The Preserve Golf Club

I was honored to be invited to play at this exclusive private golf club. With just over 300 members, it's a rare privilege to experience it. The fairways were impeccably maintained, and there were very few golfers around. The clubhouse has a unique men's lounge right outside the changing room. The drive from the property entrance to the golf course took about 10 minutes, and the journey was worth it. The Santa Lucia Mountains create a stunning backdrop for The Preserve. This club is accessible only to members and their guests. The Tom Fazio-designed course winds through ancient oak stands, rolling meadows, ponds, and streams, enhancing the natural beauty of the landscape. Our caddie, George, was exceptional, guiding us patiently through the course. We walked 20,000 steps today, covering the entire course. Despite the heat and exhaustion, it was an unforgettable experience worth every moment.

The Santa Lucia Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for The Preserve. This private club is playable only by its members and their invited guests. The Tom Fazio designed course meanders through stands of ancient oaks, beautiful rolling meadows, ponds and streams. Blending with the landscape, the course enhances, rather than dominates the splendid vistas.

Best club in all of Monterey, except perhaps CVAC(which happens to be right next to it). It's sprawls several thousand acres and sports a golf course, club house, two restaurants, incredible views, a small fishing lake, equestrian center, and the most friendly staff I have ever met.
