JANUARY 2, 20 - June 2009 marks the opening of Terranea Resort, a stunning oceanfront destination resort in Palos Verdes, just 20 miles from Los Angeles. Among the resort's exceptional amenities are a Ted Eckenrode-designed nine hole golf course and The Spa at Terranea.

Ted Eckenrode Nine Hole Golf Course

At a time when everyone is looking to build the next biggest, longest, hardest golf course, comes the short course game. Terranea joins some of golf's most storied short course venues...Augusta National, Shinnecock Hills (Southampton), and Pebble Beach.

Terranea's nine-hole, par three short course and practice area with chipping and putting greens is located on one of the most scenic peninsulas in Southern California with views to the Pacific and Catalina Island. Despite being a short par 3 course, the elevation changes, contours, bunkering, views, unobstructed sightlines and excellent playing conditions all combine to give it more than its share of visual drama and 'wow' factor. The finishing 8th and 9th holes, which head straight down to the ocean, will be the most memorable.

For those short on time, seasoned golfers, and beginners, this course delivers a fun and manageable course, reasonably priced, that won't take all day to play. The practice area will be an ideal place to brush up on the essentials of the short game. For those with more time, the Trump golf course is two miles from the resort.

The Spa at Terranea

Relaxed and stylishly elegant, The Spa at Terranea is a state-of-the-art, 25,000 square-foot oceanfront oasis nestled in a secluded, unrivaled setting with sweeping views of the Pacific and Catalina Island - a distinctive California-style "sanctuary of the senses." Twenty four treatment rooms, including three VIP Suites, are accessed by a grand staircase with unobstructed ocean views. The pristine and protected setting of Terranea makes it uniquely positioned to immerse guests in the natural world. Nature's rhythm is an integral part of the Spa at Terranea experience with treatment options designed to correspond to the body's internal rhythms. Vibrant and invigorating treatments will be offered in the morning, while gentle, quieting treatments offered in the afternoon and evening.

The Spa at Terranea features an array of fitness options including a 5,000 square-foot Fitness & Wellness Center with cardiovascular and weight training equipment, a movement studio and outdoor yoga terrace. Spa cabanas and spectacular ocean views from sweeping terraces create intimate areas for lounging around the spa's lap pool. And, an expansive and diversified wellness program includes hiking, cycling, yoga, Pilates, movement, meditation and lifestyle awareness classes. The intimate Spa Caf'e offers a wide variety of delicious, freshly prepared natural food, juices and other drinks.
