Carmel Highland Golf Resort and Spa

Enjoy a luxurious round of Southern California golf with today’s feature: $36 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Carmel Highland Golf Resort and Spa in San Diego ($74 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until October 3, 2013!)

Only 25 minutes from San Diego International Airport and conveniently located just minutes off of I-15 and I-56, Carmel Highland Golf Resort and Spa makes getting out on the course just as easy as getting here. And as a DoubleTree by Hilton property, you can be assured of the quality of Carmel Highland's amenities, guest services and course conditions. The facility offers a unique combination of finer accommodations in that country-club atmosphere that affords you the opportunity to relax and thoroughly enjoy your round of golf.

The parkland terrain of the course at Carmel Highland Golf Resort and Spa winds up and down the hillsides just north of San Diego, and the extremely well-maintained fairways and greens always shine in the natural beauty of that Southern California sun. The picturesque scenery will certainly catch your eye as you play through your round; however, "beauty" is not all that Carmel Highland has to offer. The "beast" certainly rears its head as well — particularly on the several par-5s, on which big hitters will shine given the extra space between tee and green, and the shorter par-4s, where finesse and precision is the name of the game and power lands one in the rough.

This 18-hole golf course was designed by a Southern California legend, William F. Bell. While playing over 6,400 yards from the back tees with a course rating of 71.4 and slope rating of 129, the front tees can be more manageable for some, playing to about 5,200 yards. Carmel Highland is both challenging an enjoyable, and the two additional tee locations allow even more access to players of all skill levels.

Carmel Highland also offers a great practice facility, as well as a short game course and putting green, all prime examples of the added benefits of a round at the resort. So stick around and fine-tune your game — perhaps even arrange a lesson with a member of Carmel Highland's professional teaching staff — it may go far in your quest to lower your handicap.
