The plan for No. 10
The 10th hole at Pebble Beach is part of the legendary "Cliffs of Doom" stretch that Golf Magazine famously declared would be "the most famous finish in golf" if holes 8, 9, and 10 were the closing holes. This demanding par-4 continues the clifftop drama that has made this sequence one of golf's most feared and revered challenges.
Off the tee
Your tee shot strategy should prioritize finding the optimal position for your approach rather than maximum distance. A well-struck driver or 3-wood down the center of the fairway sets up the ideal angle, but club selection depends heavily on wind conditions and pin position. The target line should favor the center-right portion of the fairway, giving you the best sight lines to the green. Avoid the temptation to overpower this hole - course management and precision trump raw distance here.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot is where this hole reveals its true character. With a small green as your target, club selection becomes critical. Depending on conditions and your tee shot position, you'll likely face a mid-iron to long-iron into the green. The key is committing fully to your club choice and swinging with confidence. Take one extra club if you're between selections - being long is typically more manageable than coming up short on this demanding green. Pay close attention to pin position, as the compact putting surface offers limited margin for error.
On the green
Pebble Beach's 10th green demands respect and precise putting. The small surface means lag putting becomes essential - getting your first putt close is more important than being aggressive toward difficult pin positions. Read the green carefully, as subtle breaks can be deceiving. Focus on speed control above all else, as three-putts can quickly derail your round on this unforgiving surface.
