CordeValle resort announces its Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway retreat package

(SAN MARTIN, Calif.) - CordeValle, A Rosewood Resort has announced details of an exceptionally fun and luxurious retreat designed for men. CordeValle's Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway package provides a stylish yet distinctly non-traditional getaway in the resort's extraordinarily beautiful natural setting, perfect for enjoying world-class golf, a full-service spa, fine dining, wine tasting, an array of outdoor activities, or simple relaxation time.

"As a world-class golf resort, we are only too aware of how seriously many golfers take the game," said Julee Midden, CordeValle director of marketing. "We wanted to create a package that takes advantage of the beautiful setting and the many amenities we have here, but in a light-hearted way that focuses more on the pleasure of spending time with good friends than perfecting your tee shot."

The word "golf" is said to have originated as an acronym for "Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden." This decidedly male perspective is thoroughly embraced in CordeValle's Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway, created for up to four gentlemen to enjoy a friendly gathering at a Fairway Home – perfect for a bachelor party, golf outing, or reunion. CordeValle's Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway includes components such as a "Steaks, Scotch & Cigars" dinner prepared by a private grill chef on the patio, a day of unlimited golfing, golf-themed amenities, plus a gentlemen's nightcap each night of the group's stay.

CordeValle's Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway package includes two nights in a spacious, four-bedroom Fairway Home with a cozy gathering area with fireplace, dining room, and private patio, customized welcome amenities for all, and unique culinary experiences tailored to male guests. CordeValle's Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway is available now through the end of this year.

The total cost of CordeValle Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway is $6,000.00 for a party of four, exclusive of tax, resort fee, and gratuity, and is subject to availability. Component details are:
• Two nights in a Fairway Home (additional Fairway Homes are available for larger groups).

• A customized welcome basket including food products, a gentlemen's beverage and golf-themed amenity.

• Breakfast in The Bar or at The Grill on the first morning.

• A specially-prepared, in-home continental breakfast to enjoy at leisure on the second morning.

• "Steaks, Scotch & Cigars" dinner featuring Kobe beef prepared on the Fairway Home patio by a private grill chef, plus side dishes and desserts, a selection of the finest scotches and cigars for after-dinner enjoyment.

• One day of unlimited golf including cart (forecaddie required on course, but not included; tee times based on availability).

• A $125 Sense Spa credit for each person.• Gentlemen's nightcap each night.

Other activities available for the Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway guests include tennis, bocce ball, croquet, tennis, customized golf clinics, night golf, hiking, yoga, Pilates, wine tasting and vineyard tours at Clos LaChance, CordeValle's on-site winery. Some of these activities are at an additional cost. Sense Spa appointments must be booked at least one week prior to arrival.

The Men's G.O.L.F. Getaway package is non-refundable and not combinable with any other offers or applicable to groups. The package is available through Dec. 31.
