Golfing on Catalina

Tucked away in scenic Avalon Canyon, the meandering Catalina Island Golf Course is a public course that feels like a private resort. Its nine challenging holes offer canyon and ocean views, and each hole has two different tee boxes in case you want to play 18. There’s also a shady putting green, popular with dads and kids. In fact, Tiger Woods played this course as a young boy. Originally a clubhouse for William Wrigley Jr.’s Chicago Cubs, who held spring training on the island from 1921 to 1951, the historic Catalina Country Club is a nice spot to enjoy views of Avalon and the Pacific Ocean.
