Spyglass Hill Tee Times and Booking
Spyglass Hill is a Robert Trent Jones Sr design on the Monterey Peninsula, a Pebble Beach Resorts course many good players rate the hardest of the lot. The way in is the resort: guests book far ahead, non-guests scramble close to the date. Here is exactly how to book, what it costs in 2026, and how to pair it with Pebble Beach.

The short answer
Spyglass Hill is booked through Pebble Beach Resorts, and where you stay decides how easily you get on. Guests at a Pebble Beach Resorts property can reserve tee times well in advance, commonly from 12 to 18 months ahead depending on the accommodation, which is how golfers lock a planned itinerary. Non-resort golfers can play too, but generally only by booking close to the date, often around 24 hours ahead and subject to availability, with an added cart fee. There is no ballot, so what you hold is a confirmed reservation.
The practical takeaway is simple: if playing Spyglass Hill on a fixed date matters, stay at the resort and book a golf package. Spyglass is a touch easier to secure than Pebble Beach Golf Links, but both strongly favor resort guests in season. The course is a par 72 of around 6,960 yards that opens through the dunes before turning inland through the Del Monte forest, and it bites. Everything below was checked in June 2026 against Pebble Beach Resorts information and is indicative, so always confirm the current booking rules and fees directly before travelling.

Booking your round, step by step
Decide first whether you are staying at a Pebble Beach Resorts property, because that single choice changes everything. If you are, book your accommodation and your golf together through resort reservations as early as you can, since the long advance window is the whole advantage and lets you build a multi course itinerary with Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill in a fixed order. If you are not staying at the resort, plan to call golf reservations close to your dates and be flexible, as non-guest times are released near the day and disappear fast in season.
Confirm whether you want a caddie or a forecaddie when you book, because a local looper is worth it on a course where the opening dunes holes and the forest finish both demand precise lines. Read the deposit and cancellation terms, which are firm at a resort of this stature, and keep your confirmation to hand. The famous detail for visiting families: junior golfers can play Spyglass Hill for a token fee through the Youth on Course program, a rare bargain at a course of this price.
