You don’t have to play golf to enjoy The Crossings at Carlsbad. We are more than just a golf course, come visit the Canyons Restaurant, a full-service restaurant and bar located inside the beautiful clubhouse. Open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner experience personalized service, fantastic cuisine and breathtaking views either in the main dining room or our outdoor patio. This magnificent setting is available to be booked in the evenings for private events of all types and sizes from large weddings to cozy private events.

The Crossings at Carlsbad clubhouse resides at over 28,000 sq. ft. and provides spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Carlsbad unmatched in the Northern San Diego County area. As seen from Palomar Airport Road, the castle-like clubhouse was designed by Douglas Fredrikson.

You are invited to gather with family and friends while tasting the local seaside cuisine inside the Canyons restaurant.  Sample a beer at the bar while watching a game on our big screen televisions, or simply enjoy a romantic setting with a glass of wine out on the terrace or our Player’s Lounge Patio.
