Anaheim, California
Overview ()
-
About AnaheimAnaheim, California has a pretty obvious theme parks, that is. Theme parks. And Anaheim has some of the best in the world: from Knott's Berry Farm, to LEGOLAND California, to nearby Universal Studios Hollywood to Disneyland. Yes, when you are home to the "Happiest Place on Earth," and you can still offer visitors some tough choices, you are doing something right. That's not to mention the options for sports fans, such as Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball and loads of great golf.
Don't let the nine-hole play fool you, the Links at Terranea at Terranea Resort in nearby Rancho Palos Verdes is one of the nation's top-rated par-3 courses. The only bad part is you'll want more than nine holes. Also, don't miss Arthur Hills' generous Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda; the 54 holes by Tom Fazio spread over three courses at Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach, including the redesigned South Course; the challenging San Juan Hills Golf Club in San Juan Capistrano; and the picturesque Talega Golf Club, laid out on a piece of land just three miles from the Pacific Ocean in San Clemente.
