Cypress Point Club is a private golf club in
California. The club has a single 18-hole course, one of eight on the Monterey peninsula near
Monterey, California. The course is well known around the world for a series of three dramatic holes that play along the
Pacific Ocean: the 15th, 16th and 17th, which are regularly rated among the best golf holes in the world. The 16th is a long par three that actually plays over the ocean. The course was designed by
golf course designer Alister MacKenzie, collaborating with
Robert Hunter, in 1928. It was used for the
AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am until 1991, but was dropped from the rotation because it refused to admit blacks.
