Good Conditions Champion Course

Played Champions yesterday. Course in good shape now. Some sand on greens, most sand bunkers are hardpan, so the irony there. Always a pretty area to play.

No Range Balls for You...

... but we'll still take your $4! Never played this track before. Showed up 30 min early figured hit a few balls. Give the proshop $4 for a small bucket. Get to range area and the token will not work. Turn around and see about half a dozen guys walking around the range picking up balls to hit. They tell me the dispenser is broke and the golf course sold it's ball picker? Whaaat? Go out and pick up about 18 balls as well and hit a few. Run back to the 1st tee in time to get off with my group. Then find they are having a tournament for members and the pace is sloooooow. Wait on every shot etc. Ok, we all know it's the weekend, but really? This needs to be managed more effectively. Ok layout, interesting greens, fairways a little sketch, but it's Nov so will cut some slack there. Pretty sure these guys owe me $4 though...

$175! For Slow Play?!

For starters asking to share a cart at these prices is an insult and that’s what the starter asked me on the first tee. In this age of Covid19 plus at this price point that’s just nuts. Furthermore what marshal and where? I understand it’s a resort course with out of town people- still the pace was obscenely slow following a group that was at least one hole, maybe 2, behind. They need to pick up or move up. Beyond disappointed on what otherwise should have need a good day out. :-/

slow and no excuse...

...Playing during the week I would expect to get in under 4 hours. Instead felt like a Saturday round. Nice layout, conditions were great. However the pace was a deal breaker. Get marshals and get people moving!

Slow slow slow

For the fees this place charges one should not have 4s standing at EVERY TEE BOX. Plus the greens are realty looking scrappy. If you’re gonna charge over $100+ for a round the place better move and the conditions should be better. :-(

Don't Go on Mondays! Or maybe ever :-(

I have played this course off and on for decades so have some perspective here - plus I play quite bit in San Diego county. First off something HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE SLOW PACE OF PLAY HERE! My round on Monday, and I guess the "senior rate" really pulls them out of the retirement home, but really, 5.5 hours to complete a round on a weekday?! Or ever for that matter. Plus the "Hot Deal" at $40 wasn't that hot when you add in the power cart and half bucket of balls to run up to $60+. Compared to SoCal where you can get an afternoon rate, with a GPS cart for <$40 at many courses. To net it out: it's a classic old school course in a very pretty area, just consider if you want to burn a whole day in the process.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the pace of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve by using your comments for guidance. Thank you for playing Mount Si Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Fast Greens

Played on 5/12. Course is in great shape. Greens are really quick and mostly roll fairly true. Pace pretty good. Went out as a 2. One group let us play thru and the pace was awesome. Had to wait on the last 3 holes which was a bummer but overall great day.

Interesting Course

Played for the first time last Saturday. Fairways, greens, tee boxes in good condition. Greens themselves are often large, but full of undulations and speeds can vary. Took most of the front 9 to get comfortable with them. Interesting layout with water and forced carries in places. Would go again.

Good for Twilight

Should be the home of the GPS open for the first few holes. Really needs better signage for tee boxes. Finding the first hole was a chore along with the tee boxes for the first few up till the 6th tee. A bit on the short side so a 100 +/- slope rating from the whites is sensible. A lot of holes are real ego boosters like the downhill par 4 18 that is drivable. Need to keep it in play though as much of the area outside of the fairways are hardpan or disappear into rattlesnake country. Interesting time going 4x4 on the way to some tees in carts. Otherwise good value at $20 for twilight so can't complain.

Nice Course

Challenging course with forced carries on some holes, others where you can just grip it and rip it. Greens in good condition and roll fairly true. A lot of driving cross country between holes however. Need to stay in bounds or you're in for a long day. Otherwise fairways in great shape. Course knowledge here is an advantage. Will be interesting to play again.

Nice Course

Nice course that rewards good shots and is not too punishing on errant ones. Good pace of play if you go mid week. Will hate to see the place get turned into more condos for sure...
