The Preserve at The Preserve Golf Club

The Preserve Golf Club, nestled in the hills of Carmel-By-The-Sea, is a testament to unhurried golf amidst the wild beauty of the California coast. Carved into a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and dense oak woodlands, the course offers a singular experience where strategy trumps sheer power. Generous fairways belie the challenge; errant shots are swallowed by the natural terrain, demanding thoughtful club selection and an appreciation for the ground game.

Designed by Tom Fazio, The Preserve embraces a modern aesthetic while respecting the inherent character of the land. Fazio meticulously routed the course to integrate seamlessly with the existing environment, creating vistas that are both breathtaking and testing. Here, the emphasis is on shot-making acumen, with approaches that require precision to navigate subtly contoured greens.

More than just a challenging course, The Preserve fosters a deep connection with nature, an experience shared by a discerning membership who appreciate the tranquility and seclusion of the setting. It is not a place defined by championship banners or televised events. But rather a refuge for those seeking an escape from the ordinary, where the rhythm of the game is in harmony with the surrounding wilderness. And after a round, members can be found savoring a post-game meal highlighted by the club’s legendary artichoke fritters – a local delicacy reflective of the region's agricultural bounty.
