Why the U.S. Open Creates a Significant Accommodation Opportunity

The U.S. Open is one of the four major championships in professional golf and consistently draws large numbers of visitors from across the United States and internationally. Pebble Beach is one of the most recognised golf settings in the world, and the 2027 event is expected to attract strong interest from both domestic and international travellers.

Hotels and resorts on the Monterey Peninsula fill quickly around major tournaments. Visiting groups, families, corporate travellers and groups of friends often look for private vacation-rental properties because they offer multiple bedrooms, shared living areas, kitchens, parking and a level of comfort and privacy that several separate hotel rooms cannot match. A well-presented private home within a practical drive of the course may have genuine appeal to the right group of visitors.

Which Properties Are Suitable?

Golf Event Stays supports a range of property types. You do not need to own a property directly on 17-Mile Drive to attract interest. Suitable properties may include:

  • Homes in Pebble Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove or Monterey for guests who want to be close to the action.
  • Properties in Seaside or Marina, which are approximately 20 to 30 minutes from the course under normal traffic conditions.
  • Larger family homes in Carmel Valley or the wider Monterey County area for groups who prioritise space and group value over short travel times.
  • Properties in Salinas or other parts of the region for guests willing to make a longer daily drive in exchange for a more spacious or more affordable base.

Note that event-week traffic near Pebble Beach and access restrictions within 17-Mile Drive can lengthen journey times considerably during championship days. Any travel time you include in your listing should be an honest approximation under normal conditions, with a note that event traffic may add to it.

The most important factors are the total number of bedrooms, guest capacity, parking availability, shared living space, the quality of presentation and how well the property is described. A property that is not immediately adjacent to the venue can still be attractive if it offers a strong combination of these elements and is clearly and honestly presented.

How to List Your Property on Golf Event Stays

The listing process is straightforward. Here is a practical walkthrough of the main steps.

  1. Estimate your potential rental value. Use the Golf Event Stays listing process to get an indicative estimate of what your property could potentially earn during U.S. Open week. The result is an estimate, not a guaranteed figure, but it gives you a useful starting point.
  2. Decide your available dates. Consider the full event week, 14 to 20 June 2027, and decide which nights you are comfortable making available. Longer stays may appeal to groups travelling from further afield.
  3. Confirm guest capacity. Count your bedrooms and work out how many guests can stay comfortably, accounting for bed sizes and bathroom availability.
  4. Take clear photographs. Good photographs make a significant difference. Photograph each bedroom, both bathrooms, the kitchen, living areas, any outdoor space and the parking area. Natural daylight tends to work best.
  5. Write an accurate property description. Describe what the property offers: number of bedrooms and beds, bathrooms, kitchen and dining facilities, living space, parking, outdoor areas, Wi-Fi, air conditioning or HVAC, and approximate travel time to Pebble Beach.
  6. Set your rental price. You are in control of pricing. Consider comparable vacation rentals in your area during similar events, the number of guests you can accommodate and the facilities you offer.
  7. Submit your listing. Once your property details are ready, submit your property on Golf Event Stays. Your listing is reviewed before it goes live.
  8. Respond to enquiries. When interested guests make contact, respond clearly and promptly. Confirm the lead guest's details, total group size, arrival plans and any specific requirements.
  9. Agree terms and confirm the booking. Use a straightforward written agreement that records the key details: arrival and departure dates, total price, payment schedule, security deposit arrangements, house rules and cancellation terms.
  10. Prepare your home. Clean, declutter and secure personal belongings before your guests arrive.

  • Take dated photographs of the property before guests arrive.

On Arrival Day

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to list my property for the U.S. Open 2027?

Golf Event Stays offers two options. Self-Managed costs $349 as a one-time listing fee with 0% commission. Fully Managed has an upfront listing fee of $695 plus a 15% success commission on the confirmed rental value, with the upfront fee refunded when a rental is secured.

With Self-Managed, you pay $349 once and keep 100% of your rental income. You manage all enquiries and communication directly. With Fully Managed, Golf Event Stays takes an active role in managing enquiries, communicating with potential guests and supporting the booking process. The $695 upfront listing fee is refunded when Golf Event Stays successfully secures a rental for your property, and a 15% success commission applies to the confirmed accommodation rental value. There are no monthly fees or hidden charges with either option.

Does my property need to be next to Pebble Beach to attract guests?

No. Properties in Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Seaside and other parts of the Monterey Peninsula may also attract interest, particularly from groups who prioritise space and value over being immediately adjacent to the course.

Many visiting groups, families and corporate travellers look for private homes that offer multiple bedrooms, shared living areas, parking and kitchen facilities, and they may be willing to make a short daily drive if the property provides a strong overall combination of comfort, space and value. Properties in areas such as Pacific Grove (approximately 10 to 15 minutes from Pebble Beach under normal conditions) or Monterey (approximately 15 to 20 minutes) can be well positioned. Even properties in Carmel Valley or Seaside may appeal to the right group. Always be transparent about approximate travel times, and note that event-week traffic will lengthen normal journey estimates.

Do I need to rent out my home permanently to list on Golf Event Stays?

No. Golf Event Stays is designed for event-specific listings. You can make your home available just for U.S. Open week without operating a permanent vacation-rental business.

A number of homeowners who list on Golf Event Stays do so for one specific event and do not normally rent their property at other times. You simply decide the dates you are willing to make available, set your price, prepare your home for the stay and manage the rental for that period. Golf Event Stays makes it straightforward for ordinary homeowners to participate in an event-related accommodation opportunity without any expectation that they will continue renting year-round.

How should I screen guests for a U.S. Open rental?

Confirm the lead guest's full name, contact details, total group size, who will be staying, and the reason for the visit. Positive indicators include clear communication and willingness to sign the written agreement.

Ask for the lead guest's full name, telephone number and email address. Confirm the total number of adults, whether children are travelling, who will be staying at the property, and whether anyone else is making the booking on the group's behalf. Also confirm arrival arrangements and the number of vehicles where parking is relevant. Positive signs include consistent information, clear communication, a group size suited to the property and willingness to follow the payment and agreement process. Warning signs include refusal to identify the lead guest, conflicting information, undisclosed additional guests, plans for parties or requests to bypass normal payment arrangements.

Does a Golf Event Stays listing include U.S. Open tickets?

No. Accommodation listed on Golf Event Stays does not include U.S. Open tickets. Guests should arrange their own tickets through authorised USGA or official ticketing channels.

Golf Event Stays is an independent property-listing marketplace and is not affiliated with the USGA, Pebble Beach Company or the U.S. Open Championship. The platform does not sell event tickets, event access packages or event access of any kind. Accommodation availability and ticket availability are completely separate. Homeowners should not imply or suggest that tickets are bundled with their rental.

What information should I give guests before they arrive?

Provide the property address, check-in time, access or key instructions, parking details, Wi-Fi login, heating and HVAC instructions, appliance instructions, house rules, your contact number and approximate travel information to Pebble Beach.

Good pre-arrival information reduces unnecessary calls and helps guests settle in quickly. Include the full property address, agreed check-in time, how keys or access codes will be provided, parking instructions, Wi-Fi name and password, instructions for the heating or air conditioning system, guidance on important appliances, waste and recycling information, your main house rules, an emergency contact number and basic local information such as nearby shops, restaurants and the approximate drive to Pebble Beach under normal conditions. Noting that event-day traffic near the course may increase normal journey times is also helpful for guests planning their days.
