Central Coast Golf

How does one combine romance and golf? The answer is simple — head to the Central Coast. There is nothing more romantic than a drive down Highway 1 from Carmel through Santa Barbara and nothing stirs the passion of a golfer faster than the mention of golf along Pebble Beach and the Central Coast.

Quick Tips to Playing Golf Along the Central Coast


  • Prime Time — Peak season is early spring through late fall, but golf is played here year round.
  • Weather Notes — While rain isn’t a factor — during the summer months be prepared for a range of conditions that consist of brisk and foggy mornings and warm afternoons.
  • Best Bets — If you are on a budget but want to experience golf along the Central Coast consider a winter trip. The weather is a little more unpredictable but with fewer crowds and lower lodging prices it can make your dream golf vacation fun and affordable.
