Golf Tournament and Awards Lunch at the Coronado Golf Course

NOTE NEW TIME FOR THIS EVENT!

The Coronado Golf Course is one of the City of Coronado’s most treasured assets. Opened in 1957, it is rated as one of the best public golf courses in the nation. It is a favorite destination for local residents and celebrities alike.

The scramble format lets foursomes compete for team and individual prizes. Celebrate the winners and network with your fellow golfers during the Awards Lunch hosted at the Club House following the tournament.

Tournament fee of $250 includes greens fee and cart, transportation, buffet lunch, and a hosted beverage cart.

Rental clubs are available at a pre-order rate of $70. There will be limited club rentals onsite. To ensure availability it is recommended to order rental clubs with your golf registration no later than January 3, 2024.

Adventuress Catamaran Tour

Step out of the hotel onto the private catamaran Adventuress and enjoy the fresh ocean breeze as the catamaran sails the San Diego Bay. While sailing the bay attendees will see the rugged cliffs and historic lighthouses of Point Loma, the stunning skyline of Downtown, the charming Seaport Village, historic ships at the Maritime Museum, our stunning Coronado Bridge and the famous Hotel Del Coronado. And of course, keep your eyes out for our local marine life: sea lions, dolphins and occasionally a whale.

The tour includes a box lunch and beverages. Box lunch option must be selected with your registration. 

$240 per person
