San Diego golf vacation resorts always a top draw

Among athletes, golfers are a pampered lot (ever heard of marathon runners on the race course lugging umbrellas the way golfers do at the fairways from hole to hole?). Golf vacation resorts, therefore, try to outdo each other in offering the best of pampering to golfers on a holiday.

San Diego, California, however, need not go to great lengths to draw even the most of discriminating of club-toting vacationers. It is blessed with golfer-friendly weather and seemingly endless stretches of pristine beaches which make for a relaxing respite after holing out from the greens.

Wise golfers’ choices at San Diego would include the twin offerings (North Course and South Course) of the La Costa Resort & Spa. Its par 72 North Course, featuring multi-tiered greens, hosts the traditional kick-off leg of the PGA Tour in the Mercedes Championships, a fitting testament to the legendary reputation of La Costa. The South Course on the whole is kinder to the amateur player and weekend golfer. Nonetheless, they should watch out for a number of water hazards which could lend for an even challenge to their game.

San Diego parades another worthy choice in The Steele Canyon Golf & Country Club. The veteran pro Gary Player banked on his years of experience in golfing competitions around the world to design Steele Canyon’s three nine-hole courses. A complete round of 18 holes can be played through different course combinations from this innovative design. Such innovation also had nature in mind, leaving much of the local flora untouched to epitomize golf vacation resorts that are ambrosia to both body and soul.
