Carmel Valley Ranch has always been an escape with plenty of room to roam, to explore, to discover. Where people rekindle romances, reunite with friends and family, revive spirits, or simply get away and play. And these days, play is more important than ever. Our all-suite accommodations are where the luxury of resort living meets the call of the wild. Swap stories by the fireplace. Gaze at the stars from your private deck as you savor a glass of wine from our own vineyard. You’ll be comfy, carefree, and most of all, captivated. The only Pete Dye-designed bentgrass golf course in Northern California is right here at Carmel Valley Ranch, and no matter how you slice it (or hook it), this par-70 layout offers something for all players: tactical shots, dramatic elevation changes and incredible scenery. Our talented artisans add a unique twist to experiences at The Ranch—join them and hang out with horses, say hello to honeybees, greet our goats, and more.

This resort is top notch in one of the best in the Monterey Bay areas. The facilities are amazing. The golf course is spectacular and the grounds are as pretty as you will find anywhere. The food and service is top notch. Definitely one of the best places to stay to relax in one of the most beautiful scenic areas you’ll ever find

Gorgeous property and beautiful golf course - wish we could have played but it was closed for a private event. Dinner was excellent and staff was super friendly!

Overall this is a nice property with lots to do. There are a few big caveats however: 1. There are a lot of kids running around the restaurant and public spaces--yes, this is a family friendly spot. However, there does not tend to be any restrictions (or restraints) about how loud the kids and parents are, or where they run around. Including the dining area and spa areas. 2. The way this property bills for mixed drinks is absurd--they will charge you for the drink (say a Manhattan) then charge you more for the actual alcohol. Someone 'in corporate' thought they could get away with charging a lot more money but 'unbundleing' the alcohol from the drink. It's obnoxious and expensive (between $24-$30) per drink. 3. The room we stayed in was a bit 'tired' and out of date--the air and heat vents were obvious and needed cleaning. Some of the walls were scuffed, dinged and just old. 4. The staff were lovely and friendly.5 5. All of our in-room requests (say for extra coffee pods) were met with friendly responses and filled quickly. Overall, I'd go again but realize this is not a quiet, nor luxurious property. It is a workhorse of a property. Want a more quiet and calm experience? Go elsewhere.

An amazing way to break away from the busy routine and unplug in nature. Excellent activities for kids of being address and adults. I'll be sure to come back in summer

Nice resort but service was very slow. Also be sure to take pictures of your room when you get to your room. We got a housekeeping charge for room damages that wasn’t during our stay because we didn’t inspect the room closely when we got there and was tired with a toddler.
