At Pebble Beach Golf Links, the famous cliff-side par-3 is the 7th hole.
The hole plays along the Pacific coastline in Pebble Beach, California, with the green dramatically surrounded by ocean views and rocky shoreline. Although it is short by modern golf-course standards, changing coastal winds make club selection difficult and can turn a seemingly simple tee shot into a demanding test.
Pebble Beach Golf Links opened in 1919 and is widely regarded as one of the world's most scenic public courses. Its seaside holes are central to the course's identity, but the 7th is especially recognizable because golfers hit directly toward a small target framed by the Pacific. The hole is commonly confused with Pebble Beach's other celebrated coastal holes, particularly the par-3 17th, which is also famous and has featured prominently in U.S. Open history.
The course has hosted multiple U.S. Opens, beginning in 1972, and its spectacular coastal setting has made the 7th hole one of golf's most photographed short holes.
