San Diego and the surrounding areas feature over 80 golf courses, 50 of them open to the public. The variety in design includes layouts to satisfy the taste of any golfer. Courses are diverse: some have vistas of the Pacific, and others possess views of country hillsides or desert landscapes. Desert golf courses are typical of East County in San Diego, whereas tree-lined and links-style golf courses in San Diego are predominantly closer to the coast, providing for astounding views and the challenge of the sea breeze. San Diego golf courses carved along canyons are characterized by dramatic changes in elevation and the daily variations of the wind make club selection and playability even more difficult. Avid players claim San Diego’s courses are "five-star", attracting professional golfers from across the country. Even Duffers can find many courses where they can enjoy the game while retaining their self-respect.
All golfers, whether professional or amateur, seek out an array of sporting products to enhance their game.

Enjoying some of the best courses in San Diego demands proper equipment, providing better performance through technology. The past ten years have brought about huge advancements in golf equipment. New materials, breakthrough designs, and healthy competition among manufacturers have changed the game. The truth of the matter is that if you haven’t recently updated your settings, you are rapidly falling behind. Below we outline a few new products with websites that are sure to add an injection of performance (and fun) to your game:
TaylorMade Golf www.taylormadegolf.com, offers the Qi10 Max Designer Series Driver
- We all want to be the longest hitter in our foursome, and thanks to the consistently great engineering from the folks at TaylorMade, that title could be easily attainable. The latest from the company whose drivers are used by more PGA Tour players than any other brand is the Qi10 Max Designer Series Driver. A combination of an extremely lightweight design (just 32g), comes with a Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 Graphite shaft (45.5"), and a unique aerodynamic head creates higher swing speeds and unmatched distance.
Bridgestone www.bridgestonegolf.com, offers the TOUR B RX MINDSET Golf Ball - The golf ball could arguably be the piece of equipment that has seen the most change in the last decade. Gone forever are terms like "balata" and "wound." Today’s offerings are built to provide extreme distance off the tee and soft feeling, high spinning action around the green. Bridgestone Golf has produced some great options, including the TOUR B RX MINDSET, a ball built for better players that feels outstanding, dances on the green and is easily launched into orbit off the tee box.
Accessories that Make a Difference – Tees, Shafts, Bag
Clubs and balls are not the only things that have improved. Other "accessories" that we take for granted have seen tremendous leaps.
Tees: Get a ride of those old wooden stakes and try out Evolve Golf’s Epoch Tee. Used by more than 30 PGA Tour players, it has been scientifically proven to provide gains in distance and accuracy and is far more durable than wood. www.evolvegolf.com.
Shafts: When buying new clubs, research shaft options. No one does it better than UST Mamiya, check out their online fitting program at www.ustmamiya.com.
Bags: If you enjoy walking the course and playing the game as it was meant to be, you should look into a lightweight bag option that will help decrease your fatigue. The new MIZUNO K1-LO STAND BAG is the ticket. (mizunousa.com)
San Diego residents are actually quite lucky to have access to not only some of the best courses in the nation but also some of the best equipment manufacturers. The combination of complimentary landscape, weather, and other resources make San Diego’s golf industry a lucrative and impressive business producer, purveyor, and employer
"San Diego should be considered the golf capital of the United States," said National University System Institute for Policy Research President W. Erik Bruvold. "While other regions may be home to more courses or have more golf-related tourism, San Diego is unique in having four vibrant cornerstones of the golf economy. The region hosts multiple professional events support 90 golf courses, and is home to the industry’s leading equipment manufacturers."
