Golf Academy Coming To Carlsbad

by The Editors on August 7, 2007

Vista’s San Diego Golf Academy would like to move in to an office building on Camino Vida Roble near Palomar Airport Rd, however, Carlsbad’s zoning does not allow “schools” near the airport because of safety concerns. Academy director Richard Iorio will go before Carlsbad’s City Council to get permission.

. . . the city’s Planning Department is recommending that the council approve the academy’s proposal because the academy’s students are adults and the graduates often take jobs with some of the big golf manufacturing companies. . .

The academy could help pay for The Crossings-at-Carlsbad. According to the North County Times students book “nearly 20,000 rounds of golf a year on local courses and purchase more than 40,000 buckets of balls at practice facilities.”
