The resort's Pete Dye-designed golf course just completed a multi-million dollar restoration and has been ranked among the “Best US Golf Resorts,” by Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best” readers’ survey.Opened in 1897, Del Monte Golf Course is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi. Designed by golf and polo enthusiast Charles Maud, this inland course boasts a meandering layout that has challenged golfers for more than a century. It was also the original host of the California State Amateur, still played on Del Monte's narrow, tree-lined fairways and small, well-protected greens, and continues to serve as one of three courses on which the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational is played. This course is adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Monterey.A round of golf on Quail Lodge’s scenic Carmel Valley course is so relaxing, the wildlife may ask to play through. Go ahead and let them – when you’re surrounded by hills and lakes this beautiful, it seems a shame to rush. Covering 850 glorious acres of the Quail Lodge Resort and bathed in Carmel Valley sunshine, Quail Lodge offers a golfing experience you won’t soon forget.   Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:26:54 +0100 en_479_589_0
