Monterey, California, is home to some of the best golf courses in the United States. Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the host of numerous United States Open Championships and it is well worth the costly green fees. Visitors can also play Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course, which is over 7,000 yards long and in beautiful condition. Monterey is a popular tourist destination, so there are a number of hotels to suit travelers' needs.
