Pebble Beach Golf Course and resort.

Heading for Pebble Beach we took the "17 Mile Drive" along the beach front and through some of the best real estate in the States, but to do so you have to pay an entry fee and the route is very well policed. Properties all have to be different and building control regulations are very stringent - there is a surprise round every bend and some spectacular views. The Lone Cyprus Tree is the trade mark of the area, Carmel and Monterey, and protected by license.
Into Pebble Beach to the fantastic golf course and beach resort and hotel - absolutely immaculate, what a fantastic place inside and out. I photographed the 1st Tee and the 18th Green. This is a public golf course with open access, however the fees are around $550 plus per person per round !!! which will obviously cut down a bit on the crowds.

We then headed out, stopped briefly in the local shopping centre - classy, before we headed back to Monterey and our bed for the night.
