Challenging, Tight Course.

Course was in good condition and greens rolled fairly true. Keep the ball in the fairway to avoid awkward second shots. Challenging course due to narrow fairways.

Fairways sparse grass at times.

Greens were beat up from others not repairing ballmarks but still rolled well.

Worth the Drive

Fairways were in excellent shape. Greens held shots very well and were still fast. Please repair your ball marks and at least two others on these very receptive greens.

Bucket List Course

Being able to play a Dye designed course that the pro's play was incredible. Course is forgiving to golfers that can shape their shots around obstacles. Greens rolled true and consistent. Shot 89 from the whites with about a 17-18 handicap.

Course Closes in 10 Days

Played it one time before it closes. Could tell that watering was extremely limited. Fairways were starting to turn brown and greens were very fast and did not hold shots very well.

Friendly staff, nice fairways, slow greens.

Teed off at 12:15 and couldn't finish before dark at 5:15. Greens were a little slow and need to be rolled to smooth out. It was a fun course. Back nine a little more challenging and 400 hundred yards longer than front nine.

Greens still recovering but still rolled true.

3rd hole still needs to be fixed from winter flooding and encountered some bare spots. Pace of play right about 4 hours. Hopefully 3rd hole is repaired soon.

Fast Greens in Rainy Conditions

Wet, drizzly day. Course drained well and greens remained in great condition. Carts were well equipped to play in rain. Cover provided to keep clubs and bag dry. Haven't seen that at any other course in San Diego area.

Great Greens and beautiful waterfall on #16!

Greens were fast and firm and were also able to hold a shot. A lot of fairway undulations made for interesting lies.

Greens rolled well and fairways are cut close in some areas.

Golf course was in good shape. Testing course with elevation changes and serpentine greens. Fun to play and well worth the GolfNow price.

Great Winter Conditions!

Winter conditions framed the green fairways. Greens have subtle breaks and are very fast adding to the enjoyment and challenge. Dramatically elevated tees on Canyon nine make for exciting tee shots and excellent views of San Diego County. Ranch nine winds through an actual ranch. Look out for wandering cattle near some of the cart paths. Overall, a very enjoyable day on the course.

Nice layout with 4 sets of tees to choose from.

Course was going through maintenance phase. Greens were recently punched but still rolled fairly well. Parts of course were wet due to overseeding. Should rebound nicely in a couple of weeks.
