Round up your pals for a golf getaway in one of the top US golf destinations: San Diego. Whether you and your friends are looking for a weekend away or a week-long stay, here are top things you should know for your San Diego golf trip.
Where to Stay in San Diego
There are many golf resorts in the San Diego area. If you have the budget, check out:
The Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad
The Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego
The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla
Each of these above has world-renowned golf courses. However, if your wallet is a little lighter, check out these spots:
The San Vicente Golf Resort in Ramona
The Carlton Oaks Golf Club in Santee
Sycuan Golf Resort in El Cajon
The Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook
These golf destinations are a little farther inland, offer much more bang for your buck, and are well worth the stay.
