The Monterey Peninsula is one of the most celebrated golf destinations on earth, home to Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill, Cypress Point, and Poppy Hills—a concentration of iconic courses unmatched in California. The area hosts the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am each February, drawing Tour professionals and celebrities alongside the area's year-round golf community. Monterey instructors understand the nuances of links-influenced coastal golf—managing ocean winds that can shift direction mid-round, playing on firm Poa annua greens, and developing the shot-shaping skills that Pebble Beach's famous oceanside holes demand. The season runs year-round with mild temperatures, though morning fog is common. Instruction here tends toward the premium end given the area's prestige, but the caliber of teaching talent matches the world-class surroundings.
