Just a stone’s throw away from Pebble Beach, Quail Lodge & Golf Club is Monterey Peninsula’s best-kept secret. There’s nothing quite like a day out on the beautifully manicured grounds of the par 71 golf course at Quail Lodge. Annually awarded “Best Playing Conditions” for all of Central California, the Robert Muir Graves-designed & Todd Eckenrode refined, golf course in Carmel-by-the-Sea covers 6,500 yards of pristine fairways & greens, boasting playability that offers a challenge to all golfers regardless of skill level.
“Everybody talks about the “Pebble” courses, but when you’re in the area, try out this track, you won’t be disappointed.”
The 18-hole championship Carmel Valley golf course features four sets of tees, some of the Monterey Peninsula’s most unique bunker designs trimmed with fescue lips, short grass areas that surround the greens to provide more shot options, and challenging grass swales that come into play on seven holes. Regarded as a player-friendly course with just enough bite to keep it interesting, the golf course at Quail Lodge is perfect for everyone.
