The Preserve Golf Club
About the club
Located a few miles inland from the glorious fivesome of 100 Greatest courses on California’s Monterey Peninsula (Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and the two courses at Monterey Peninsula Country Club), The Preserve Golf Club is dramatically different, the only golf course contained within a 20,000-acre parcel of gentle hills and mammoth oaks. Fazio moved almost no earth here, so perfect was the routing established by Poellot and Sandy Tatum. The greens are subtle, the bunkering low-key, the atmosphere one of absolute tranquility.

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.

I'm a lucky man to have walked this track. Fairways were like greens.

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.
