The quickest / easiest way to travel to the course is to fly directly into San Diego Airport.

Transport from SAN DIEGO AIRPORT TO THE DANA

The simplest and most cost effective way to get to The DANA from the San Diego airport is with UBER. It’s 4.8 miles.

There is FREE WIFI at the airport that you can use to order a car.
The rates vary from $10 - $20 depending upon which size you choose.
Our suggestion would be to hire an UBER XL and share the ride with several friends.

If you do not have an UBER app, you can download at the app store. We suggest setting this up prior to coming so that you have it ready to go.

If you do not have a way to utilize UBER, then we suggest finding friends that do and sharing. You can also simply take a taxi and share with a friend.
