Best Golf Courses & Driving Ranges in San Diego

Where to golf in San Diego

This list covers golf courses, driving ranges, pitch-and-putt courses and indoor golf lounges. Colina Park Golf Course in Mission Valley, Wild Woods Golf and Game Lounge in San Marcos, The Golf Bar in Clairemont, The Loma Club in Point Loma and Stadium Golf Center in Serra Mesa lead our list.

Short courses like Colina Park and The Loma Club are great for beginners and quick rounds. Indoor golf lounges let you play simulated courses with food and drinks, rain or shine. Book tee times online, especially on weekends.

Before you go: a quick checklist

• Torrey Pines and the city’s municipal courses offer lower rates for San Diego residents. Bring ID if you qualify.
• Book tee times early: popular courses fill up days or weeks ahead.
• Check the dress code, which often means collared shirts and soft spikes.
• Ask about twilight rates, which are usually much cheaper.
• Practicing? Many driving ranges are open into the evening under lights.

How we ranked San Diego's best golf courses and driving ranges

We started with every golf course, range or lounge in San Diego County that is open, verifiable and reviewed by visitors, then scored each one on review quality weighted by review volume, so a perfect score from a handful of visitors can't outrank years of consistent praise from thousands. Rankings are editorial and never for sale; paid placements are clearly labeled Sponsored and sit outside the ranking.
