Sheep Ranch

Golf without bunkers, stretched across a Pacific headland.

18 holesPar 726,636 yardsresort

Why play it

Sheep Ranch is memorable less for a single signature hole than for repeated contact with the sea. Its bunkerless strategy lets contour and wind supply the trouble.

Coore and Crenshaw organized an exposed headland around shared green sites and low-profile features that leave the horizon dominant.
