More information about La Costa Resport and Spa

Experience Southern California's Original Destination for Mind, Body + Sport: La Costa Resort and Spa, nestled in the coastal foothills of north San Diego. Named #1 Wellness Resort in the Nation by Spa Magazine and a Gold Medal Resort by GOLF Magazine, La Costa offers a memorable vacation experience. The resort's rich golf history, featuring four decades of PGA TOUR events, comes alive today with the all new Champions Course. Home to the PGA Tour's Tournament of Champions for 40 years. Favored by celebrities and sports figures such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Desi Arnaz, Clint Eastwood, Micky Mantle, Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath.

Champions Course Description: Follow in the footsteps of legends at the historic home of 37 PGA events, steeped in history, and favored by celebrities and prominent sports figures. La Costa's tee sheets read like a who's who: Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and many more. The recent recipient of a $10 million redesign, the Champions Course has now been rebuilt for the modern player. Adding a handicap to the already ambitious course are redesigned bunkers- now stacked, staggered and strategically placed throughout each hole.

South Course Description: The South Course at La Costa is a truly classic design that requires precise shot making and features small, well-guarded greens. The four tee placements allow players of all skill levels to select those best suiting their game and ensure a most enjoyable experience. Subtle changes to fairway contours have created a much enhanced drainage system and several bunkers have been reshaped and positioned to create a new look and feel, all while retaining the core elements of architect Dick Wilson's original design.
