    Bates Nut Farm is a family-owned, 100-acre working farm nestled in the scenic hills of Valley Center, California — about 40 miles north of San Diego. Founded in 1921 when Gilbert and Beatrice Bates established Walnut Slope Ranch, the property has been operated by the same family for more than a century and today welcomes visitors year-round to its country store, farm zoo, picnic areas, and boutique. The farm's outdoor grounds serve as a distinctive backdrop for private events, including weddings, corporate gatherings, birthday celebrations, fundraisers, family reunions, and picnics. The ceremony area is shaded by rows of mature mulberry trees, while the adjacent garden stage area — framed by lush green hedges and flowering plants — accommodates receptions and larger gatherings. Events are not booked mid-September through October, when the farm transitions to its annual pumpkin patch season. Situated on a working agricultural property with more than a century of history, Bates Nut Farm offers an outdoor event setting that is uncommon in the greater San Diego region.

The building's architecture, artwork, sculptures, alcoves, gardens, and fountains were all restored during the three-year makeover. The venue's authenticity is enhanced by over two dozen original, hand-painted wooden stencil designs on doors, as well as the elaborate hand stenciled ceilings and beams. The "Women of Tehuantepec" sculpture by Donal Hord is still on display in the renovated central courtyard's fountain. The Prado at Balboa Park has beautiful historical gardens and a courtyard, as well as elegant banquet halls, romantic terraces, and the ancient Casa Del Rey Moro Gardens' outdoor magnificence. More than 22,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space are available in the Prado at Balboa Park. The location is ideal for weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions.

    An inn evoking the essence of 16th century England's west country welcomes you on your romantic retreat over the hills to the seaside. The welcoming Pelican Inn is located at Muir Beach, about 20 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, in the sea-blown fog, among the pines and alders, honeysuckle and jasmine... Between the coast, Muir Woods, and the Northern California National Recreational Area parks, there's a lodging retreat. The Pelican welcomes you to enjoy the company of its Tudor bar, country cooking, overnight accomodation, or a carefree feasting and relaxation vacation. The name Pelican comes from Sir Francis Drake's 70-foot eighteen-gun sailor, afterwards renamed the Golden Hinde, which set sail from Plymouth, England, in November 1577 with the help and encouragement of Queen Elizabeth I to fight the Spanish power under Phillip II. Surely, Drake's epic trip, which made him the first captain to survive a round of the globe, has less to do with the appeal of the "Pelican" as a symbol of haven for wayfarers than England's ancient tradition of coastal inns. The Pelican is more than just a taste of olde England; it's also a fantastic location for weddings, meetings, banquets, Sunday brunch, or simply a place to unwind and chew the fat. Upon request, feasts lasting the entire day or evening are available for your special occasion. The rough-hewn beams glowed with firelight. The sound of a dinner bell heralds the start of a night of feasting and revelry. In the Pelican Inn, remove after remove—ale, music, and good cheer—create a feeling of being transported to another time and place.

  • Featured photo from California Golf Club

    California Golf Club

    San Francisco, CA, USA

    The California Golf Club of San Francisco, more commonly referred to as "Cal Club," was established in 1918. Its first location was in Ingleside, which is situated to the south-west of San Francisco, on land that was leased from the Spring Valley Water Company. The water company was unable to provide the club with a long-term lease, so in 1924, the club purchased approximately 425 acres of land further down the Peninsula. The land was originally a part of Baden Farm, and because of its undulating hills, wooded terrain, and stunning vistas of the bay, it was a natural choice for the location of a championship golf course. Willie Locke and A. Vernon Macan were brought on board by the members to assist in the design of the initial routing, which was first implemented on May 26th, 1926. After some time had passed, Alister MacKenzie would come back and redesign the bunkers as well as at least two of the greens, just before he began working at Cypress Point Club. Kyle Phillips spent 2007 and 2008 bringing the golf course back to the design and grandeur it had during its "golden age." The restoration work done by Kyle Phillips required the use of fine fescue grass, and the playing conditions on the course are unmatched anywhere else in Northern California due to their speed and firmness. It is a private club, but the California Golf Club of San Francisco can be found there.
