GOLF IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY
With 93 golf courses in every conceivable setting from mountains to desert to ocean, it's no wonder Golf Digest named San Diego "one of the Top 50 golf destinations in the world." Even the Pros agree, with both the 2008 US Open Championship and the PGA Tour's annual Farmers Insurance Open held at the legendary Torrey Pines golf course. Numerous San Diego courses have also been designed by golf luminaries like Gary Roger Baird, Tom Fazio, Ron Fream, Alister Mackenzie, John Miller, Gary Player, and Ted Robinson. Whether you're a scratch handicapper or a weekend duffer, you won't be disappointed in the array of spectacular golf courses here.
San Diego is the perfect year-round golf destination and the fastest growing destination for golf in California, if not the fastest growing golf destination in the whole U.S.A. Of course Torrey Pines Golf Course and the La Costa Golf Resort & Spa are the most famous golf courses in San Diego, but the San Diego golf scene has much more to offer beyond those two world- renowned golf courses.
With an average annual rainfall of about 5 inches, the San Diego golf climate seasonally ranges in temperature from 60 - 85 degrees, with 75 degrees being the average. It literally does not rain at all in San Diego for 6 - 8 months at a stretch. (April - Oct) Year-round golf weather doesn't get much better than that!
The greens fees to play both the 18-hole and par-3 courses in San Diego are an absolute bargain in comparison to other golf destinations in the country. The quality, variety and design of the layouts are very impressive and offer all types of golf experiences to fit anyone's budget.
