IMPORTANT FACILITY UPDATES REGARDING MISSION BAY GOLF COURSE:
Golf Course Update: (11-28-23)
Night golf is currently suspended until further notice. The driving range lights are still operational, however, under dry conditions only. As a result, the driving range and practice areas will be open for our regular business hours (weather permitting and if conditions allow).
We are working closely with our vendors to get quotes and put together an action plan. The resolution involves significant repairs and upgrades to our system which will take a considerable amount of time and investment. Our approach will be to focus on the driving range and front 9 lighting first to ensure that we will be able to operate in the evenings, regardless of the weather conditions. Once those repairs are completed, we will work on the back 9 lighting so that the entire facility will be operational and open for night play.
We apologize for the interruption in service, we know this impacts a lot of customers. Rest assured that our goal is to provide a lighting system that is sustainable and will be able to handle many more years of uninterrupted service. We will continue to provide updates as needed and appreciate your understanding.
The City of San Diego Parks & Recreation Department operates three municipal golf courses. Torrey Pines, Balboa Park and Mission Bay Golf Course and Practice Center.
