Guest rooms are spacious, even sprawling, with custom-designed Stickley-style furniture and rich woods and fabrics.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve trails border the property, while chauffeured house cars connect you to La Jolla and Del Mar.
The rooms
Custom Stickley-style furnishings and switch-lit fireplaces anchor spacious rooms, finished with marble bathrooms stocked with local sage amenities.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Underwater speakers play beneath the heated outdoor pool, and a whirlpool sits under an open-air gazebo overlooking the fairway.
The spa
Botanical treatments and grape-seed wraps lead to eucalyptus steam rooms and a lounge warmed by a fireplace.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
A.R. Valentien
Original botanical watercolors line the timbered dining room, where seasonal California menus look out across the 18th hole.
The resort itself is a celebration of the American Craftsman period, from its stained glass and handcrafted woodwork to its Stickley-style furnishings.
At the table
The Grill cooks over a custom wood-burning rotisserie, with patio fire pits looking across the greens.
How it began
Owner Bill Evans modeled the 2002 build on Pasadena landmarks, commissioning Judson Studios to craft the stained-glass tree doors.
“True to the arts and crafts movement that inspired the design, materials include wood, brick, and stone; and furnishings include Stickley furniture and stained glass.”
