Pebble Beach Co. sets timeline Links at Spanish Bay renovation
Pebble Beach Co. has unveiled the timeline for its renovation of The Links at Spanish Bay. The golf course will close on March 18, 2026, and reopen in the Spring of 2027, a few months before the U.S. Open will be contested at Pebble Beach Golf Links for the seventh time.
During the closure, Gil Hanse, Jim Wagner and Hanse Golf Course Design (HGCD) will lead the construction process with the goal to elevate the 40-year-old course to the pedigree of the other championship courses in the Del Monte Forest. Hanse’s guiding tenets will be to transform Spanish Bay from a 1980s-era Scottish-inspired link to a modern California Coastal course while remaining within the existing development footprint. The renovation will also further enhance the golf course’s environmental standing and upgrade its infrastructure.
“Working with Pebble Beach Company in a world-class setting like this is a can’t miss opportunity for our team,” said Hanse, president and lead designer of HGCD. “Golf on the Monterey Peninsula is an unrivaled experience, and we are thrilled at the opportunity to put our stamp on one of the most spectacular backdrops in the world.”
With a portfolio that includes highly-acclaimed courses at Ladera and Lake Merced — which won awards in 2023 for Best New Private and Best Transformation, respectively — in addition to Los Angeles CC (North), Ohoopee Match Club, PGA Frisco (East) and many others, HGCD brings a proven track record.
“The focus of this project is to further enhance the golf experience at Pebble Beach Resorts,” added David Stivers, CEO of Pebble Beach Co. “Partnering with Gil, Jim, and their team gives us the utmost confidence that Spanish Bay will be a ‘must play’ on par with its fellow courses.”
Also included in the project scope is a reconstruction of the Spanish Bay boardwalk, which had been damaged in recent storms. The boardwalk provides public coastal access and majestic views between the golf course and the beach. That project will begin in the Spring of 2025.
