Perhaps the nicest public course we have played. The facilities are beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. The value for a Hot Deal far surpasses every other SoCal course we've played. At the regular rate, it's still worth playing here. The course is well maintained and while other courses in the area have a lot of dry patches, there's very little of that here. It's very scenic with views of the canyons, the ocean and some planes taking off from the Carlsbad Airport. The course covers a large geography and is well marked to get you to the next hole. It's definitely a cart only course, but carts are included. There is one blind tee shot, but there's a person on the course to tell you where to play the ball and also to let you know when you are clear to hit. The greens are large and often teired, but rolling nicely. They break a little less than you think. There are some protected habitat areas that must be carried, so it's probably wise to carry a few extra balls. Currently, range balls are hit off of mats - not my favorite, but usually needed at times. Overall, we enjoyed the course so much, we rebooked it for our next round this week, rather than trying another area course.

We got a great value price to play this course from Golf Now, but we were a little unsure if this would be one and done. The course was really very enjoyable. So much so, that we booked another tee time during our stay. The course was in very good condition. They are experimenting with another type of grass on two greens, which impacted the looks, but not the condition. There are amazing views of the Haupu and Hoary Head Mountain Ranges from every hole. The pro shop and dining are basically in trailers, so the first impression is a little under-impressive, but the course made up for that first impression. This was a very good find and we will add it to our play list for future trips.
