Trash. Don’t waste your money

This course is trash right now. Range mats. Greens. Fairways. Tee boxes. I wouldn’t play again for $40, much less $180. Too many other great courses in San Diego. Skip this one.

Eagle on hole 17

Staff were very friendly snd helpful

course was in good condition and the greens were fast.

Slow pace, it was the last day before a complete redesign of the championship course so maybe members wanted to have one more go at it

I was fortunate to eagle hole 17 from 171 out.

Course has gone downhill

We played this course many years ago and it was excellent, but we were disappointed this time. Conditions are not better than a mediocre muni. Greens are very difficult. We were paired with two singles, both nice guys. By the fifth hole, the Marshall told me we needed to pick up the pace because the hole in front was open. It was already open when we teed off on #1. The rest of the round we felt rushed. When you play with strangers you can’t control the pace. Green fees are high for the condition of the course. I understand they’re closing it for renovations, excellent idea.

Course Renovation in the works

Awesome course layout and a top notch resort. Course closing soon for a major renovation and as such maintenance seems to have slid. Especially sand traps and some of the greens surface. Can’t wait to see new course in 2024 but affordability might be an issue as with all course renovations. Regardless got to play an LPGA course. Good luck with the renovation

Pricey for the cost

This is a very challenging course.. Tee boxes were good. greens were a little beat up for the price. I think course maintenance has fallen since the lost the LPGA tour. I would rather spend the extra money and play Torrey Pines. Restaurant is extremely pricy. Pace of play was great because of the cost. Plan on spending some cash if you want to play the 2 courses.

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.

Just all around amazing!

Solid course with amazing EVERYTHING!
The course was beautiful and well kept.
I was most impressed with the staff.
From the valet, the clubhouse, to the bar, hands down top notch service and warm vibes from all employees.
The food at the bar was high quality and worth the money.
The resort is NICE and worth a look for spa services, shopping and dining too!
I will definitely be coming back to OMNI at La Costa.

Champions Course is in good condition

Despite the ambiguity of some of the recent reviews, the Champions course is in good condition. The greens may not look it, but it is rolling smooth and quick. It's bent grass so they're firm, but unlike Torrey North, rolling quick. Tee boxes can be a little rough, unless you tip it out. Fairways were a little dry, but still green and soft to hit off. Pace of play is great. Again, this is for the Champions Course!

Don't go!

Course is in terrible shape. Greens are diseased,
bumpy, slow and bad shape. Fairway doesn't have much grass and surrounding area are not well kept. It should be under $100 to play. Use to ve awesome.
