GOLF CLUB OF CALIFORNIA, THE

SAN DIEGO REGION

Members Only - 18 hole

3742 Flowerwood Lane, Fallbrook, GA 92028

Tel: (760) 451-8702

Designed by unknown. This private club is definitely cart golf, traveling long distances among environmentally sensitive areas and housing. You will encounter scarcely a level lie, many nice views, and a stout challenge. The course is one of a few in the state that end with a par 3. From downtown San Diego (about 20 miles to the course): Take I-15 north and exit at Hwy 76 and drive west for 2.5 miles to Flowerwood Lane. Turn right on Flowerwood Lane and go one-half mile to clubhouse entrance. I see this as a layout that will appeal more to the serious, more accomplished player; besides it's golf only. There is a more of a premium upon tee ball accuracy here than at many new private clubs I've played. Though stated often, here you will likely use every club in your bag. Expect excellent service.

GOLF RESORT AT INDIAN WELLS, THE

DESERT REGION

Municipal - 36 hole -cost: $40 - $130

44-500 Indian Wells Lane, Indian Wells, GA 92210

Tel: (760) 346-4653

Designed by Ted Robinson. There are two courses at Indian Wells, the East Course and the West Course. Indian Wells could be the definition of a resort course: aesthetically pleasing and user friendly. Sure, there is water on 14 of the 36 holes, but in most spots the water can be easily avoided. Hit the ball well and you will score well. Hit the ball poorly and you will be surprised at how many good bounces you receive. Carts are included in the green fees and mandatory. Check their website for specials. Yardage listed is for the East Course. From downtown Los Angeles (about 125 miles east to the course): Take I-10 east, exit at Washington Avenue and head south. Go west on Highway 111, then north on Indian Wells Lane to the club. The club is on the right, just past the Hyatt.
