Mention Pebble Beach to any golf enthusiast and their thoughts will immediately drift to the resort’s eponymous golf links, not to mention the 36 additional holes that comprise Spyglass Hill and The Links at Spanish Bay. Some might even think of the historic Del Monte Golf Course. In addition to those heralded courses, the world-famous golf resort is also home to one of the world’s best (and often overshadowed) instructional institutions, the Pebble Beach Golf Academy & Practice Facility.
The 3,000-square-foot learning center is equipped with three separate teaching studios, while the practice facility is home to a 350-yard-long, double-ended natural grass driving range; an expansive short-game area comprising greenside and fairway bunkers, as well as numerous chipping areas; and a 4,500-square-foot practice putting green. Even with all of those features, the academy truly shines for its commitment to the latest instructional technology: a lineup of gear and teaching aids that includes a robotic swing trainer, FlightScope launch monitor, V1 Video Swing Analysis, and an Advanced Motion Measurement 3-D Swing Analysis system.
Resort guests who are looking to improve their game while still enjoying the experience of playing at Pebble Beach can schedule individual or group lessons that target specific aspects of play, such as golf fitness, putting, increased distance, better wedge play, and overall fundamentals, among others.
