Fairway One At The Lodge, Pebble Beach Resort
After years of back and forth with the California Coastal Commission, Pebble Beach now has 38 glorious new ways to spend a night or two while dreaming of that birdie you made at the 18th hole (good luck with that!). If you’re in the gifting mood – and have hit the Lotto in recent memory – the rooms at Fairway One at The Lodge set a new standard of luxury at a resort already known for its high hospitality standards. There are thirty rooms arrayed in three two-story buildings off the first fairway, and two four-bedroom cottages with a 1,000 square foot living room flanking two spacious sleeping quarters. Floor to ceiling stone fireplaces and fully-stocked wet bars complete the rosy picture. And corporate groups can chill-and-swill at a 2,500 sq. ft. meeting space just a few steps away from the lodgings. Act fast – the 2019 U.S. Open is just a few calendar pages away – what better gift for the dude who has damned near everything else (Lear Jet, Rolex and a set of $34K Honma IS-06 irons)? — David Weiss
