The Carmel Valley features a few premier golf community destinations for the avid golfer out there - Carmel Valley Ranch, Quail Lodge and Tehama Golf Club among them. When development began, the area was actually first envisioned as a hangar-community, although only two such homes were ever built. Instead, the market was expanded to include a number of ranch-style homes among others. The air park at the community's center has since been closed, but has become a well-used community park for locals, popular for the flying of model planes.
