San Diego Retreat Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa Offers Online Tee-Time Booking for Golf Vacations

LA JOLLA, California (April 10, 2008) – Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, managed by Destination Hotels and Resorts, has partnered with San Diego Golf to launch a convenient new way for vacationers to book golf reservations in “real-time”. The first of its kind in San Diego, the sensory retreat, located less than two miles from the world-renown Torrey Pines Golf Course, is offering guests the ability to reserve tee-times for their golf vacations at eleven top golf courses in San Diego County, online either from home or from their guestroom.
“This new booking function compliments the already high level of service that Estancia provides to their guests,” stated Gordon MacMitchell, the La Jolla hotel’s new General Manager. “It’s a great tool that our staff can use to assist golfers already on property, reservation agents can book tee-times for customers calling in and reserving rooms, or customers can simply do it on their own through our website. It is easy and convenient.”
Guests using this new electronic golf reservation tool will not only have the capability to reserve tee times at various San Diego County golf courses, they will also have access to course information, pictures and recommendations. For more information please contact Estancia La Jolla at (858) 550-1000 or visit www.estancialajolla.com.
