This is one of the most famous public courses in the world. Established in 1919, it was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant. This emblematic field (par 72, 7,075 yards) has hosted the US Open a total of six times and only one PGA Championship (in 1977). It currently hosts the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am of the PGA Tour and the PURE Insurance Championship, part of the Champions Tour. 

 

The resort guest green fee is $ 575, the non-resort guest is $ 575 + $ 45 of the cart fee. In addition, the caddy fee is $ 95 per bag, and the single caddy is $ 145. Keep in mind that a forecaddie of $ 47.50 must be paid for every three players, at least.

This is one of America’s best-kept secrets, designed in the desert by famed architect Tom Fazio. Every hole on this course (par 72, 7,560 yards) is a work of art, breathtaking from start to finish. As Fazio once described: “Every hole at Shadow Creek has characteristics that make a score of par an achievement. 

For instance, on the short and majestic 17th hole, the green has three times the width than the depth, so yardage control becomes paramount. Like the 12th at Augusta, any tee shot allowing the use of a putter for a second shot is an accomplishment.” Take note: the fee for non-members for a round of golf at Shadow Creek is $ 600 per golfer (Mondays through Thursdays) and $ 750 per golfer (Fridays through Sundays), but you must have an invitation from a member.
