Pebble Beach Company: Partnering with Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, and Hanse Golf Course Design to re-design The Links at Spanish Bay. Opened in 1987 between the Inn at Spanish Bay and the Pacific Ocean, Spanish Bay offers a Scotland-inspired golf experience with ocean views on nearly every hole. "The Links at Spanish Bay possesses nearly every raw element you’d want in a golf course, from expansive ocean views to rolling, sandy terrain," Hanse said. "With these natural attributes already in place, our team will have a significant head start on delivering a final product that will be in the top echelon of ‘must play’ courses."
