The Preserve Golf Club: 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. The layout is rated as one of California's finest, and is included in Golf Digest's listing of America's 100 greatest courses.
The Preserve is a private club. Guests may only play if hosted by a member.

Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
