My cousin and I are travelling to Pebble Beach next July 24 - 29, 2013. You have to book this far in advance to secure reasonable tee off times. If anyone is interested in joining us you would be welcome. Now the negatives.

To secure a tee off time you have to stay at one of the 3 resorts for a minimum of 2 nights (Pebble Beach Lodge, The Inn at Spanish Bay or Casa Palmero). The cheapest room is $615/ night at the Inn at Spanish Bay (this does not include green fees). Green fees for Pebble Beach are $495, Spyglass Hill $360 and the Links at Spanish Bay $250.

On top of this is your airfare, you can fly to San Franciso or San Jose and rent a car or fly right into Monterey Peninsula Airport.

We are treating this as a once in a lifetime trip and if by chance there is someone as crazy as we are that wants to go, let me know.
