In the foothills of California’s Santa Cruz Mountains, CordeValle spreads across a private valley of vineyards, oak trees and Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf terrain. Accommodation is arranged in spacious bungalows, fairway homes and villas with fireplaces, terraces and a country-club calm rather than a conventional hotel layout. The resort brings together championship golf, a spa, tennis, outdoor pursuits and dining at venues such as One Iron Bar, Lion’s Peak Grill and Il Vigneto. From One CordeValle Club Drive, the landscape falls away into fairways, vines and low golden hills.
