually will be fine after Mid May or so. That being said I really don't think there is a bad time of year to visit Pebble.

This^^^^, absolutely. Not to be Liberal Larry or anything like that, but I think global warming has really changed weather patterns everywhere. CO had no snow this winter for ex. Out here in CA, the rainy season that everyone talks about never really came at all. I played Pebble in March this year, it was 70*, sunny and 0 wind (couldn't have imagined a better day). At worst you will get some thick fog and temps in the 50/60's, which isn't ideal but definitely still golf weather.

Others in that area: I like Spanish Bay (on the ocean for so long) but many think it's a little too target golfish, Spy, Old Del Monte, Bayonet & Black Horse, Poppy Hills, Carmel Valley Ranch, Quail Lodge, Laguna Seca and Pacific Grove. All good tracks and it's Monterey, so they are all usually in great shape. Pasatiempo is awesome, but about an hour from Monterey. If you are up for driving a little bit, San Juan Oaks is a great track (freddy couples design) that's about 45 min from the Monterey area.

Go the PB site and get on their e-mail list. They have specials for all their courses in the winter and spring. During the specials you can make a tee time ahead without staying on the property. I went in April last year. They had aerated the greens a couple of weeks before but it wasn't an issue.
