Golf with the Pros at The Lodge at Torrey Pines

There’s only one place in the world where it’s possible to hit the hay just steps from both a world-famous botanical reserve and legendary golf course. The Lodge at Torrey Pines is perched on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific just north of San Diego in an incomparable setting: the 18th fairway of the Torrey Pines Golf Course. Home to the Buick Invitational since 1968 (and made even more famous last year when Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open in a playoff), the Torrey Pines course will now host an LPGA Tour event for the first time in 27 years (the Samsung World Championship on the South Course in September). When you stay at the luxurious Lodge, you can take advantage of a guaranteed tee time program exclusive to hotel guests. In addition, The Lodge offers a number of golf packages– including complimentary club storage & cleaning– for golf enthusiasts. Of course the coastal resort has a lot more than golf; try a pampering treatment at the spa with products incorporating marine-based extracts, and dine in style at the award-winning A.R. Valentien restaurant overlooking the 18th hole of the Torrey Pines Golf Course.
