Great Vacation On 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.

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.

There are some locations that have a strict dress code. It is a good idea to check to see if the place you will play has enforcement on what you wear. This will ensure no problems occur once you get there. Otherwise, you can spend a few bucks in the pro shop and get decked out and have a great round in the process.

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.
