[edit] Recreation

  • Several Golf Courses in the San Diego area can be recognized as children-friendly. The first course is the University City Golf Course. It's located off Interstate 805, at the Governor Drive exit (6301 Gullstrand Street, San Diego, CA 92122). It features 9 holes, and its par is 27. Most holes are about 100 yards long or less, except one "monster" hole, the 6th, which measures 140 yards. The greens are slow and grainy, so they are not comparable to other fancier courses, but they are still fun. The 9th green is located far away from the clubhouse, so to get back you can either walk off the course onto the street and back, or you can walk the course backwards, being watchful for errant shots from other players, until you are back to the first tee.
  • Standley Recreation Center is 21.75 acre site acquired in 1974 and dedicated in 1978. It is located at 3585 Governor Drive, San Diego, CA 92122.
