Cold & Windy

SoCal finally got its winter weather . It was 59% on first tee and desert winds blowing at 20-30 mph. Made getting a comfortable stance difficult and wind played havoc with shots into its face. However, played better than expected and finally pared #7 for the first time ever.

Terrible greens

Haven't played here in more than a year. Greens were terrible!!! on front side at least 5 of 9 were diseased and not puttable. balls were bumping all over the place, even from inside 10 feet.

Will NEVER come back until ownership puts some money into the greens rather than building new cement cart paths!!!!

Nice layout for riding or walking.

Play this course at least once a week, many times twice a week. Pro shop guys are great, especially Dennis Duffy.
Starters and marshals are there for help and assistance. With great weather here, my relatives in in the Northeast are jealous as all get out. Can't play much golf in 2 feet of snow and 18% above zero.
Y'all come to sunny San Diego!!!

Really enjoy this course. Play it twice a week. Usually when I play as a single I get around in 2:45 -3 hours.
Unfortunately when I catch up to the group ahead of me, I have to slow down. Cart foursomes will wave me through. Only complaint is that the "walkers" don't extend the same courtesy, even when they are all over the fairway an into the rough on an Easter Egg Hunt.. Need some "golf ethics" here.

Great Day 4 golf

Second time this week I Played @ Miramar. Great time . Really impressed with condition of greens--rolling true on a firm surface. Then I was told that they were NOT re-conditioned because the sand didn't arrive. That being the case, the greens should be left alone. Course is fine except for a few brown-outs on a couple of fairways. Need re-seeding.

Nice place to enjoy a casual round

Played with a frequent golf friend. We had no one in front of us for 10 holes. Then a twosome headed us off at #12--they just came up from behind us--and without so much as a "courtesy, can we play through," they did--and we let them go and continued our round which took us about 3:15 hours. A good time without holding anyone up or running into the group ahead.
Greens were in terrific shape, although winter over-seeding isn't going to take place for another two weeks. Nice place to play despite some players who lack the necessary golf courtesies.

Great Experience

My son Andy and I had a great day as always whenever we play at Steele Canyon. It is challenging and a lot of fun. Canyon/Ranch seems to be our favorite 18 holes.
Only negative is that there is no "on course marshal" to monitor slow players. Can't believe guys still "mark" one-footers instead of holing out.
Will be back again soon.
P.S. Management should consider adding steps to greens which don't have any right now. That would be much easier for senior players.

Course condition

I've played Ivanhoe and the Lakes courses many times during the past 30 years. Never in my life have I played on such bare bone fairways. What appears to be grass is merely a facsimile.
The greens are another matter, While grassy, they were too fast for any decent putting. Plus the greens looked like downtown Bagdad with all the ball pock marks. Is there some rule against fixing a ball mark or do these players think they nestle the ball in so gently as to not disturb the surface.
Course needs roving marshals and better course maintenance..

Nice time, fine rouind

I was paired with two very nice ladies, Karen and Darcy who were on Spring break from their duties as teachers. Very pleasant personalities who play the game very quickly and know golf courtesies. They were very good players who kept the ball in play and scored reasonably well. Had a better time with them than I did with some men. Made for a nice time and a fine round of golf for me. Would enjoy playing with them again.

Greens were excellent

Enjoyed course. Greens were excellent. Some fairways were damaged and created unplayable lies. Had a good time with playing guest. Was able to keep on pace and finished in a little over 4 hours. Will return as a weekly player.

rough needs to be cleaned up. Difficult to find balls off line with new sunlight slant and weedy rough. Takes time to hunt for a ball in "open" area.

Greens still bumpy from puncturing. More sand and water should do the trick.
Pro shop easy to check in and get started.
