If you watched any of the men’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines on TV this year, you likely heard umpteen times that Torrey Pines is a municipal golf course that’s often flocked with weekend hackers. Yeah, it’s a man’s dream to play a U.S. Open venue and yeah, he can do so here with some careful advanced booking. But Torrey Pines has something for the ladies too; in fact, it has a lot for the ladies.

In addition to its two beautiful oceanside golf courses in lovely La Jolla, Calif., Torrey Pines boasts the elegant, yet rustic Lodge at Torrey Pines, a 170-guest room homage to the California Craftsman style of the early 20th century. The lodge was built without a nail; instead dowels and tongue and groove construction was used. As the San Diego area’s only Five Diamond-rated hotel, the Torrey Pines Lodge has everything one needs for a memorable holiday: a 9,500-square foot spa with a plethora of treatment rooms for massages, facials, rituals, wraps, hydrotherapy and hand and foot treatments; an exercise facility complete with classes such as Yoga, Pilates and T’ai Chi; and the signature A.R. Valentien restaurant, which cooks up fare from local farmers with weekly Artisan Table dinners.

Away from the Lodge, tourists can explore La Jolla by the Sea, a coastal community with fine-dining restaurants, unique boutiques and soft sand beaches. And all of this in yearly temperatures of 20-27 C. What more could you want?
