Best San Diego Courses for 10+ Handicappers

Arrowood is a fair test for golfers of all levels. It's an 18-hole, 6,721-yard course that has several elevation changes and some narrow fairways. However, there are several holes that will not punish a player who struggles to keep the ball in the center of the fairway. This is just the kind of respite a medium- or high-handicapper needs to keep from getting frustrated in the middle of a round at a visually stunning course. Greens fees range from $59 to $110 per round in 2009.

This is an excellent day of golf for those who are still trying to improve. The 6,243-yard course does not ask golfers to bomb shot after shot down the fairway. Instead, you don't have to be long but you do have to be careful because there are water hazards and bunkers. There are a slew of clinics and teachers who give lessons. Greens fees in 2009 range from $49 to $135 per round.

The Riverwalk may be golf course of choice for those who are pressed for time. It is the closest San Diego golf course to the airport and it is also a par 72 course that does not require long tee shots. The course has several challenges, including water coming into play on 13 of its holes. Greens fees in 2009 range from $42 to $125.
