About this course

La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club operates a compact nine-hole golf course situated on the coastal bluffs of La Jolla, California. The course occupies a narrow strip of land between La Jolla Shores Drive and the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the few remaining seaside golf facilities in the San Diego area. The layout dates to the early twentieth century and reflects the era when modest resort courses were built to complement beach clubs and hotels along the Southern California coast. The course plays to a par of 30 or 32 depending on configuration, with most holes measuring under 200 yards. The routing follows the natural contours of the coastal terrace, and several holes run parallel to the ocean, offering views across La Jolla Shores and the kelp beds beyond. The proximity to the water means players often contend with coastal breezes, particularly in the afternoon. The terrain is relatively flat compared to the dramatic cliffs found elsewhere in La Jolla, but the compact design requires accuracy over distance. La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club functions primarily as a private beach and tennis facility, with golf serving as an amenity for members and their guests. The course is not a championship layout and does not host competitive tournaments, but it provides a casual setting for recreational play. The club's location near the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California San Diego places it within one of the more scientifically and culturally active coastal communities in California.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via San Diego International Airport, a breezy twenty-minute drive north along the Pacific Coast Highway as it climbs into the bluffs and coves of La Jolla. The route trades urban sprawl for glimpses of azure water and hang gliders drifting above Torrey Pines, before descending into the village's sun-drenched streets. La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club sits directly on the sand at the quiet northern edge of La Jolla Shores, its low-slung, mid-century silhouette framed by palms and the endless blue horizon - an arrival that feels less like checking in and more like slipping into a private coastal enclave that has belonged to its members since 1927.
