One of the states' premier golf courses is what California Golf magazine rates Carmel Mountain Ranch Golf Course. The eye-catching panoramic mountain and valley view on this 18 Hole championship course is one of the many things this course has to offer. The courses' detailed condition, elevation changes and calming running streams make it visually breathtaking. Back in 1992-1993, Carmel Mountain Range Golf Course was ranked one of the top 20 public courses to play in Southern California. The U.S. Open Qualifier, the PGA Tour San Diego Open Qualifier and Southern California PGA Tournaments have been played here because of the difficult holes on the course.
