GOLFING IN AND AROUND SAN DIEGO
In the last few years, San Diego and San Diego County has become one of the biggest premier golfing destinations in the U.S. San Diego and the surrounding areas have over 90 golf courses and more are planned. There is a diverse selection of courses from those in eastern San Diego county, where the desert plays a major role in the layouts and design. Green, lush, tree lined style golf courses within the city of San Diego reflect the closeness of the ocean. Torrey Pines and Coronado golf courses border the Pacific Ocean itself. The views from all of the courses are unbelievable and unique. Another famous course is Del Mar, next to the famous race track, almost on the ocean. It’s no wonder Golf Digest named San Diego one of the Top 50 golf destinations in the world.
San Diego has become the sixth largest city in the United States. Much of the appeal is obviously the warm inviting year ’round weather. The following is a listing of the golf courses, location and type of course:
