Pebble is scheduled to host the U.S. Open four times between 2027 and 2044. It's the shortest course on the PGA Tour, with insanely small greens (3,500 square feet) that have been systematically de-sloped and de-contoured so they can stimp at 14. Its bunkers frame resort-width fairways, and float 15 yards into the rough when the fairways are slimmed. A restoration or renovation is not financially practical when you factor in a year's worth of revenue lost. There is no incentive from a business perspective to shut the course down.
So my question is: since we know Pebble will be a U.S. Open course for the foreseeable future, how do you present the best version of it? What can realistically be done to create a compelling championship?
