Pleasant San Diego course with nice character

The North course was nice. I’ve never played there, so I didn’t know what to expect. Overall, the conditions weren’t immaculate, but it was nicely maintained. The course isn’t long or overly difficult, so it was fun to play. The greens held the ball very well, but I wish that the golfers would fix their ball marks to preserve the quality of play. The pace was good for a Saturday; it wasn’t busy at all, and my son and I got around in less than 3.5 hrs. Can’t beat it for the value!

Walked

North

Walked with Jeff, Brian and Steve twilight in 4H, 45M. POP was actually better than it sounded, we waited some but for the most part it was just busy, groups stacked up 1/2 a hole apart AD. $43 to walk mid day. Overcast with a little breeze in the 60's made for very pleasant golfing conditions.

Fun, no frills, old school golf course with ample fairways and no tricked up greens. Mostly flat with no severe elevation changes.

Tees good coverage. Decent with only a few areas needing divot attention.

Fairways had a few bare spots but were generally good.

Same for the rough, which was higher than the fairway but most places were not overly penal.

Sand Traps had fine, nice sand. Decently maintained for a busy public course.

Greens still recovering from aeration last month but generally rolled okay. Medium fast and they held more shots than not.

Quick efficient check in. Restaurant onsite had an excellent "Golfers special"... Burger, fries + drink for $9 that I would highly recommend. Only had played here once previously about 7 years ago, like the layout, fun to play. Recommended.

Pace of play ruins the day.

It would be great if the course would hire some marshals to insure that pace of play is reasonable.
Even at this time of year, someone that starts at 1:00pm should be able to finish the round. The constant notices to turn in the golf cart before dark are ridiculous.

Nice course, bad management

We recently played this course and from the moment we checked in the staff member helping us was rude and not very helpful. He discouraged us from booking on the Golf Now app. Once we finished our round we ran into the same staff member. We were late getting our carts back as we ran out of daylight and only got to play 9 holes (even though we payed the full $60). The staff including the initial person who helped us was extremely rude to us when we got back to the clubhouse. “It’s a privilege to play here” he kept saying. We asked to speak to the manager only to find out he was the manager! Overweight, white guy. Didn’t get his name but he’s the only reason we probably won’t be going back. ✌️

Very limited tee times for the public

I played this course two months ago but I couldn’t get a tee time from Golf now or Tee Off since then…. I hope they could provide more tee times for the Local residents.

A family get together and outing. Fun. All the staff were very friendly. I was hoping the course would be in better shape after the long Covid break, but it was fine. One of my favorite courses.

Staff is better than you

The staff here was zero help in any way. My dad and I placed this tee time 48 hours in advance and were excited to golf here. While placing the tee time I called to make sure they had clubs my dad could rent (I am lefty , he is not) they said of course they could accommodate. When we got here we were told we had to pay an extra $50 to rent their “elite” set because the regular clubs were out. I asked if there was any way to just get the elite clubs for the same price since I was told there would be clubs provided. The staff told me to pay $50 or don’t golf. That was the ultimatum they gave us. We decided to play elsewhere.
