CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 16, 2015) – Just as in the early days of Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, when its celebrity golf regulars would put together a few foursomes for their legendary “lunch tournaments,” golfers can do the same again today.
But you don’t have to be one of the biggest names in the entertainment world – as the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Desi Arnaz were back in the 1960s – to book the Tournament & Lunch Package at Omni La Costa, available in April only.
The iconic golf destination, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015, invites golfers to get a group of 12 or more players together for a day on one of Omni La Costa’s two recently renovated championship golf courses for a special rate of $125 per player. If the group is 20 players or more, the group coordinator – it was probably Bing in those early days – plays for free. Also, a special guestroom rate is available for the group (minimum 10 rooms per night).
Through the years, Omni La Costa has continued to be a favorite retreat for celebrities, many who have played the same fairways and greens as those who were members a generation before. The “VIP List” at La Costa continues to include award-winning actors (Robert DeNiro, Tom Selleck, Steve Carell), pop culture icons (Oprah, Kim Kardashian), entertainers (Fergie, Dave Grohl, Brittney Spears) and sports superstars (Pete Sampras, Jerry Rice, Marcus Allen, Tiger Woods).
A GOLF Magazine Gold Medal Golf Resort, Omni La Costa offers 36 holes of championship-caliber golf on two newly renovated layouts, where golfers will enjoy two distinct playing experiences.
The Champions Course (renovated in 2011) is a combination of tour-quality challenges and straightforward playability, while the more spacious Legends Course (renovated in 2013) offers contrasting visuals and subtle nuances around the greens. The Champions Course has been ranked among California’s “Best Courses You Can Play” by Golfweek magazine.
Part of the Omni Hotels & Resorts collection of 12 golf destination resorts from coast to coast, Omni La Costa also has been home for 40 years to the legends of the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour. And in 2014 it hosted the prestigious California State Amateur Championship, adding to its impressive resume.
The Tournament & Lunch Package includes:
• 18 holes of golf
• Shared Cart
• Use of practice facilities
• Bag handling and tournament scoring
• Deli sandwich and chips
• Domestic beer or fountain drink
