How do I get to the 2027 U.S. Open?

The 2027 U.S. Open will be held at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California. Given its iconic location on the Monterey Peninsula, planning your travel in advance is crucial, as the region can be very busy, especially during major events.

1. By Air:

  • Closest Regional Airport:
    • Monterey Regional Airport (MRY): Located just 10-15 minutes drive from Pebble Beach, MRY offers direct flights from major hubs like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Dallas. This is the most convenient option if direct flights are available from your origin.
  • Larger International Airports:
    • San Jose International Airport (SJC): Approx. 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes drive north of Pebble Beach. SJC is a larger airport with more flight options.
    • San Francisco International Airport (SFO): Approx. 2 to 2.5 hours drive north of Pebble Beach. SFO is a major international hub with the widest range of flights.
  • From SJC or SFO, you’ll need to arrange ground transportation (rental car, shuttle services, or rideshare) to Pebble Beach.

2. By Car & Parking:

  • Driving Directions: Use GPS with the correct address for Pebble Beach Golf Links. The primary route to the Monterey Peninsula is typically via Highway 1 or Highway 101 in California.
  • Event Parking: For major events like the U.S. Open, it’s highly unlikely that general public parking will be available directly at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The USGA typically organizes official off-site parking lots with complimentary shuttle services to the course. These shuttles are often the most efficient way to access the event.
    • Recommendation: Always check the official U.S. Open website closer to the event date for specific parking locations, shuttle schedules, and any necessary parking pass purchase information. Pre-booking any required parking passes is usually essential.

3. Rideshare & Taxis:

  • Services like Uber and Lyft operate throughout the Monterey Peninsula. However, during a major event, surge pricing can be significant, and designated pick-up/drop-off zones might be located a distance from the main entrance to manage traffic. Taxis are also available from airports and local towns.

Important Planning Notes:

  • Book Early: Accommodation and transportation to the Monterey Peninsula are in high demand and can be very expensive, especially during peak season and major events. Book flights, rental cars, and any other transport well in advance.
  • USGA Event Shuttles: Pay close attention to announcements from the USGA regarding official event shuttles from various points (e.g., official parking lots, key towns). These are often the most convenient way to get directly to the course on event days.
  • Traffic: Expect significant traffic congestion on roads leading to and around the Monterey Peninsula, particularly on event days. Plan for extra travel time.

How do I get tickets to the 2027 U.S. Open?

Securing tickets for the U.S. Open, especially for an iconic venue like Pebble Beach, requires planning well in advance due to high demand. The United States Golf Association (USGA) is the official host and primary source for tickets.

1. Official Ticketing Channels:

  • The Official U.S. Open Website: All legitimate tickets for the U.S. Open are sold directly through the official U.S. Open website or the USGA’s official ticketing partner, USGA Experiences. Always purchase directly from these official channels to ensure authenticity and avoid fraudulent tickets or inflated prices.
  • USGA Experiences: This is the USGA’s premium experience provider, offering various ticket packages that may include event access, exclusive hospitality venues, all-inclusive food & beverage, and other amenities. You can often sign up for a waitlist for future U.S. Opens through their site.

2. When Do Tickets Go On Sale?

  • The USGA typically releases U.S. Open tickets through a multi-phase process, often starting with a random drawing (lottery) for the general public, sometimes more than a year in advance of the championship.
  • Key Sale Periods:
    • Early Access/Waitlist: Many fans sign up for USGA newsletters or waitlists through the official U.S. Open and USGA Experiences websites to receive notifications about ticket releases.
    • Random Drawing/Lottery: This is often the first opportunity for the general public to secure tickets for championship days. Participants are selected randomly to purchase a limited number of tickets.
    • General Public Sale: Remaining tickets, if any, may become available for general purchase after the lottery. Hospitality packages often have a separate, earlier sales cycle.
  • Recommendation: As the 2027 U.S. Open is still some time away, your best first step is to visit the official U.S. Open website and sign up for their email list and consider joining the waitlist on USGA Experiences to be notified immediately when 2027 specific ticket information is released.

3. Types of Tickets:

  • Gallery Tickets: These are the most common tickets, providing grounds access to the course, allowing you to walk the fairways and watch play from public viewing areas and grandstands. They are available as single-day or weekly passes (Monday-Sunday).
  • Practice Round Tickets (Monday-Wednesday): These are generally less expensive and offer a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing fans to follow players during their practice rounds.
  • Hospitality Packages: For an elevated experience, premium hospitality packages (e.g., Trophy Club, 1895 Club, Champions Pavilion) offer access to climate-controlled venues with upgraded food and beverage options, live TV coverage, and exclusive amenities. These are significantly more expensive and often sell out quickly.
  • Junior & Military Policies: The USGA typically offers special ticket policies for juniors (often complimentary for younger children with a ticketed adult) and discounted options for active and retired military members. Check the official FAQ pages closer to the event for specific details.

4. Key Purchasing Tips:

  • Pricing: Ticket prices vary widely based on the day (practice vs. championship rounds), ticket type (gallery vs. hospitality), and demand. Expect prices for championship rounds to be several hundred dollars per day, with hospitality packages significantly higher.
  • Buy Early: Demand is extremely high for U.S. Open tickets. Purchasing as soon as they become available through official channels is critical.
  • Use Official Channels ONLY: To avoid scams, always buy tickets directly from the official U.S. Open website or USGA’s authorized partners. Be wary of unofficial secondary market sites as authenticity cannot be guaranteed. The USGA may operate its own official resale marketplace closer to the event.
  • Mobile Ticketing: Like many major events, the U.S. Open primarily uses mobile-only ticketing. You will likely need to download the official USGA mobile app to access and manage your tickets closer to the event date.

Where to stay during the 2027 U.S. Open

Finding suitable accommodation for the 2027 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach requires significant advance planning, as the Monterey Peninsula area of California is a highly sought-after destination, especially during major events. Prices can be substantially higher, and availability extremely limited, compared to other regions.

1. Key Towns Near Pebble Beach:

  • Pebble Beach: Located within the gated community, accommodation options are extremely limited and typically consist of luxury resorts (e.g., The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay). These will be the most expensive and book up first.
  • Carmel-by-the-Sea: A charming, upscale village just south of Pebble Beach (5-10 minute drive), known for its unique shops, art galleries, and diverse dining. Offers boutique hotels, inns, and some vacation rentals.
  • Monterey: The largest city on the peninsula, just north of Pebble Beach (15-20 minute drive). Offers a wider range of hotel options, from budget-friendly chains to upscale hotels, along with attractions like Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
  • Pacific Grove: A quaint Victorian town west of Monterey (15-20 minute drive from Pebble Beach), known for its lighthouse, butterfly sanctuary, and scenic coastal drives. Offers charming inns and B&Bs.
  • Seaside / Sand City: Located slightly inland from Monterey, these towns may offer more budget-friendly hotel options (20-30 minute drive) but require a longer commute to the course.

2. Types of Accommodation:

  • Hotels & Resorts: A vast selection ranging from budget-friendly chains in Monterey to luxury resorts within Pebble Beach or Carmel.
  • Vacation Rentals: Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo offer a selection of houses, apartments, and condos. This can be a good option for groups or longer stays, often providing more space and kitchen facilities.
  • Bed and Breakfasts/Inns: The region has many charming B&Bs and inns, offering a more intimate experience. These often book up far in advance.

3. Booking Tips:

  • Book as early as possible: Accommodation for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach will be in extremely high demand. Start your search and booking process many months (ideally over a year) in advance.
  • Consider location carefully: Proximity to Pebble Beach is a key factor, but also consider your budget and desired experience. Staying within Pebble Beach or Carmel will minimize travel time to the course but will be the most expensive.
  • Check cancellation policies: Given the long lead time, ensure you understand the cancellation policies of any bookings you make.
  • Explore options beyond the immediate Peninsula: If you are willing to commute further, consider towns north of Monterey (e.g., Salinas, Santa Cruz) which might offer more affordable options, but will significantly increase travel time to the course.
  • Use reputable booking sites: Use well-known and reputable booking websites like TripAdvisor, Booking.com, or Expedia to find and compare accommodation options. Always verify reviews and ratings before booking.
