Dunes Course by Davis Love III and El Cardonal by TGR Design

As a part of its partnership, TAFER and Diamante have partnered in the ownership and operation of the Dunes Course by David Love III and El Cardonal by TGR Design. Diamante’s Dunes Course, ranked as high as #36 in the world by Golf Magazine, weaves its way through spectacular Pacific dunes and boasts amazing beach and ocean views from nearly every hole. El Cardonal course is Diamante’s second championship course and the first-ever golf course design by Tiger Woods and his TGR Design firm. Influenced by the old-style courses of Southern California where he grew up playing, Tiger created a course that brings back the need for strategy in golf—with several options to navigate each hole. With Diamante’s signature on-course comfort stations and dramatic long-range views of the Pacific Ocean, natural arroyos, and native dunes, El Cardonal is a golf experience not to be missed. An awe-inspiring 14-acre practice facility; clubhouse, restaurants and bars; retail center; on-course comfort stations every three holes; and signature service make for an unforgettable golf experience at Diamante.
