THE MAN WHO MADE
PEBBLE BEACH Samuel F.B. Morse
Affectionately known as “The Duke of Del Monte,” Samuel F.B. Morse founded what would become the Pebble Beach Company in 1919, and was its faithful steward for the next 50 years. But it started with a risk. Morse, a distant cousin of the telegraph inventor and a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society, was also an All-American football player at Yale who captained an undefeated 1906 team. So he wasn’t afraid to call an audible when he was asked to liquidate the land holdings of Pacific Improvement Company in the area known as Pebble Beach.
Morse decided to buy the land himself. His vision for Pebble Beach was different than what Pacific Improvement Company had in mind. Morse wanted to preserve the coastline, so that the public could enjoy it – forever. Rather than "His vision for Pebble Beach dice up the prime real estate for a was different than what Pacific select few homes, Morse wanted to create an ocean-fronting golf course Improvement Company had in available to all. That’s how Pebble mind. Morse wanted to preserve Beach Golf Links was born.
the coastline, so that the public could enjoy it – forever."
Morse maintained this philosophy throughout his life. Today, the shores of Pebble Beach are lined by golf courses and 17-Mile Drive, while homes are located on higher ground overlooking incredible scenery. Morse led his company from 1919 until his death in 1969, just three years before another dream was realized – Pebble Beach Golf Links hosting a U.S. Open. “I have been to a good many places in the world, and I have never found anything equal to this. I think it is the greatest place on earth.” – Samuel F.B. Morse (1885-1969)
