SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
OCEAN VIEWS SET THE STAGE
The weather is accommodating all year round in
this slice of paradise, so that's one variable you
won't have to worry about when planning your
trip. The sun almost always joins your group
when you tee it up, so why not also include the
ocean on your golf itinerary by scheduling a tee
time at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana
Point? Fred Couples and former president Bill
Clinton once played together during a pro-am
at the course, but everyone can enjoy the
breathtaking ocean views on the Robert Trent
Jones Jr. links-style design that opened in 1983
and was renovated in 2001 before the luxury re-
sort hotel St. Regis Monarch Beach was built
along the first fairway. . . . Another must-play
course in Orange County is Tijeras Creek Golf
Club in Rancho Santa Margarita, a Ted Robin-
son design that features two distinct nines – a
challenging parkland-style front nine and a back
nine in an all-nature setting highlighted by
spectacular scenery and elevation changes.
Away from the courses, you have many enter-
tainment choices, including whale-watching
tours, Disneyland adventures, and world-class
shopping malls and restaurants.
