Thanks for mentioning La Jolla Shores! I prefer shorter courses too. Are there any specific features that make it suitable for beginners?
Absolutely, La Jolla Shores has wider fairways and shorter distances between holes, which helps to build confidence. It’s also not too crowded, so you won’t feel rushed!
I’ve also enjoyed playing at Balboa Park Golf Course. It’s not too difficult but offers some lovely views, and the facilities are decent. Plus, it’s very budget-friendly!
Balboa Park is a solid choice! I love the location, but how does the course handle beginners? Any special tees for them?
Yes, Balboa Park has forward tees which cater to beginners. They also have a nice driving range to practice at before heading out!
Don’t forget about Mission Bay Golf Course! It’s fairly flat and forgiving, which makes it a go-to for beginners. Plus, the staff is super friendly and always willing to help.

Also, don’t underestimate the benefits of The Golf Club at Rancho Bernardo Inn. While it can be challenging, they have a friendly atmosphere and great instructional staff!

If you’re looking for great courses in San Diego, I highly recommend Torrey Pines! The practice facilities are top-notch and they have excellent pros on-site for lessons.
