This is my favorite public course in San Diego. The staff has always been friendly, the course well kept, and the greens are true.
The greens were running at a 12 (fast!). Pace of play was a bit slower than usual, do to a tournament ahead of my group.
A bit of advice: spend some time on the practice green.
Had a great time.

The greens had been punched September 27, and the healing is doing great.
Definitely a course to just relax, take in the hillside view,s, and play golf. If you bring your cell phone, leave it in your car (no service).

I always very much enjoy playing here. The staff has always been very friendly.
The scenery is always wonderful to look at. Extremely peaceful place to play. The course is not extremely long, but does put a premium on keeping the ball in the fairways. If the wind does pick up, your game will definitely be tested.
I highly recommend giving Mount Woodson a visit.

Played this track about five times. Took my better half here for the first time. We spent months going to the driving range (working on her new irons). I very much wanted her to see the course and not focus on the difficulty of the track (my second favorite in San Diego). She absolutely loved the place!!!
We’ll definitely be back

As all courses are going through maintenance this time of year, I wasn’t going to hold my putting accountable for my score today.
The staff here is outstanding. Extremely friendly check in, and great service at the turn.
A challenging and fun track. Bring Off Deep Woods. There are always quite a few gnats and flies.

The greens here are always pretty nice. The fairways need some attention. Wasn’t in the bunkers today, so nothing to comment.
Overall a great value.

Classic golf course that’s in great condition. Greens a tad slow, but nice.
Staff was great.

I really enjoy the layout and greens here. A few risk reward holes can make or break your round.
Only knock today, is that my group was rushed to the tee 10 minutes early. We didn’t get to finish warming up. Paid for balls that we didn’t get to hit (small bucket).

Haven’t played Eastlake in a while. The greens are getting better and faster. A few tee boxes are a bit chewed up, but nothing that is unplayable. You might still have to bump your ball into some grass on a few fairways, but improved ball positions never hurt my feelings.
Overall a pretty good experience. Keep up the improvements Eastlake, you’re doing much better that I’ve seen in the last couple of years.
I will be playing here more often to see the improvements to come.

Always a wonderful experience out at Maderas, even if my scores don’t reflect it. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Practice facilities are well kept and give a good indication of what you’ll be in store for. A bit pricey for my weekly outing, but perfect for a once a month treat.

This place used to the gem of the valley ( 27 beautiful holes/only 18 now) it’s definitely lost it’s shine. The layout is fun, and some holes are quite challenging when the wind blows through.
They are making efforts to improve the course, but the progress has been extremely slow.
Staff in the pro shop are nice, the starters always seem to be in a great mood, and kitchen is always friendly. Hard to find a beverage cart before 10am during the week.
Surprisingly this place gets more play than the course conditions call for. Hopefully Riverwalk restores the course along with shine it once had.

Great old school track. Shot placement is a premium here.
Tip: if you’re taking out a new golfer (ladies/youth), the forward tees aren’t the easiest to play from.

It had been a while since I’ve played here. The course is in much better shape than I remembered it. Pace of play is always a tad slow (5hours), but I expected it here.
Some of the friendliest staff that you’ll find at any course in the county.

Today the course was empty, which is very unusual (threat of rain in the forecast). Usually the pace of play is pretty slow. The greens were a little long today, but are usually pretty nice.
The grill has a very affordable menu and a pretty good selection of adult beverages.
Food comes out relatively quick and the wait staff is friendly.

This used to be a beautiful course to play. I’m saddened to say that the conditions of all three nines are worst I’ve seen in San Diego. In quite some time. I sincerely hope it improves.
