San Francisco offers a wide range of superb golf courses, from Presidio, with its fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Olympic Club – home to the 2012 US Open Championship.

Spend the afternoon exploring Golden Gate Park, hire a rowboat at Stow Lake or stop for the perfect photo opportunity by the waterfall at Strawberry Hill. In the evening, have an unforgettable Champagne dinner, followed by a show in the theatre district. Or head to Ocean Beach at sunset for a romantic meal overlooking Seal Rocks.
