History
Spyglass Hill was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., and opened 56 years ago on March 11, 1966, after six years of planning, design, and construction. Since 1967, it has been in the rotation of the multi-course AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a February tournament on the West Coast Swing of the PGA Tour.[6][7]
Originally called Pebble Beach Pines Golf Club, it was renamed to Spyglass Hill by Samuel F. B. Morse (1885–1969), the founder of Pebble Beach Company,[8] after the place in the 1883 novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894), who had spent time in the Monterey area in 1879.[9] All the holes at Spyglass Hill were named by Bob Hanna after characters and places from the novel.[10][11]
Its par-72 layout measures 6,960 yards (6,364 m) from the championship (blue) tees, with a course rating of 75.4 and a slope rating of 145.[1] The first five holes all have views of the Pacific Ocean, and the other thirteen wind through the Del Monte Forest.
The course record of 62 (–10) was set by Phil Mickelson in 2005 and equaled by Luke Donald the next year; both were carded on Thursday of the AT&T under calm conditions.[2][3]
The back tees at Spyglass Hill were called "Tiger tees" when it opened,[7] long before the birth of Tiger Woods.
Layout
The first hole is called Treasure Island, and is a downhill 595-yard (544 m) par 5, which doglegs almost 90 degrees to the left. One of the more renowned holes is the fourth, a 370-yard (338 m) par 4 named Blind Pew, which Robert Trent Jones called his favorite par 4. The green is the most photographed on the course, and is surrounded by ice plant. Other hole names include The Black Spot (3rd), Captain Flint (10th), and Long John Silver (14th).
