Originally designed by Jack Daray, Coronado Municipal Golf Course opened to play in 1957. The original 18 hole layout extended to a bit over 6100 yards with a par of 75. The construction of the Coronado Bridge in 1966 took some land from the course and Jack Daray Jr redesigned the first nine holes to their current configuration. In 1997, when a new clubhouse was built, the 9th and 18th holes were further modified to their present shape by Daray Jr and Stephen Halsey, extending the layout to 6,590 yards from the tips.
Locally referred to as “Nado,” Coronado Municipal Golf Course is a must play for golfers of all levels. If you are in the San Diego area and have an opportunity to play this course, spare some time for this gem of a muni. Don’t forget to bring a camera.
