Cypress Point Club

Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach is Alister MacKenzie's private masterpiece on the Monterey Peninsula. The front nine works through cypress forest and dunes; the back nine turns to the Pacific, including the famous par-3 sixteenth over the ocean.

Perched in Pebble Beach, California, Cypress Point Club is a golfing sanctuary at the northern end of the Central Coast. Its exquisite 18-hole course, celebrated among the finest in golf, weaves through coastal dunes, offering dramatic holes along the Pacific Ocean. The course's front nine gracefully meander into the Del Monte forest, while the back nine unfold dramatically along the rugged coastline. The iconic 16th hole, requiring a 230-yard tee shot over the Pacific, stands as a testament to the course's allure, guarded by strategically placed bunkers. Globally acclaimed, Cypress Point Club holds the #2 spot on Golf Magazine's 2011 List of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World and #5 on Golf Digest's 2011–12 list of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses. Beyond accolades, it boasts exclusivity, demanding an invitation for non-members to tread its hallowed fairways. Once part of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Cypress Point Club, despite being dropped in 1990, remains a golfing mecca. Evolving with the times, the club's embrace of diversity, including members like Condoleezza Rice, adds to its enduring legacy. Today, it stands as an alluring destination where coastal elegance meets the prestige of golfing excellence.
