Review from Geoff D.

I don't golf, so my review only covers my experience at the lodge as a wedding guest.
But oh what a wedding venue this is. I've attended my share of weddings over the years... and it's not been often that I've seen the bride and groom exchange vows from this sort of bird's nest up here in the Carmel mountains just as the fog descends on the Pacific, the sun sets and well, just about everything is perfect.
Inside the lodge was airy and designed with a mix of rich wood and Tuscan-looking stone... an architectural style that I tend to fall for every time.
And of course the fact that this is Clint Eastwood's course makes the whole experience all the cooler.
Not sure I'll ever have the opportunity to go back to Tehama. But if you get the chance to play here, attend an event or if you're looking for a wedding venue in the area, I highly recommend giving them a call. -

We had lunch here with friends who are members of this rather exclusive club.
The location is absolutely stunning. We ate outside on a picture perfect day overlooking the gold course with Monterey Bay in the background. Clint Eastwood's humongous house/estate stood out on the hillside just past the golf course.
The service was impeccable and the food was good. We started with crab & corn bisque which was quite good. Two of us had the seafood tacos which came with beans & cole slaw. It was bland and could have used some seasoning and hot sauce.
The soba noodle dish with shrimp was also lacking in oomph, seasoning and inspiration, but the excellent Pinot Noir made up for it!

If you are a fair weather golfer, enjoys a nice cart ride, a good pace of play, and a course in near perfect condition (and have the money to shovel out for it) this spot is great! Not as many views of the bay like I imagined but still a great conditioned course.
If you prefer a course that is walkable and still has a normal amount of elevation changes this isn't for you. -

Note: PRIVATE CLUB
This is a tough one. Honestly, the course itself is extremely quirky. Under other circumstances, the bizarre layout and strange hole configuration would lend to a lower Yelp rating. One par-3 has tee boxes obscured by trees and is 100% carry from the tee to the green. There is a par-4 on which the entire fairway slants awkwardly in one direction. This is all due to the fact that the entire course is cut out of the hills of a rancho that really doesn't lend itself well to designing a golf course. I'm sure the designers did the best they could with what they had on hand. A 131/139 from Front/Back tees makes it a tough trek, and it definitely plays to its slope rating.
Now for the cool stuff. Number one: this is a private club founded by none other than Clint Eastwood. How cool is that? From the moment you arrive, you realize you're in for something amazing. The entire parking garage floor is tile. I first thought I had somehow managed to drive into the lobby. My Audi TT was the crappiest car in the garage, surrounded by AMG Mercedes, Rolls Royces, Porsches, a couple Ferraris, and a shiny, new Lamborghini Gallardo.
The clubhouse sits on top of a hill with great views all around. The staff was fantastic and very attentive. We were told to tee off "whenever we were ready". During the entire round, we saw only 2 other foursomes.
If you ever get the chance to play here, you would be crazy not to take advantage of the opportunity. I'm not sure that this would be my first choice for a country club membership if I had the money.Listed in: Golf Course Reviews for the…

Tehama is an amazing place to have a wedding or other special event. My brother and I both got married there (ummm, not to each other of course) and my stepmom's birthday party was there one year. As everyone says here, it really is a magical place. Even if it's foggy (which it usually isn't when it is in Carmel), it's such a beautiful location and the facility itself has such a nice flow for parties-- ie bar area separate for those that don't want to dance. The food is incredible, everything is flawless.
James, Holly, and Rita take such good care of everything, I did not feel stressed at any point on my wedding day. I can't say enough good things about Tehama and the staff. LOVE IT, LOVE THEM! Our wedding was even more special than I ever expected it to be! -

So, I have to admit that I've never actually golfed here, but I did attend a wedding reception at the club recently... Tehama is like a little piece of heaven. When you step out of the club and onto the back terrace overlooking the course you feel like you're at the top of the world --- i know it sounds cheesy, but it really is absolutely breathtaking!

I've been to a wedding dinner here as well as the fitness center, and even drove around in a golf cart while friends and family golfed (not my thing). I believe that this club has one of the best views of the California coast. The mountains are beautiful and green. In the restaurant they treat you very well. Although they have a menu, they are willing to make just about anything you want. The fitness center is really nice with two pools and a large hot tub. I like it when they have a separate kiddie pool (for the obvious reasons), and the fitness center locker rooms have anything and everything that you could possibly need....and enough to sneak one or two things in your bag if you want.

was staying at the inn at spanish bay and attended a dinner here last week. the view is amazing and the facility is new and beautiful. food/service was just okay. we were a group of about 100. it felt rushed. the carmel valley is nice and tehama is a good place to have a party. i just don't know if you should or have to use their catering people. i like the home that Clint is building but why so large? did you think of your carbon footprint before building this home? yikes.
