Harding Park Golf Course has a long history that dates back to 1925 when the course was laid out by William Watson and Sam Whiting. The names of Watson and Whiting are not naturally associated with the Golden Age of golf course architecture but their Lake course at the nearby Olympic Club is testament to their design ability. Set to the southwest of downtown San Francisco, adjacent to the State University, Harding Park is framed on three sides by Lake Merced and the course itself is routed on ideal sandy ground. Named after the keen golfer and US President, Warren G. Harding, the city-owned municipal course hosted a number of high profile tournaments before and after the Second World War and became a regular PGA Tour venue during the 1960s.

Spyglass Hill offers a unique blend of sand and trees, with the first five holes offering sweeping ocean views and the rest in the Del Monte Forest's natural beauty. Described as "Pine Valley-by-the-Sea meets Augusta National,"Spyglass Hill is a co-host of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and has hosted US Amateur Championships. It's a true championship-caliber course.

The Links at Spanish Bay offers stunning seaside views along 17-Mile Drive. The course winds through dunes and Monterey Pines, returning to the white sands of Spanish Bay Beach. A twilight round is serenaded by the Spanish Bay bagpiper, making it a memorable experience. It's consistently ranked among the best public courses and hosts the Pebble Beach Invitational.

The Sandpiper Golf Club is a public-access facility that sits on the coast near Santa Barbara, on what was once part of a crude oil production facility. After the black had been tapped out, the property was acquired and fitted with new equipment: a golf course from William F. Bell, the son of esteemed architect “Billy” Bell. Bold commenters might suggest that, if the cliffs along the Pacific had been just a bit higher, Sandpiper would rival the younger Bell’s work at Torrey Pines for the finest oceanfront course in his library. The club was intended for professional play right from the start, measuring more than 7,000 yards from the tips when it debuted during 1972. Three holes — Nos. 6, 13 and 14 — play parallel to the ocean, while nos. 5 and 11 make dramatic runs toward the coast, offering world-class reveals. For all that water, there is only one true water hazard: No. 18 is a rare par three closer, which features a pond carry on the way home.

Laid out on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, The pay and play facility at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles endured something of a troubled golfing gestation before it finally opened to the public in 2006. The course was originally developed for Ocean Trails Golf Club in the late 1990s but a landslide caused much of the 18th fairway to slip away from its cliff edge position towards the Pacific during construction. The resulting stabilisation work cost millions of dollars and ultimately forced the club into bankruptcy, allowing the Trump Organization to step in and rescue the project in 2002. Following further costly repairs, the 18-hole layout finally opened for play on 20 January 2006.

The North and South Courses were originally designed by William Bell Sr. and seen to completion by William Bell Jr. in 1957. In 2001, heralded golf course architect Rees Jones redesigned the South Course, bringing new life to the championship elements of an already challenging play. This course remains a sought after destination for golf enthusiasts around the globe.

In 2016, the North Course underwent a $12.6 million improvement and redesign by noted golf course architect Tom Weiskopf. Featuring fewer bunkers and larger greens than before, the North Course has also switched the front nine holes with the back nine, making the famous ocean views prominent to golfers as they finish their rounds.
