Guests can enjoy an array of resort amenities at Quail Lodge including Edgar's, located in the Quail Golf Club, which offers lunch and dinner with eclectic and savory California cuisine. The 18-hole Robert Muir Graves-designed golf course is now managed by KemperSports Management, which operates golf, resort and sports facilities in 26 states and internationally. A heated outdoor pool, bocce court, tennis courts and weight and cardio center round-out the resort's comprehensive fitness offerings. The on-site Land Rover Experience Driving School invites guests to climb behind the wheel and master a variety of off-road obstacles.

The new Quail Lodge will also reintroduce enhanced meeting facilities with 6,500 square feet of flexible space including six conference rooms, banquet facilities for up to 200 guests, smaller breakout suites and colorful tents for garden parties, weddings and receptions, which can cater to 600 guests.
