Carmel Valley in Carmel by the Sea, California, is the dryer, sometimes warmer, oasis of green living in the Monterey Bay. Shown is a deer on the golf course at the lush Carmel Valley Ranch luxury resort‘s Golf Club. Immaculate golf courses such as Carmel Valley Ranch create a scenic blanket of green spread across the valley just a few miles from the bluest Pacific Ocean and sandy beaches.

For golfers, some courses are public, some require a stay at the resorts & inns to play and some have guest privileges for the day. Here is a list of the major golf courses in the Monterey area:
