Outdoor Recreation
With
near-perfect weather and a diverse landscape
encompassing beaches, mountains and deserts, San
Diego is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts:
-
Parks - At 5,700 acres, Mission Trails
Regional Park is one of the largest urban parks in
the United States. Downtown offers more than a
dozen parks ranging from the North and South
Embarcadero Marina Parks with harbor views to the
Horton Plaza Park in the heart of the city.
-
Biking/Hiking - San Diego has miles of
designated bike paths, as well as several bus and
trolley routes that accommodate bicycles. Cuyamaca
Rancho State Park is a popular destination nearby
for its 110 miles of hiking trails. Downtown's
waterfront boardwalk and linear park along the
railroad line are ideal urban trails.

Golf
Digest names San Diego "One of the Top 50 Golf
Destinations in the World." Golfers can chose from
92 golf courses in San Diego County, offering
everything from a seaside setting to challenging
desert mountain terrain. Downtown's Balboa Park
includes an 18-hole golf course.
Two
PGA tournaments - the Buick Invitational at
Torrey Pines and the Accenture Match Play
Championships at La Costa - tee off in San Diego
each year. San Diego will play host to the 2008
U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
-
Mt. Woodson Golf Club is a short and
tight mountain track with the angular beauty of
a cubist painting.
-
Immaculately conditioned and pleasing to the
eye, San Clemente's Fred Couples designed
Talega contrasts wide, lusciously
green fairways against bunkers of crushed white
marble sand on a course that rewards accurate
driving and intelligent strategy more than mere
brute strength.
-
Irvine's
Strawberry Farms Golf Club is set among
scenic canyons, wetlands, granite boulders and
natural waterfalls that wrap around the
picturesque thirty-five-acre Sand Canyon
Reservoir.
-
Golfers can cross one of the attractive
cobblestoned bridges at Coyote Hills Golf
Course and remember Payne Stewart, who
designed the Fullerton course with Cal Olson.
-
Tijeras Creek Golf Club, another area
creation by Ted Robinson, presents an ordinary
front nine that is followed by a collection of
magical holes routed through old-growth
sycamores, oaks and native chaparral on the
back.
-
Aliso Viejo Golf Club offers
twenty-seven relatively short, hilly and tight
holes designed by Jack Nicklaus and son Jack
Jr., the only publicly accessible Orange County
layout by the Golden Bear.
