The 36-hole Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course in Carlsbad is one of Southern California s most storied places to play. Thanks to major renovations that took place between 2011-and 2013, both the North Course and the South Course are joys to play at the amenity-rich Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Public players are invited to make tee times on one of the courses each day, while the other one is reserved for La Costa members. When you have a tee time at either of the Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course's two eighteens, you well truly be walking in the footsteps of the game s most illustrious players. From 1969 to 1998, a composite routing (#1-3 and #13-18 of the North Course and #10-18 of the South Course) served as the venue for the PGA Tours Tournament of North. Legendary names like Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, Miller, Mickelson, and Woods have all won at La Costa. The North eighteen at the Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course sports a linksy-feel with its exposed terrain, large landing areas and subtle elevation changes. You well find a nice mix of long, short, straightaway, and dogleg tests. Natural areas and bordering swathes of wood chips and pine straw frame the fairways on a layout that golfers of all abilities can relish. Several lakes add challenge, but aside from the par 3s, forced carries are not a factor. If you miss the fairways, you well likely find your ball and have a manageable recovery shot. Meanwhile, the adjacent South Course offers a contrasting aesthetic look and playing experience. This more heavily treed, primarily flat? playing field lends itself to a traditional, parkland-style game. The South is the narrower of the two eighteens at the Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course. As you navigate your way on dogleg holes, accuracy off the tee and strategic positioning of your ball are crucial to avoid being blocked out by trees. A few creeks twist through the routing and rough can also be pesky here.? You'll need all of your green reading skills on the tricky South putting surfaces. The breaks are subtle and influenced by grain. Practice facilities include a driving range, chipping areas and putting greens. The clubhouse at the Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course is an impressive, sprawling building with a clubby aura. Many celebrities have hung out here over the years. The restaurant above the golf shop overlooks the courses and is known for its flashy cocktails and good food. A day at the Omni La Costa Resort Golf Course is a treat no matter which eighteen you play, and if you want to stay overnight, the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa has long been one of Southern California s most memorable retreats.
