are those views more stunning than
from the signature par-4 third hole, a
short dogleg left that plays along the
shores of the ocean. It's just one spot on
the 6,645-yard, par-70 course where
you'll want to take a moment to savor
the scenery. Adding to the course's al-
lure is the mild year-round climate
and intriguing layout that fea-
tures tight fairways and small,
undulating greens.
THE ST. REGIS RESORT
Seen from several holes on
the golf course, the hilltop St. Regis
commands all the elegance of a Tuscany
mansion. Designed for indulgence, the
resort features an acclaimed spa offering
Mediterranean-style treatments, three
swimming pools, six restaurants, pri-
vate-beach access and, best of all, per-
sonal butler service.
"Staying at the St. Regis and playing
Monarch Beach Golf Links is a must be-
cause of their close proximity to each
other, and the universal appeal of being
near the ocean and cool beach towns,"
said course General Manager Eric
Lohman. "They're not only considered
local favorites, but also world-class be-
cause they specialize in genuine cus-
tomer service and personalization."
BEYOND THE LINKS
After you've savored the course, tee
up for power-shopping the boutiques
and enjoying the region's cultural attrac-
tions in nearby Laguna Beach (home of
Pageant of the Masters and The Laguna
Playhouse), Dana Point (where you can
fish or board a whale-watching cruise at
historic Dana Point Harbor or learn
about Pacific sea life at the Ocean Insti-
tute) and San Juan Capistrano, famous
for its 238-year-old mission where
swallows and tourists flock.
