The Ranch course winds through a working ranch and the Vineyard course stretches along the valley floor. Gary always adds unique south African trees to the landscape. http://www.steelecanyon.com - The Journey at Pechanga –Golfweek ranking The Journey #25th Best Public Course in California.

- La Costa Golf Resort & Spa is in the Omni Resort group. There are legendary stories from the beginning of the resort being built as a retreat for the family. Legendary players have all played here. There are two courses, the Champions Course and the Legends Course which must contribute to the great pace of play. The course winds through condo developments and homes but does not detract from your game. Elevated greens and water come into play. Locals love this course, it has so much history and character. There is a stay and play offer which may be very interesting. http://www.lacostaresort.com
