Learn to Play at Spindrift Golf Course

Located within the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, the Spindrift Golf Course offers a scenic and challenging layout for players of all levels. Carved out of the beautiful coastal terrain of La Jolla, the 9-hole, Par-3 course is ideal for new golfers to learn the sport and for seasoned golfers to work on their short game and shoot under par.

The beautiful course features 1,362 yards of golf from the longest tees, with short holes that range from 57 to 84 yards, tree-lined fairways, small, slanted greens, and sand bunkers so you get great practice with your wedges and putter. The private course also features putting and practice areas and a pro shop open to hotel guests and members.

Sign-ups are now open for our summer junior golf camps! Offered Monday through Thursday during select weeks, kids will have the opportunity to learn from our Golf Professional, Jacqui McSorley.
