Encinitas Ranch Golf Course
Played On 11/14/2013Highly Enjoyable
I play a lot of great courses when I travel and I was tempted to play Aviara just up the road. However, I tried this course instead and had a great day (and paid a lot less). The weather was perfect. I thought the course seemed moderate to even a bit on the easy side, which was fine with me; overall the course was in really good shape, especially the greens. The interplay of canyon with the course design and the views were really great--even awesome. It's not an ocean course, but close enough to see the ocean. Its only about ten years old, so the trees are not mature, but this was a nice course!
Sand Canyon Country Club
Played On 10/15/2013Nice Course Overall--Mountain
This was enjoyable and good course to play, as it was really well set up. Lots of bunkers that were tough to get out of, plus it was very windy making club selection difficult ( I was told the wind blows a lot up there). Both made a relatively short course pretty tough, but fair. The fairways were tight visually, but most were contoured to funnel off line drives back in. OB was impossible to get out of with scrubland, so it paid to hit it straight. The greens had been punched a couple of weeks before I played, so I couldn't evaluate them. But, it was tough to read breaks and speed.
