At the heart of Carmel Valley Ranch’s 500 acres, winding through the core of the resort from the valley floor though the foothills and up to significant elevation, is the Carmel Valley Ranch Golf Course. As the only Pete Dye design in Northern California, the 18-hole, par-70 course has earned a reputation for its stunning views, friendly wildlife, tactical challenges and playability. Experience championship-level play at a course rated among the “Best US Golf Resorts” by Travel and Leisure’s “World’s Best” readers’ survey.

In a region known for spectacular golf experiences, Carmel Valley’s unique microclimate bathes the course in more than 300 days of sunshine each year, offering ideal playing conditions year-round. Pete Dye designed this Monterey golf resort course to take advantage of dramatic elevation changes and verdant natural beauty, with the course’s two signature holes, 11 and 13, both offering breathtaking drops into the valley.
