Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pebble Beach, California

Pebble Beach Resorts, which includes The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay and Casa Palmero, has again been named “Best Golf Resort in North America” by Golf Digest magazine.

The ranking appears in the magazine’s biannual feature, “The 75 Best Golf Resorts in North America,” published in the October 2009 issue.

This is the third time in the past four rankings Pebble Beach has received top honors in what is considered one of the most prestigious and definitive rankings in golf.

The ratings are based on the scores of Golf Digest’s 900+plus course ranking panelists who traveled unannounced to hundreds of U.S., Canadian, Mexican and Caribbean golf resorts. The reviewers cited the resort’s upcoming fifth hosting of the U.S. Open Championship in June 2010, as well as the work done on Pebble Beach Golf Links, under the direction of Arnold Palmer, to strengthen and lengthen the legendary course to 7,014 yards.

In addition to its resorts, Pebble Beach Company also operates Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, The Links at Spanish Bay and Del Monte Golf Course.

Its other properties include the scenic 17-Mile Drive and The Spa at Pebble Beach, and it annually hosts premier events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational and the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.
