Jack Nicklaus has said that if he had only one more round of golf left to play, he would do it at Pebble Beach Golf Links, such is his love of the course. This location is one of the few in America with three five-star courses -- one of the only catches is that you must be a guest at one of the Pebble Beach Resorts to play at many of them. At least you won’t be stuck for choice in the accommodation arena! Pebble Beach is mostly known as a golf mecca, but there are plenty of things to do after you've had your fill of chasing a ball around a paddock! We check out the best courses and after golf activities in Pebble Beach for golf vacations.
Day 1: Pasatiempo Golf Course
You are probably itching to get to Pebble Beach Golf Links, Nicklaus's absolute favorite course … but hang onto your hats! Let yourself warm up at Pasatiempo, a four star rated course with a 136 slope. There are certain tee times for public play -- Tiger Woods, Bobby Jones and Ken Venturi have all been known to play here.
Afternoon 1: Monterey Bay Aquarium
Seahorses, jellyfish, ebra sharks and even acorn barnacles can be found here -- get out of the heat and the wind, and enjoy the coolness of undersea life.
Day 2: Spyglass Hill golf course
This Robert Trent Jones Sr golf course is a five star course with a slope of 148. It incorporates two distinctly different sorts of terrain -- a good way to get extra value out of your golf vacation, feeling that you’re playing on two different courses! Strategy is the name of the game here.
Afternoon 2: Big Sur Tours
Travel the local California coast in a luxury car, taking advantage of your host's local knowledge. You get to personalize your own tour, but have all the benefits of a guide.
Day 3: Pebble Beach Golf Links
If you've managed to contain your excitement and save the best for last, you'll be left with a lasting positive impression of Pebble Beach golf holidays from this course. This course regularly plays host to the world's biggest golf events, and is known for both its beauty and challenge. It opened in 1919.
Afternoon 3: Hearst Castle
From the world's best golf course to the world's most expensive house -- marvel at the excesses of William Randolph Hearst in person, touring what was once his castle. And then try to go back to your five star resort without resentment!

Planning any holiday is really very important.
I have recently started practicing golf with River club. I am located in Cape Town and it is a very nice place for Golf vacations. If you come here do visit them once, you will find a flood light 90 bay drive range as well as the golf course itself.
