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.

Sometimes, if you are flexible, you can call ahead and get a walk on tee time. Popular courses do fill up weeks in advance, but sometimes cancellations happen, and you can get lucky and play. Do a little research before, and find out how far in advance you can book a time. The hotel you stay at may have packages, or can be of assistance in booking, or finding places to play at.

Look to see if packages are available. These can include hotel rooms, play times for you and even a spa day for your significant other. Different options can be found by searching online. There are even courses where you can test out new clubs as most every major manufacturer is in San Diego.

Knowing what your game handicap can allow one to locate a course that will benefit your playing. Check for restrictions on the amount of players and play type. There might be a requirement to play in groups and you might need to be paired up with someone if you went to play alone. Some locations only allow cart golf, some may allow walking.

Dress codes can be important. Check in before, and make sure you are dressed appropriately for the atmosphere and rules. You can pick up appropriate clothes at their pro shop if the need be. There have been golfers that get in trouble for inappropriate attire.

Many different matches are played year round. The United States Open was played a couple of years back. Being able to play on that same course can be a great feeling. For those looking at a competitive aspect, check for novice contests and smaller circuits to play. Internet searches can bring up plenty of options to seek out.

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. Find packages and special deals in the area and take advantage. Your hotel can even be the best resource for finding the perfect place to play.
