Aside from well-appointed rooms and beautiful scenery, Indian Springs has an Olympic-size swimming pool heated by natural springs.

Just around the corner from Calistoga is St. Helena and the OG Gott's Roadside restaurant. I love going here. The burgers and fries are awesome. The menu is very accommodating to those who don't want a burger, and eating there makes you feel like you're taking a step back in time when things were simpler and perhaps more fun.

Let's be clear, the River Electric is glamping. These are not permanent structures, but the scene here is great. Beautiful people, rambunctuous families, and (if you heed my advice) golf junkies just waiting to tee it up at Northwood.

Dip your toes into the fully Bohemian, Northern California vibe at Lightwave Coffee. The place feels like equal parts hippy commune and cozy coffee shop. I personally recommend an Avo & Egg bagel, a cortado, and be sure to keep an eye open for the cinnamon roll.

If you're heading back from Guerneville to SF, Sonoma is a little out of the way. But if you have the time, be sure to make a detour and grab a bite from El Molino Central. The modest exterior is hiding some of the best Mexican food you'll likely ever eat.

Mexican food not your thing? Swap out El Molino Central for a smashburger from Valley Swim Club. Note: There isn't an actual pool at Valley Swim Club, so keep your trunks in the trunk.

One of the best breweries in the Bay Area, stop in after you round at Northwood for a refreshing brew and a tasty bite.

I'm beginning to realize that Presidio might just be the best part of San Francisco. The Inn at the Presidio is a wonderful place to stay and is a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

It's vacation! Live a little. Start your day off right with an Irish Coffee from the Buena Vista. As Jimmy Buffett would say, "It's five o'clock somewhere."

If the Inn at the Presidio is my preferred option when staying in SF, then Cavallo Point is option 1B. Similar to the Presidio, Cavallo Point is a former military base that has been transitioned into a world-class resort.

If old-school San Francisco is more your scene, check the Fairmont. While you're there, be sure to grab a cocktail or two from the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, which is located on the bottom floor of the hotel. It's a vibe.

Tired from trudging up and down the hills at Presidio? Kick back and relax in the spacious confines of Dalida. Chefs Laura and Sayat (who are better people than they are chefs) will dazzle you with an array of Eastern Mediterranean dishes that will have you questioning whether you should eat there two nights in a row.

If Dalida is a little too fancy for your liking, head on over to Burma Superstar for an unforgettable experience. Tea Leaf Salad, Sesame Tofu, Platha and Dip, and Burmese Curry with Lamb are just a few of the can't-miss items.

I'm going to go ahead and get out over my skis here. The Coffee Movement is easily a top-five coffee shop in the United States. You'll have to brave a line of hipsters with ratty-looking shoes that cost more than your entire golf bag (clubs included), but the payoff is worth the wait. Order the cocoa cappuccino and enjoy every sip.

How could you consider a Bay Area golf guide complete without mentioning the burgerdog?  Hot Dog Bill's has a small outpost inside the clubhouse at Golden Gate Park GC.  Grab a burgerdog and a drink after your round, post up on the patio, and watch shots into the 5th green.

Before or after your round at Golden Gate Park, head over to Hookfish for some of the best seafood you'll find in the Bay Area. My favorites are the fish and chips, the fish burrito (be sure to get extra hot sauce!), and fresh oysters.

If seafood isn't your thing, skip Hookfish and grab a hoagie and a glass (or three) of natural wine at the Outer Sunset's coolest wine bar.

Sometimes I'm a little slow to pick up on things, like how it took me over two years to realize that former public school teachers and woodworking specialists might name a place the Butterfly Joint in homage of the woodworking technique and not the actual butterflies. What I was not slow to pick up on was how Danny and Erin run one of the best neighborhood coffee shops in the city. Their coffee is top-notch, and if you go there more than once, they're likely to remember your name and drink order. Pro tip: They sell fresh doughnuts on Friday morning.

The best bagels in town in the morning, Detroit-style pizzas at night, and smashburgers on Wednesday night. If you're not sold after that preamble I don't know what else to say other than the vibes are off the charts and the music is always pumping great tunes from the record player behind the bar.

I'm hesitant to send tourists down Market Street, so please beware that parking can be a nightmare and you can get caught on one-way streets with weird no-turn laws. With that being said, stop here as you make your way over to the East Bay and grab a bag of the most preciously wrapped, perfectly made Japanese confectioneries you can find on the West Coast.

Specializing in natural wines from Italy, Biondivino is simply a vibe too cool to miss. Grab a bottle of wine and bring it back to your hotel room to cap a perfect evening.

Easily one of SF's coolest shops. Grab a sandwich, bag of chips, and an artisanal soda on your way to or from the course.

San Francisco's best ice cream. There are three absolute must-try items on the menu. Banana puddin' ice cream, coconut milk dark chocolate almond (vegan) ice cream, and the waffle cone.

Tucked away in Portero Hill, Farley's Coffeehouse oozes with quintessential SF quirky vibes. The place delivers on substance but also has a bit of fun and frill that you won't find at many other places across the country. I mean its located in an aggressively red Victorian for goodness sake! Thanks to Kira for insider tip on this gem. Grab a cup of coffee before you hop on the highway and head south.

Full disclosure: I grew up in Oklahoma and Texas and, in my opinion. BBQ doesn't get much better than Texas-style. Horn BBQ has become a mecca for smoked meat junkies. Get there early as lines can be long.

Chef Alice Waters pretty much started it all! Chez Panisse is an institution. Farm to table, California cuisine, I'm not exactly sure what to call it other than charming and delicious. Be sure to make a reservation after a fun round at Poppy Ridge.

I'm not sure what else needs to be said about a Ritz-Carlton but the one at Half Moon Bay does not disappoint. If you have a few extra nickels in your pocket, treat yourself to a night or two.

This might be my single-favorite place in this guide. Ever wonder what a Michelin-star chef would do if they quit the fine dining scene and opened up shop in an abandoned train car? Go to Half Moon Bay to find the answer!

Stop here before you head over to Pasatiempo and pray to whatever deity you see fit that you'll snag more birdies than three-putts on MacKenzie's treacherous greens.

Another wonderful break from golf is a quick stroll on the Main Parade Lawn in the Presidio. The Presidio is quickly becoming my favorite place to spend time in the city. The views are awesome, the vibe is chill, and it really showcases the best of what life in San Francisco can be.

If you'd like to have a quick moment away from golf I would recommend a quick stroll at Lands End Trail. Park in the Sutro Baths parking lot, take a gander at the ruins of the baths and then hug the coast for epic views.
