Best Journey Time
California's climate varies greatly from region to region. Along the central Pacific coast, the maritime climate is characterized by mild temperatures and low temperature fluctuations. In the Sierra Nevada, the weather is very different: Temperatures are often very high in summer, while there is plenty of snow in winter - ideal conditions for winter sports too. In contrast, hot days and cool nights await you all year round in the desert regions of California, such as the Mojave Desert.
The months of May to October are recommended if you want to book your golf vacation cheaply. This is when the temperatures in many regions are particularly pleasant for a relaxed round of golf - and attractive last-minute offers are available.
Special Destinations
California boasts an impressive variety of sights and natural wonders. An absolute highlight is visiting the legendary film studios in Hollywood and admiring the world-famous Hollywood sign, which towers high above the hills of Los Angeles. The Californian coast with its fantastic reefs is also ideal for an unforgettable dive. With a bit of luck, you can see seals, dolphins or even whales up close.
Nature lovers will get their money's worth in California's national parks. The spectacular Yosemite National Park in particular leaves a lasting impression. It impresses with its imposing waterfalls and majestic giant sequoias. For lovers of the extreme, take a guided tour through the famous Death Valley - a fascinating desert landscape full of unique natural spectacles.
Culinary Highlights
California's restaurants receive first-class regional ingredients from the fertile soils of the San Joaquin Valley. Numerous top chefs have made a name for themselves, especially in metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego - many of them have even been awarded a Michelin star.
Be inspired by the creativity and diversity of Californian cuisine, which is appreciated worldwide for its innovative dishes. Mexican, Japanese and Korean influences in particular have been incorporated into the culinary scene and provide unique taste experiences that you should not miss out on during your trip.
Arrival & Infrastructure on Site
Almost every major city in California has a conveniently located airport, so you can plan your arrival and departure for your package vacation flexibly.
As the highway network in California is excellent, renting a car is the best way to get around - ideal for commuting between the various golf destinations. In contrast, public transport and rail services are less well developed and less suitable for round trips in many regions. Only in San Francisco is a ride on the famous cable car one of the highlights.
