Resort Overview
This opulent resort is the essence of Mediterranean-style sophistication, with its limestone fireplaces and marble baths, private terraces, luxury cabanas, and stunning coastal views. The golf is equally as breathtaking, with not one but two Tom Fazio golf courses perched along the Pacific. The Ocean North Course stretches nearly 7,000 yards with several holes weaving their way along the cliff’s edge. The Ocean South Course features deep chasms and green complexes that look pretty from a distance but can be diabolical to navigate. The two 18s blend together beautifully, making it easy to play at least 36 holes in a day. And the views? Both courses have vistas that rival any coastal golf experience in California — yes, even those a few hours north on 17-Mile Drive.
