Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to get a tee time at The Hay, especially if I'm not staying at Pebble Beach Resorts?

You'll find The Hay much more accessible than the championship courses at Pebble. While resort guests get priority, public tee times are often available, especially if you book a few weeks out. We recommend checking their website directly for the most up-to-date availability and booking options.

Is playing The Hay as expensive as Pebble Beach Golf Links, and is it worth the green fee?

Absolutely not- The Hay offers a fantastic, more budget-friendly Pebble Beach experience. The green fee is significantly lower, making it an excellent value for a Tiger Woods-designed course with stunning ocean views. It's a perfect way to soak in the atmosphere without breaking the bank.

Who is The Hay really designed for- is it just for kids or beginners, or will experienced golfers enjoy it too?

While it's incredibly welcoming for juniors and beginners, don't mistake The Hay for just a pitch-and-putt. Experienced golfers will love the challenge of its precise short game demands and the fun, relaxed atmosphere. It's a brilliant warm-up or a casual round with friends, offering unique views and a chance to dial in your wedges.

What makes The Hay unique compared to other short courses, and what's its standout feature?

The Hay truly shines with its replica of Pebble Beach's iconic 7th hole, offering that breathtaking cliffside view and a taste of the main course's magic. Beyond that, each hole is thoughtfully designed by Tiger Woods, providing varied challenges and stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean. It's a masterclass in short-game strategy.

What's the best time of day or year to play The Hay, and how long should I expect the round to take?

We always recommend playing The Hay in the late afternoon for those incredible sunset views over the Pacific- it's truly magical. The course is enjoyable year-round, but spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather. You can comfortably finish a round in about 60-90 minutes, making it a perfect addition to any Pebble Beach itinerary.
