with Robert Stock

ItineraryDay 1 Thursday 26 April 2018 DepartureWe depart Australia today on our flight to San Francisco. We arrive the same day as we depart because we cross the International Date Line. The group will meet Robert Stock on arrival, followed by a sightseeing tour of San Francisco with a local guide. We will see Grant Avenue, the main street of Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf, one of San Francisco’s most popular tourist attractions. It is a colourful array of piers, docks for the fishing fleet and restaurants. We will see Nob Hill and Russian Hill, where we will get a marvellous view of San Francisco.

Day 2 Friday 27 April 2018 San FranciscoToday we play Pasatiempo Golf Club, designed by world-renowned golf architect Alister MacKenzie. Even though MacKenzie also designed Augusta National and Cypress Point, Pasatiempo was his favourite

layout and where he made his American home. Pasatiempo delivers a memorable golf experience; it is truly one of the finest championship golf courses in the world.

Day 3 Saturday 28 April 2018 San FranciscoToday we will play TPC Harding Park. Set against the cypress tree-lined Lake Merced, TPC Harding Park features towering Monterey Pines, soft bunkers and graceful undulating fairways. A favoured PGA tour venue, winners here include Tiger Woods and Rory Mcllroy. It will be the USPGA venue in 2020, while the course has hosted The President’s Cup in 2009 and will again in 2025.

Day 7 Wednesday 2 May 2018 Los Angeles (Long Beach)Today we play at Pelican Hill Golf Club. Celebrating 25 years of majestic California sunsets and unforgettable rounds, Pelican Hill Golf Club is a world-class experience that you have to play to believe.

The golf course is not only one of the finest courses in Las Vegas, it is also an engineering marvel. It is a “non-desert” course built in the middle of the desert!

Golf Digest rated Shadow Creek #73 in The World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses.

This is one golfing experience that will remain with you for a lifetime.
