Perhaps the most famous finishing hole in all of golf, set up for 3 shots on this hole and enjoy the walk. The best tee shot is to the left of the trees in the center of the fairway. Your short iron into the green must carry the frontal bunker, and finally, putts will break towards the sea.

A tee-shot on the left is preferred for a flag on the right, and the drive to the right not too close to the rough is desired for a flag located into rear or left. To far right, and you can be blocked out on your 2nd shot. The wind direction on this hole can make it very difficult to score well.

The most demanding hole on this course, members play this hole as a par 5. A slight dogleg with out of bounds left and trees on the right makes for a narrow tee shot. Once the players negotiated the tee shot, they're left with a long iron or wood into a green that's only 25 yards wide and heavily bunkered.

The 9th at Pebble Beach is perhaps the toughest hole on the course. Take aim at the left-center of the fairway, hit it long, and beware the bunker on the left. There's a deep bunker gulley left and short that will punish any kind of a limp or timid approach.

On this relatively short par 5, the tee-shot is crucial. Do not be greedy here as the drive along the left side will get you nothing but trouble. A long and accurate drive will give you a chance to reach this green in two shots. A layup shot to about 60 yards short of the green, will find a flat area to approach from.

A very challenging par 3. Most players will be using anywhere from a 3 iron to a 3 wood, depending on the wind conditions. The green is well guarded by a large bunker in front, and slopes severely from right to left. Most players favor the left side of the green when planning their approach.

This dogleg right par 4 begins with a drive through a shoot of trees, over water, and a waste area. The tee-shot should favor the right side to allow for a straighter approach shot. The fairway is split into two, and the green is pretty humpy.

The 9th hole is considered by many to be one of the finest par fives in the country. The most important shot here is your second. To the left a wandering fairway bunker and large oak trees crowd the small second shot landing area. The green is not very wide and it severely sloped from the front to the back right.

A long iron or 3 wood to carry the long bunker in the center of the fairway is your best bet on this short uphill par 4. Leave it below the hole here with your second shot and par is an excellent score at the 4th.

Off the tee from number 10, you want to aim between the twin bunkers in the foreground, though the fairway widens slightly on the left at the range of a good drive. Attack the hole and you will be rewarded. It's always a good idea to check where the flagstick is before you hit your tee shot.
