Carlsbad's Newest Golf Course Prepares to Host 2011 U.S. Putting Tour Championship
The Crossings features a dramatic two-tiered putting green, which will be the venue for the seven-day USPT putting championship. In addition, the City of Carlsbad-owned course will be the host site for participants who want to combine competition in the national putting championship with rounds of recreational golf.
This public course is nestled among more than 1,000 acres of Carlsbad's coastal terrain and natural habitat. It is home to wetlands, sage brush and other plant, animal and bird life.
Named for the five bridges – or crossings – that were designed into the course to meet existing environmental and topographic conditions, The Crossings at Carlsbad also features a lighted practice center and access to The Crossings Trail, a three-mile round-trip walking path that links with the Carlsbad's extensive Trail System.
The large, contoured, two-tiered green features views of the Pacific Ocean and has ample spectator viewing areas surrounding its perimeter, which will include bleacher seating during the national putting championship.
The Crossings also offers a
28,000-square-foot clubhouse complete with a golf shop, banquet
facilities, a spacious fireplace-lit dining room, full-service kitchen
and an outdoor deck with ocean views. The Canyons restaurant, located in
the clubhouse, will serve breakfast and lunch daily.
The Crossings at Carlsbad won the Golf World's 2010 Readers' Choice Award as the #1 Public Food & Dining Facility.
