All golf courses in Monterey County ordered to close, Pebble Beach shuts down for first time since opening

Monterey County Health Department officials have ordered the closure of all public and private golf courses.

Workers that are necessary to maintain the course are considered essential and continue to work, as long as social distancing is in place.

Pebble Beach Golf Links has closed for the first time since opening in 1919. This happened before the order from the Department was sent.

Officials say, "The health and well-being of our guests, employees and their families is of paramount importance.  In light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, Pebble Beach Resorts has temporarily suspended our Resort operations, which includes all hotels, golf courses (including Del Monte Golf Course), our restaurants, retail shops, and health and tennis clubs.   For more than one hundred years, we have welcomed guests from near and far to enjoy legendary golf and world-class accommodations along a backdrop of stunning natural beauty.  Once the world is ready to travel again, we look forward to welcoming you to Pebble Beach.  We are continuing to take reservations for arrivals after April 17th."

In order to provide essential services to Pebble Beach residents, the Gallery restaurant and Pebble Beach Market will both be open for take-out meals only.
