California golf spas: From Pebble Beach to Palm Springs, the Golden State has it all
Few states know how to treat the demanding golfer quite like California. From San Diego all the way up to Los Angeles, golfers will find not only world-class golf courses but also charming towns, beaches, rocking nightlife and even mountain terrain - so you'll have no problem staying busy on a California golf vacation.
Obviously, the paragon of California golf is Pebble Beach Resort & Spa on the stunning Monterey Peninsula. The club has four world-class layouts, including, of course, the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links. Oh, and did we mention the 22,000-square-foot spa, offering massages, body scrubs, wraps, hair care and other pampering treatments?
Located just north of San Diego, in Carlsbad, is La Costa Resort & Spa. The resort's North and South courses have been host to the PGA Tour for 40 years. Both are beautiful, challenging golf experiences - so challenging that after your round you'll probably need to hit up the Jacuzzi or steam room at the spa, if not splurge on a full-body massage.
And what would a California golf trip be without a visit to Palm Springs, playground to the stars? Palm Springs' Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa is fresh from a $35 million makeover, and it's never looked better. It has a splendid Ted Robinson-designed course and a spa offering massages, facials and other treatments.
Whether you're looking for scenery, luxury pampering, a bit of bling or all three on your next golf trip, California won't disappoint.
