Pebble Beach Raises Green Fee For First Time Since '08

Mike Bailey of GolfAdvisor.com reports on the first increase at Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2008, just in time for its busiest season.

Starting this month, the rate to play the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links, host of five U.S. Opens and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, has been increased to $525. It's the first price increase in eight years (since April 2008 when it was set at $495) and it comes during the resort's two busiest months.

While the 5% increase isn't that much given the overall cost to play, it would suggest that times are more than decent at Pebble Beach.
