Located a few miles inland from the glorious fivesome of 100 Greatest courses on California's Monterey Peninsula (Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and the two courses at Monterey Peninsula Country Club), The Preserve Golf Club is dramatically different, the only golf course contained within a 20,000-acre parcel of gentle hills and mammoth oaks. Fazio moved almost no earth here, so perfect was the routing established by Poellot and Sandy Tatum. The greens are subtle, the bunkering low-key, the atmosphere one of absolute tranquility.
