Everybody has a humble municipal course like this at home, with a bare-bones 1940s clubhouse where old guys hold down lunch counter stools for hours after the game--and players take a few more mulligans than they would elsewhere. Surrounded by the beauty of Balboa Park, this 18-hole course features mature, full trees; fairways sprinkled with eucalyptus leaves; and distractingly nice views of the San Diego skyline. It's so convenient and affordable that it's the perfect choice for visitors who want to work some golf into their vacation rather than the other way around. The course even rents clubs. Nonresident greens fees are $32 weekdays, $37 weekends; cart rental is $20, pull carts $5. Reservations are suggested at least a week in advance.
