Where to stay?

Pebble Beach resort itself has very limited availablilty during the event, so you'll most likely have to find a hotel outside the Pebble Beach complex. There will be no parking at Pebble itself beginning Wednesday -- all ticket holders will have to go to Fort Ord (Cal State Univ., Monterey Bay), off Highway 1, and take a free shuttle to the course. So in choosing a hotel, pick a location convenient to Ford Ord. Check online for hotels in Monterey, Carmel or Seaside (all within 10 minutes from Fort Ord), or Santa Cruz (30-40 minutes from Fort Ord).

Santa Cruz () offers lodging options to satisfy every style, taste, and palate. From remote inns in the woods with warm, homemade muffins at breakfast to luxurious resort facilities where you can relax and enjoy full-body pampering after your round of golf.
