Inscription.
No public course in the United States can match the Major championship pedigree of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Built by amateur golfers Jack Neville and Douglas Grant in 1919, Pebble Beach hosted its sixth U.S. Open in 2019, to go along with five U.S. Amateurs, two U.S. Women's Amateurs, and the 1977 PGA Championship. Pebble Beach Golf Links has also been selected to host the 2023 U.S. Women's Open and 2027 U.S. Open. With nine holes hugging the Pacific Ocean, including two of the most famous finishing holes in golf, it is no wonder that Pebble Beach is ranked as the No. 1 public course in America.
