Adjacent Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course
Just next door is an 18-hole championship course, a masterpiece from golf architect, Mike Young. Each hole was designed to conform to the slopes and contours of the natural landscape. Not only has Mike Young met the highest standards required by international golf organizations in building the course, but recently the property earned certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for its preservation of the ecological balance of the area. Be sure to pause at the 15th hole overlooking the serene and blue Pacific.
