The Crossings at Carlsbad

Carlsbad, CA

The Crossings at Carlsbad is Carlsbad, California's municipal golf course, opened in August 2007 and designed by architect Greg Nash. The 18-hole layout sits on more than 400 acres along the city's coastal terrain, with roughly 200 acres set aside as habitat preserve alongside the golf grounds. The course takes its name from five bridges built into the routing to navigate the site's canyons and topography, and offers five sets of tees across its 6,835-yard, par-72 layout. Ocean views extend across parts of the front and back nines as the course moves between coastal foothills and preserved open space. Open to the public, the facility includes a large clubhouse with restaurant and event space, a practice center with driving range and putting green, and a cart path system covering about seven miles. It is operated as a city golf course with resident and public rate tiers.
