MISSION BAY GOLF COURSE AND PRACTICE CENTER

The Pacific breeze off Mission Bay transforms what could be another flat San Diego municipal into a legitimate test of wind management and course strategy. Rose Creek meanders through six holes, demanding precise iron play on approaches where a pulled shot finds water and pushed shots kick into native scrub. Executive-length at 6,200 yards, this Dye-designed layout rewards golfers who can work the ball both ways while punishing those who simply grip and rip into the prevailing coastal winds.
