Welcome to the only oceanfront resortin the San Francisco Bay Area.

from the everyday—and close to the natural wonders

cypress trees and around ponds, culminating in a panorama

of crashing waves from one of the highest-ranked golf holes

in the world.

The Ocean Course, designed by Arthur Hills, features a

traditional Scottish links design with rolling greens and three

of the best finishing holes in the world of golf.

Just outside our doors—36 holes of world-class golf.
