California Public Golf Courses

900 golf courses scattered from North to South, make California golf as big as the state. Pelican Hill Golf Club, known for its rich traditions, is a popular course in Newport Coast. Palm Desert also boasts one of the top courses in Marriott’s Shadow Ridge Resort in the Palm Springs area which has long been a great winter golf destination and includes other top courses such as Indian Wells Golf Resort.

Every golf vacation starts with choosing a golf destination and the appropriate golf courses to play.  Usually, once these are determined, the next step is to choose a place to stay.  However, there are times that the destination isn’t necessarily all about golf.  There are places we visit for reasons other than golf – business, site seeing, visiting family – golf may only be a secondary part of the trip.  In these instances, finding the right place to stay can make all the difference for a successful visit.

San Francisco is a perfect example; there are a million things to do including visiting China Town, catch a Giants game or following your team to see them play the 49ers. You get the idea. Location, location, location – it’s the most important three words in real estate and certainly applies to hotels as well.  When you include amenities, history and service, it can define a perfect stay.  The InterContinental managed Mark Hopkins hotel has all that and more.  More San Francisco Golf Info

Pebble Beach Resorts is also a premier destination for golf tournaments and special events. Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the site of golf's most prestigious tournaments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships including the 2010 U.S. Open. The U.S. Open will also be played here for the 6^th time in 2019! The widely celebrated Pebble Beach Food & Wine and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance are two annual favorites that draw large crowds from around the world.

Golf Resorts include Napa Valley's Silverado Resort featured in the California Golf Resorts section of California's Golf.

“Let’s go to the Desert!” is the cry of California residents in metro areas who want to escape the rat race. It is also a prime retirement and vacation destination for golfers around the globe.  “The Desert”, in this case, refers to the Palm Springs area. However, when you approach Rancho Las Palmas Resort, on Bob Hope Drive, in Rancho Mirage, it appears not the least bit parched. Loaded with colorful, fragrant blooms and 27 bright green holes, it has a golfer friendly layout amidst 1500 palms, but don’t be fooled, as hole number 3, a 645 yard par 5 can be a dog that bites.
