Needed a last-minute tee time, and San Diego Golf Reservations pulled through. Worked with Steve who helped with the process and made it really easy. Ended up playing at a different course than planned, but it was just as good. Can’t wait to use them again on my next trip to San Diego! Thank you Steve!

Played the south course. The course itself was in good condition and the greens were soft, yet rolling fast. Beautiful weather conditions and the parasailors were taking advantage of it. The entire golf staff made you feel quite at home. Over all a great day for golfing.

Excellent hotel, Hilton La Jolla, Torrey Pines. Although the hotel is a bit dated, the staff are what makes it fantastic. I played the south course at Torrey Pines and it was tough but very enjoyable. A pity that the greens had just been aerated and there was a lot of sand on them too. The same with the tees.

Chris did a fantastic job helping us book multiple tee times for our trip to San Diego. He made sure we had the exact times we wanted on our desired courses. I don’t know the last time I had such great customer service. His knowledge of the city and the courses available was great! Such a great experience.

Do not use this company. I bought a gift certificate online and never received it. I’ve tried calling twice and emailing 3 times and they have never responded.

Spencer could not have been more helpful accommodating our group all the way from Australia. He made it so easy for us to book tee times onto the South course at Torrey Pines, we can’t wait. Great guy, thanks mate!!
