"Modeled after the famed Gamble and Blacker houses of Pasadena, this cliffside Craftsman-style resort looms large. The decor is dark and heavy, with brick, stone, and wood beams. A hit with golfers and design geeks alike, this serene resort is spread across six acres but still manages to feel cozy. It's located on the 18th green of the South Course of the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, which hosted the US Open in 2008 and 2021. While the course is open to the public, guests get preferred tee times and access to special packages. The spa offers treatments featuring eco-friendly marine- and botanical-based products, and A.R. Valentien features seasonal fare." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
"San Diego’s premier annual food event, which matches up some of the city’s best chefs with top area farmers and producers to create dishes to pair with wine or craft beer, is back on April 14. Hosted on the Lodge at Torrey Pines’ lush outdoor terrace from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a portion of ticket sales going to the Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, Celebrate the Craft will feature an impressive lineup of chefs from restaurants like Callie, Kinme, the Fishery, George’s at the Cove, Lionfish, Trust, and the upcoming 31ThirtyOne in North Park." - Candice Woo
"Set atop the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, The Lodge offers views of the ocean as well as the Torrey Pines Golf Course. With its post-and-beam construction, The Lodge is modeled after Pasadena’s Gamble and Blacker houses, exemplary of early-1900s Craftsman architecture." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Every element of this setting seems to exude a California-casual meets country-club vibe. Inside, choose from one of the Craftsman post-and-beam dining rooms, warm with amber lanterns and stained-glass light fixtures; or simply head outside to dine on the patio overlooking the pool and 18th hole of Torrey Pines Golf Course. The city's unending growing season means that there is a boundless harvest of local ingredients to inspire this kitchen. Begin with Dungeness crab flan surrounded by watercress, Belgian endive and roasted grapes, drizzled with tangy balsamic dressing. Then, indulge in elevated comfort foods like chicken under a brick, set over Tuscan kale and cannellini beans in tomato sauce. The brûléed lemon sabayon tart is above par and pure joy." - Nancy DePalma
