Golf Holidays in San Francisco & Monterey

One of the most recognisable golf courses in the world, and has played an integral part of previous major championships and the overall history of the game. With a dramatic cliff-side stretch of holes, it’s obvious to see why it has such an iconic reputation.

Another one of the incredible courses stretching over the Monterey Peninsula. Spyglass Hill ranks as one of the best courses in California, it’s is a must play when visiting Monterey, so don’t let the other courses distract you from the gem that is Spyglass Hill.

Set out on a vast sandy terrain that overlooks the scenic Pacific Ocean, The Links at Spanish Bay takes on a Scottish links landscape style, to which Tom Watson quoted “It’s so much like Scotland, you can almost hear the bagpipes playing.”

When you think of Monterey, you definitely think of the Aquarium, Fisherman’s Wharf and the world class golf courses on the 17-Mile Drive stretch. Then driving up Route 1 between Monterey and San Francisco is an absolute must, with its stunning coastal views all the way up. Then arriving to San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge as an obvious stop, with more than enough bike rental shops to choose from, take a spin over the world renowned bridge to admire the views back down over the city and Alcatraz Island.

When touring the coast of San Francisco and Monterey, the centre of the nightlife will definitely be buzzing in the heart of downtown San Francisco, with options to enjoy live music over a drink or two, or to get your boogie on to some international DJ’s in one of the nightclubs. Valencia Street is the dynamic Mission District’s official party zone and quite possibly the largest in the city, an alternative option is Union Street which is a stretch in the Marina District with plenty of sports and dive bars.

This part of California is famous for its incredible selection of seafood restaurants all across the coastline between Monterey and San Francisco. Both areas have an awesome Fisherman’s Wharf, and it’s hard to pass these spots without stopping for some seafood along the way, with the endless selection of restaurants with their mouth watering menus.
