Posted February 5, 2016 GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT PROFILE: PRESERVE GOLF CLUB AT SANTA LUCIA PRESERVE CARMEL, CA PRESERVE GOLF CLUB AT SANTA LUCIA PRESERVE & COMMUNITY The Santa Lucia Preserve ( The Preserve ) is a private community nestled in the Santa Lucia Mountains and is just minutes from California's fabled Highway 1 and popular tourist destinations Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey and Big Sur. Considered by Travel & Leisure to be one of the nation s most treasured communities, the Santa Lucia Preserve encompasses the last of central California s great Mexican land grants. The Preserve is an owner-governed community that is dedicated to appreciating and respecting the natural beauty of The Preserve and its geographical, historical, and cultural setting. The Preserve s 20,000 acres are home to a lively community of 300 families and property owners. They relish living, learning, playing and sharing with family and friends in the middle of this unspoiled land. They are sheltered from the ocean fog by the surrounding mountains; the pleasant year-round climate allows the families to enjoy a rich diversity of outdoor recreation, entertainment, cultural events and quiet relaxation. This is a closely-knit community, which shares stewardship of the land and its traditions. Part of the community is the Santa Lucia Conservancy, which protects the Preserve s landscape through permanent conservation deeds and easements on 90 percent of the land. These 31 square miles of oak woodlands, savannas, grasslands, wetlands, redwood forests and stands of Monterey pine rise from 100 to 3,000 feet above sea level. They hold 54 distinct habitats virtually hidden from outside view by the surrounding ridges of the Santa Lucia Range, which plunges into the sea at Big Sur.

4 The Preserve has a strong culture, the cornerstones of which are a reverence for the majestic landscape of California s coastal foothills, a respect for the rich Spanish/Mexican traditions of Monterey history and a joy in the pleasures of sharing unique experiences with family and friends. It is unlike any other residential community in the Nation. The challenging, Fazio-designed, top-100 golf course is carved out of The Preserve s natural terrain. Members and their guests play challenging golf on a walk through the full spectrum of nature. Throughout 365 acres the course wanders by towering oaks, through rolling savannahs, around wetlands and across seasonal streams framed by the majestic Santa Lucia range. Golfers can rarely see the next hole, let alone other golfers and tee times are not required. As Tom Fazio has remarked about the course layout, This is as good as it gets; you really don t need me. The course is already here.
