welcome to the forums, what part of san diego are you in? i live in kearny mesa. cheap course, well if you have a residents card you can get good rates at torrey and balboa. any other cheap course will be twilight rates at some of the bigger ones.

if you want beginner courses try out mission bay, tecolote, sail ho, any of those would be good. you shoudl visit www.golfsd.com and that will give you all the courses in the area.

I live in the scripps ranch area. Texas i just started to so I want to try a par 3 just to see how I do. I know I'm not going to do good but it should be fun to see what I need to work on.

I was stationed in San Deigo for 4 years and didnt pick up golf till i was out of the service and back in texas, Wish i wouldve played in SD while i was there now ive gotta take a trip out there to play. I just found out torrey pines is a public course probably expensive but would b fun nevertheless

I am thinking about moving out to the San Diego area from Colorado, and I too am interested in some prices for the San Diego area courses. I have searched the internet & found some good resources, but I was curious to get some information from the people that live in the area.

I don't know what area we would be moving to, but in the information I've found it seems like the courses out there are pretty expensive.

Is it nice living in the San Diego area? Is it busy & dirty?

jaragon, golf course prices are skyrocketing down here. but at least they are mostly nice and there are tons to choose from! i can pretty much only afford twighlight rates now! you get a massive discounts at torrey though if you have a residents card. i play their for around 40 bucks!

san diego is a very nice place to live. some parts are busy and dirty, but for the most part you certainly wont be dissapointed.

Ya x-forged, I unfortunately am seeing that the prices of golf down in San Diego (SD) are more expensive than what I'm paying here in Colorado. I have seen some San Diego golf membership cards that you pay $50/year for and you get another $10-$20 off for rounds of golf in the SD area ... so that might be an option too.

I grew up in Pacific Beach. I used to go to the Mission Beach course when I was about 14 (almost 10 years ago) - that's how I got into golf. A friend of mine started going to the range and playing a little bit and I went along with him. I played 9 holes 3-4 times there, and went to the range with him a dozen times, and I never touched a club again until about a month ago.

I remember MB being a budget course for sure, but just fine for a new player.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By klineka · Posted

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
