CordeValle

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose CordeValle for a golf-and-wine-country escape where a sprawling mountain foothill setting matters as much as the course.

About the hotel

CordeValle spreads across approximately 1,700 acres in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where rolling meadows, wooded hills, creeks and vineyard country frame a secluded golf resort. Its 18-hole championship course runs through the valley; lodging ranges from rooms and suites to four-bedroom Fairway Homes. A spa, estate vineyard and winery add wellness and wine-country pursuits to the golf, with California Craftsman-style buildings designed to draw on the surrounding landscape.

Choose it if

You want a stay centered on championship golf, with a course that winds through creeks, meadows and oak-studded hills.
You would rather spend your escape among foothills and vineyards than in a busy town or on the coast.
You need room for a group: the four-bedroom Fairway Homes are arranged around shared living and dining space.
