Orange County, California is nearly 800 square land miles of prime California real estate, known around the world over for surf, sand, sunny skies and high-end daily fee golf courses. You really can’t go wrong when it comes to Southern California golf, but here are two must play tracks if you're in Orange County. Plus, you'll have a hard time beating the rates available to Forelinx members.
1. Monarch Beach Golf Links
Located in Dana Point, California, Monarch Beach Golf Links is perched on a golden hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and provides a golf experience that exudes a classically Southern Californian vibe. All but a handful of holes grant the player exhilarating views of the ocean and, south of Monterey, perhaps only Torrey Pines and Sandpiper better connect the golfer to the sea.
Monarch Beach provides its players a healthy cocktail of ingredients that are good for the golfer’s soul. The ocean views can’t help but put a smile on your face for most of the way around the property, but the golf course itself provides a thorough examination that should stimulate players of all kinds.
2. Strawberry Farms Golf Club
Located in Irvine, California, Strawberry Farms offers a par-71, 6,700 yard course is set amid canyons and wetlands. This 18-hole course offers picturesque vistas across the 35-acre reservoir, large rolling greens surrounded by wildlife and natural vegetation and scenic hills studded with granite boulders and natural waterfalls. Developed by Doug DeCinces, former Los Angeles Angel third baseman. Strawberry Farms Golf Club is sure to provide golfers with the finest customer experience and championship caliber golf.
