Sycuan Golf Resort is one of San Diego’s finest golf destinations. Sycuan Golf Resort provides two full-length courses and also has a par 3 course that will test your skill with the short irons. The courses are always in excellent conditions and will be one of the host locations for the 6th Annual Junior Masters in July. This was a great opportunity for our junior golfers to get a sense of what is to come in the summer time.
