Seeking Out San Diego Golf Courses

By Elnora McCullough


If you live in or are just visiting the area, there are numerous San Diego golf courses based in that locale. Some are set up against the ocean while others are inland. There are even famous tracks with great tournaments held yearly. You can play those exact same holes, and compare yourself against the pros! Because of the year round great weather, many people book tee times for that perfect game.

Since many locales can be reserved far out, one can try to get into a group or even put on a wait list. Calling the locale ahead of time can also let you find out if there is room for yourself and possibly another person to join you. For the more recognized locations, its possible to reserve a spot and motel at the same time.

Hotels, resorts and courses sometimes have package deals throughout the year. It can make it easy to get tee times, and have a great, convenient place to stay. Several resorts have packages that pamper women while you are on the links. Several also have affiliations where you can try out new clubs, play a round with them even. Many major manufactures are in the area and pride themselves of stepping up your game.

Matching your playing ability, or handicap up to the area courses can help in making a choice that stays fun. Some locations play very difficult, and can be frustrating for new golfers. Some locations prefer foursomes, while others can easily fit in single players and sometimes 5 to play in the same group. Call ahead to see what is acceptable. Some locations also do not allow walking, and prefer carts to speed up the round.

Dress codes are strictly enforced at some clubs. Knowing ahead of time can keep you from visiting and then being turned away for not having the proper attire. This can keep you from wasting time to find another locale. There is also the option of purchasing clothing on site at one of the shops to be in code.

There is a wide variety of tournaments held here yearly. Just a few years ago the US Open was held, so you can play an elite course fairly easily. If you are looking to compete, there are many mini tours and amateur events available within a short drive. Simply looking up California events, or amateur events yields many possibilities.

It takes very little to set up a lesson or two while on vacation. There are several schools, and many teaching pros available. Rates are fairly normal and should compare with your prices at home. Having a little help with local knowledge can easily make your round more enjoyable. Think how cool it could be getting new clubs, a lesson and having the round of your life.

Making your vacation at the beach memorable can be as easy as adding a round at San Diego golf courses nearby. A fun and relaxing time can easily be had.
