Carmel Valley Ranch Resort

Overview: Carmel Valley Ranch is a high-end resort layout that features the signature strategic complexity and visual drama of a Pete Dye design. Located in the sunny microclimate of Carmel Valley, the course is a "tale of two halves," with the front nine winding through the valley floor and the back nine climbing steeply into the rugged Santa Lucia foothills. The layout is famous for its deep bunkers, elevated tee boxes, and small, undulating greens that require expert shot-making and a bold approach, all while offering spectacular views of the vineyards and oak-studded ridges.

Did You Know? This is the only Pete Dye-designed course in Northern California, and it underwent a significant million-dollar renovation in recent years to refine the routing and enhance the sustainability of its lush, high-country landscape.
