Steele Canyon Golf Club ($195)

One of San Diego's finest golf clubs, Steele Canyon is a 27-hole championship course designed by Gary Player, one of the sport’s greatest golfers.

As a recipient of Golf Digest's prestigious 4-½ Star Award, Steele Canyon Golf Club has been nationally recognized as one of Southern California's best publicly accessible golf courses.

The $195 registration fee includes round-trip transportation for an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start, practice range balls, golf cart with GPS, and a voucher to use in the pro shop or snack bar. The last day to register for golf is Monday, February 11.
