Pebble Beach Golf Links Panoramic Picture

Panoramic photograph taken by renowned photographer James Blakeway.

Pebble Beach Golf Links officially opened on February 22, 1919 and early reviews were not exactly glowing. People complained of sheep hoof prints on the greens (the sheep were the club's first greenskeepers). The 18th hole was deemed uninspiring and a "woefully poor finishing hole." In the beginning the 18th was a par-4, 325-hole with the coastline to the left as it is today. Arthur Vincent, a rich amateur, offered a solution. He wanted to fill in the rocks just behind the 17th green, building a new tee box that would add 35 yards to the hole and create a tee shot that gave the golfer the option to cut over the curving cove shore-line. Now the hole was 360 yards but there was more room to improve it. In 1920 British golf architect William Fowler was hired to remodel the old Del Monte Course. Eventually, in 1921, Fowler moved the 18th green 170 yards up the coast to its current position, and created a par-5, 525 yards long. This made the California Golf Association happy and the State Amateur was scheduled for Pebble Beach in 1922.
