Things to do / Travel Guide
There are ample opportunities to golf in the central California coast region where the temperatures and conditions are almost always ideal. Thing is, you don't just want ample opportunity. You want to enjoy the best golfing in the United States. Fortunately, you'll find that here, too.
Does the name Pebble Beach mean anything to you? That's right. The ultimate golfing destination is in central California. Small greens, narrow fairways, and spectacular ocean views are only part of the challenge. You must also consider what to order for lunch!
Then there's Spyglass Hill Golf Club, which is also a regular stop on the PGA and amateur tours. Sandy seaside dunes greet the golfer at the start of play before the holes begin winding their way through tall pines and holes with elevated greens. Don't waste your time coming here if you're not an expert. You want to be able to enjoy your round.
The Links at Spanish Bay is a Scottish links-style course that was also once named to Golf Magazine's list of "Gold Medal Resorts." Officially certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, you'll enjoy the natural beauty of the area during a fun day of golf.
If you're in the San Francisco Bay area you'll definitely want to visit the Pasatiempo Golf Club. The course is sprinkled rolling hills, trees, and sand bunkers. Every hole is memorable along this course that has made many top 100 lists.
Finally, in San Francisco itself you'll find Harding Park, the course where Tiger Woods won the 2005 World Golf Championships-American Express Championship. Fortunately, you don't have to be an expert to walk in his footsteps. A nine-hole course was recently added to Harding Park to serve the needs of the novice golfer.
That's a small sample of the wide variety of courses you can find in this large region, regardless of your golfing ability.
