While traditional hotel rooms at other properties tend
to be inhibiting, these suites are spacious and offer a living room with
fireplace, refrigerator, dining table, sofa and easy chairs, television
and
CD player. Theree's always some wood waiting near the fireplace, a new pair
of leather gloves, a poker and long stem matches to get the gas starter
lit. Additional wood in a bin sits right outside the door to your suite.
Bedrooms include a second fireplace, second
TV and sliding glass door to a private deck where you can watch bluejays
in the trees or see wild turkeys and deer graze in the wooded regions.
If you are tired and don't feel like you want to walk uphill to your room,
drivers with golf carts are at your beckoned call night and day to whisk
you away to your nest.
In room massages, horseback riding, tennis courts and
even a childd's play center are a few of the on site offerings. There's
a famous wood sculptor, Paul Wilson, just off the premises who sells unique
items, and a 5 minute drive will take you to the Carmel Valley Barnyard
Shopping Plaza. Add another 10 minutes and you'll be at the mission
or in the heart of action in busy downtown Carmel shopping district.
Pete Dye recently finished an artful redesign of his original
course to increase playability. Railroad tie and telephone bulkheading
is deemed an integral part of this course ranked by Golf Magazine as one
of Monterey's "must plays".
Winding along the Carmel River and into the hills, the 18-hole championship
layout now encompasses wider fairways, modified bunkers, enlarged greens
and new lagoon hazards. The front nine holes meander along the Carmel
River while the heavily forested back nine offer stunning panoramas shared
only with fox, deer and wild turkey that make the course their home.
Golf with referral or stay at the lodge. Practice facilities
include a driving range, putting/ chipping greens and a full-service pro
shop plus a clubhouse with breakfast and lunch at the Club Grill restaurant
and bar. USGA Rules govern all play. Call For Playing Privileges.
