How to get a tee time at Pebble Beach Golf Links
Pebble Beach Golf Links is a public course, but getting on it comes down to one choice: stay at the resort and book far ahead, or try your luck the day before. Here’s how each path works, using the resort’s own published rules.

Two ways to get a Pebble Beach tee time
Pebble Beach Resorts says the course is open to the public. What changes is how far ahead you can lock in a time.
Stay at the resort and book with your room
Guests of The Lodge at Pebble Beach and The Inn at Spanish Bay can book rooms up to 18 months in advance; Casa Palmero up to 12 months. The resort encourages hotel guests to request tee times when they book the room.
A minimum stay is required to play Pebble Beach Golf Links. The resort’s availability calendar currently says a 2-night minimum secures a round, and marks some dates with a 3-night minimum. Up to 2 players can be booked per room, based on occupancy.
Weekend stays also carry a minimum. Ask about it when you book.
- Up to 18 months out
- Minimum stay
- 2 golfers per room
Book 1 day ahead as a non-resort guest
Non-resort guests can book Pebble Beach Golf Links only 1 day (24 hours) in advance, subject to availability. A credit card is required to guarantee the time.
This works best if you already live here or are in town with a flexible schedule. If you’re flying in just to play, the resort path is the safer bet.
- 24 hours ahead
- Card to guarantee
- Flexibility helps

Why golfers end up buying here
For a lot of my buyers, the tee time is the first trip and the house comes later. Living on the Peninsula turns the 24-hour window from a gamble into a standing option: when you’re 10 minutes away, you can check for a time the day before without planning a whole trip around it.
If you’re weighing a home near the links, I can walk you through the Pebble Beach neighborhoods and what’s selling now.
