What is the "Fake Pebble Beach tee time brokers" scam in Monterey?

Question

Accepted Answer

Websites and Instagram accounts offer "last-minute Pebble Beach tee times" at 200-400 dollars off posted rates. Real Pebble Beach tee times are booked through the resort itself, with resort guests getting priority. Brokered "tee times" often do not exist; deposits are lost. Book Pebble Beach tee times only through Pebble Beach Resorts directly. Staying at Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay, or Casa Palmero gives tee-time booking priority. No legitimate broker has special access.
