Below are a few quick steps to planning our San Diego golf trip:

• Step One
  Decide on a budget for your San Diego golf vacation. Your costs may include airfare, rental car, lodging, meals, green fees, cart rentals and non-golfing entertainment. Remember, there’s a lot to see and experience in San Diego. San Diego resort or golf vacation package deals that include lodging and green fees often may also save you money.
  
• Step Two
  Gather information on the golf resorts and courses in San Diego County by visiting our Go Golf San Diego Golf Course Directory.
  
• Step Three
  Take note of any tournaments or special events in San Diego at the same time as your San Diego golf vacation. Plan your travel dates accordingly, as these activities may prevent you from booking at your preferred hotel or playing your chosen San Diego golf courses.
  
• Step Four
  Consider San Diego's weather. Although San Diego is known for year-round mild weather, it may rain in the winter. Spring and fall are the best weather times of year to visit San Diego for a golf vacation. But, you can save some money with some great deals during the fall and winter months.
  
• Step Five
  Evaluate the needs of your family or golf group. Family groups with children need to be near attractions other than golf courses. Consider the skill levels of the golfers to ensure that everyone can have a good time on the courses chosen. Go Golf San Diego a complete rating system, scorecards, and golf course reviews for many of San Diego County’s golf courses.
  
• Step Six
  Contact each San Diego resort and golf course you are interested in, or use a travel agent to get information and make your tee time reservations through Go Golf San Diego. Some golf vacation package deals restrict dates and tee times. You will have more flexibility booking lodging and tee times yourself, but you will save money by purchasing a package deal.
  
• Step Seven
  Make all reservations, including tee times, well in advance of your San Diego golf vacation dates. Review all reservations and any restrictions or conditions prior to your trip.

It's not only professionals who go on San Diego golf vacations, but even beginners who want to learn the game go on vacations to select SD Golf Schools, offering two, three and five day packages at numerous courses in San Diego.
