Nice track

There was a couple hour frost delay the day we played but the pro (Tim?) was great at getting us out asap. Unfortunately, because of a lot of rain lately it was 'cart path only' which is always a pain, but the course was still in good condition, especially the greens, which were faster than we're used to. Interesting layout with some elevation changes and a few dog-legs & ponds/creeks to contend with. Pretty forgiving overall as I ended with the same ball I started with, and I don't hit it that straight, lol. Would recommend...

What Happened?

Wow, i haven’t played here couple of times but not for at least 6 months. It was in terrible shape, the fairways were dead and painted green. I was super disappointed in the conditions. The greens were still good and tough. I think there are better deals than San Vincente right now.

If you like painted grass this is for you.

What a disappointment I have played here before and it was in better shape. Fairways were painted dead grass, terrible. The greens were ok lighting quick down hill putts, slow uphill putts. Paid $99.00 there are better courses for that. Cottonwood and Singing Hills both better shape. I won’t be back for a while.

A Wonderful Course in Mountains Near San Diego

I was in La Jolla on vacation and I got snowed in (my flights back to Buffalo, NY were postponed for a few days due to weather back East) so I played an extra round of golf while in California. I am happy that I chose to play that round at San Vincente. The course was in great off-season shape with solid fairways and quick but true greens. The layout is challenging but fun and the pace of play was fantastic (3 hours and 25 minutes).

I highly recommend this course and will play here again every time I visit the area!

Good to visit an old hangout

I lived in Ramona for 20 years.
My son played San Vicente for high school team.
Winter is hard on fairways but they were acceptable
The greens were something special. Quick and tough to read. One member of our Group was Champions Tour graduate. He thought it was agreat track.
Ecpect a few 3 puts. Hard to read first time around.
Over all best experience at this course I have ever had.
Momey well spent

Highly Disappointed!

I have played here before and was always top of my list, but today...What a disappointment.
The fairways are roached, especially 17.
No grass, you have to hit off patchy dirt throughout the course. Dead grass everywhere.
On the up side, the tee boxes & greens were in good shape.
Not worth $100+!
I hope they over seed quick and get this right as the layout is great...

Fun layout and challenging

Was my first time to San Vincente yesterday, beautiful course, layout and challenging fast greens. The whole Bermuda course was cut really short so they have the fairways painted. You can putt off the green in some cases, wouldn’t really say there is any rough on the whole course. Purposeful put obstacles, what made it fun. I’d like to go back in spring/summertime when the grass grows back and is more plush. No dirt patches in fairways just cut really short
