Carmel Valley Ranch

Carmel, California

Behind the welcoming gates of the vast, 1700-acre estate known as Carmel Valley Ranch lies a world of refreshing natural beauty.Majestic oaks, verdant fairways and brilliant flowers are set against the rugged hills of the Monterey Peninsula, just six minutes east of the beaches and galleries of Carmel-by-the-Sea. And because Carmel Valley Ranch is on the sunny side of the peninsula, even the weather smiles on the guests who come from around the world to bask in the secluded luxury of this tranquil California countryside.Pete Dye`s 18-hole championship golf course was ranked by Golf Magazine as one of "Monterey`s must-plays." The front nine holes meander along the Carmel River, while the heavily forested back nine offer stunning panoramas...shared only with the deer, fox, and wild turkey that make the course their home.
