Carmel Valley Ranch Golf Resort Monterey California

Carmel - Monterey - California - USA

A thoroughbred amongst Californian resorts, Carmel Valley Ranch spreads over 400 acres of lush wooded grounds in the foothills of the Santa Lucia mountains, on the southern side of the famous Monterey Peninsula. Quietly tucked in a picturesque valley minutes away from the coast, this upscale yet intimate resort offers all-suite accommodation, a first-class tennis centre and an exquisite Pete Dye championship golf course.

Accommodation at Carmel Valley Ranch comprises 144 studio, one and two bedroom suites, each one grouped in homelike clusters on the hillside of the valley. Warm tones and plush furnishing predominates in the oversized suites, all boasting wood-burning fireplaces and large bay windows opening up onto private terraces with inspiring vistas over the mountain, valley and fairways. Many suites also include an outdoor jacuzzi on the deck and an extra fireplace in the bedroom.

Carmel Valley offers the best of contemporary Californian cuisine in The Oaks formal dining room, the casual Ranch House Café and the clubhouse Club Grill. Menus are prepared with market produce from the Carmel Valley, freshly caught fish from the Californian coast and herbs from the resort's own kitchen garden, while the selected wine list has been consistently honoured by Wine Spectator's "Award For Excellence".

The expansive Tennis Centre features twelve hard and clay courts, including a sunken centre court bordered by flowering gardens. A Proshop, locker rooms and private lessons with the resident pro complete the amenities. The charming clubhouse and its courtside café are set in the estate's original 1890's ranch house, adding to the charm and elegance of this premier tennis facility.

Carmel Valley Ranch provides relaxing massages, skin and beauty treatments in the privacy of your suite while the concierge will gladly arrange activities and excursions in the Monterey Peninsula area. Trendy Carmel-by-the-Sea, historic Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Monterey Peninsula's famous 17-Mile Drive are just minutes away from the resort.

Pete Dye's only design in the legendary Monterey Peninsula, home to the world famous Pebble Beach, the golf course at Carmel Valley Ranch extends across the valley and up the foot hills of Santa Lucia mountains. It is both visually scenic and technically challenging. The original layout was completely reshaped by Pete Dye in 1995 to provide a fair yet testing round, with many large sand bunkers, thick, long rough, several water hazards and numerous trees in play. The back nine is particularly challenging with most of the holes built in the hills, requiring uphill and downhill shots from elevated tees to elevated greens.
