If the weather is real benign, then Pebble isn't all that tough from the tee as the fairways are pretty generous. Good iron shots are still needed into the greens as the greens are quite small and well guarded. A fair but not overly hard test of golf. But when the wind blows Pebble becomes a very different animal altogether.

The 14th annually ranks as one of the toughest par-5s on the PGA TOUR. It was the third-hardest hole in the 2010 U.S. Open, playing to a 5.44 scoring average. That's the highest scoring average on a par-5 on the entire PGA TOUR since 2000. Pebble Beach's 543-yard final hole is one of the most famous in golf.Jun 10, 2019

How long does a round take at Pebble Beach? - Quora

Answer (1 of 3): Based on my experience, I think you'll finish. But it also depends on the weather. ie. If it's super foggy, it might cut the day a bit shorter. The other factor is if course the skill level of the people you're playing with. :) A very slow 4-some probably wouldn't finish in time.

In Golf Digest Open Challenge at Pebble Beach, the best score is Mark Walbergh (98)... I wonder if I got the spot, can I score under 100 too?

ET-Taylor

Really? Ok it wouldn't be easy but surely you wouldn't shoot +28. Thats bogeying every second hole, and doubling the others. and you'd probably have a few pars in there so i reckon you would break 100. You could play every par 4 as a 3 shotter and probably still break 100

CrazyXGolfer

Ive also herd the greens are never really that good there. When I say that, I mean it in the nice'st way. They are still great compard to probs what most people would play on, but not special greens.

The answer to "Is PB a hard course?" is......it depends. PB's toughness is largely tied to two things: the weather and if they're growing US Open rough.
