Going to CALI! SD to exact...

["Richard"]

anyone know of any good courses out there ? My cousin said he is really close to oakland if that helps. Cheap and good if possile

You do mean San Francisco, right? That's right next to Oakland. San Diego is 500 miles south, right by the Mexico border.

Sorry, yes I mean SF F and D are right next to eachother on the keyboard

Since you're talking SF, I have a couple of recommendations. In priority order:

1. Pasatiempo. Semi-private located in Santa Cruz, about 1 hour from SF. Designed by the guy who did Augusta National. A truly excellent course.

2. Bayonet/Black Horse. About 90 minutes from SF. Two courses that used to be run by / for the US military base. As I recall, Bayonet is the better of the two.

3. Half Moon Bay (Ocean Course): About 30 minutes from SF. This is the golf course that the last American Pie movie was filmed at. Some really nice views from the Ocean course.

I checked those ones out, my cousin said they are out of his price range and I'm not going to pay for him. Anything under $75? Thanks

If you want to browse all the courses in that area, check out the following:

If you happen to be in Golden Gate park and want to kill an hour or two...there is a 9 hole par 3 executive course right in the park. Nice little course.

actually i just found out we are going to do 4 days SF and 3 days SD

I dont think he would be upto playing an exec course but me and the rest of the boys can go during the day while he is at work

He said "F and D" hehehehehehehe

Seriously though. Check the web for specials, especially twilights or 48 hours specials.

For example, twilight Monday-Thursday at Half Moon Bay is $75.00. I played it last year in February, a good track.

I don't get it

If your cousin lives close enough, he might get 'resident' rates at some nice municipal courses like Harding Park. They have a SF resident rate and a bay area resident rate. I'm pretty sure it's the same at Torrey Pines in SD. Maybe they have a state resident rate? Worth checking out.

if we go with a resedent do we get that rate as well?

Don't think so. I just pointed that out as you said your cousin wasn't looking to spend, but you kind of implied you didn't mind spending yourself. Some of the courses in those areas are worth every inflated penny.
