Golf Course Architecture

David Zinkand is nearing completion of the renovation of the Shore course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach, California.

Zinkand’s multi-year plan for the renovation was to pay homage to Mike Strantz and Forrest Fezler’s 2003 redesign of the original 1962 layout, while improving aesthetics and adapting the course to modern player’s expectations.

The latest and final phase of renovation is expected to be complete in June and focuses on installing new drainage and CapillaryFlow liners into all bunkers and waste areas. In addition, new sand is being laid in formal bunkers while existing bunker sand is being screened and placed in waste areas. Several hazards have also been repositioned to encourage more strategic decision-making.

“The Shore course is rightfully regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful locales for golf,” said Zinkand. “Our team has remained true to what Mike created, while ensuring the course’s eminent playability and seaside character continue to shine through.”
