DO NOT PLAY HERE

This is the worst golf course I have ever played at. The greens are slow and your ball bounces like it’s in a pinball machine when you putt. 4 of the fairways are mostly dirt and or mud. Tee boxes are terribly uneven and the pace of play was 3 hours for nine holes. If you rent a cart strap in because it’s a ROUGH ride due no cart paths besides in between tee boxes and greens and the hundreds of holes in the fairways and in the “rough”. Do not waste your money here.

Budget course but slow play

This course is a budget course. The course was about what you pay for. The tee boxes, fairways and bunkers were a little rough but the greens rolled true. I played at 9:30 on a Sunday and it was a 5:30 hr round. I think for the pace of play you can find a better course for the same rate.

No Marshalls telling people to pick up the pace or even a cart girl to make the time go by faster.

Overall it was fine. The budget makes it worth it but if you aren’t in the first couple of groups I would find another place.

The Good & the Bad

We had gotten a good deal on the round through golf now,had that not been the case. The three stars for value,would've been lower.. When we walked up for our 11:46 tee time and saw the beverage cart driving around,we passed on purchasing drinks at the 19th hole.We were later disappointed to never see the beverage cart later on the course.
On to the course, the 1st hole fairway was being punched by a tractor,not a good sign, as all the fairways were pretty rough. The bright spot were the greens,which were in great condition. The sand bunkers were nice and soft,as I found myself in seven of them. The pace of play,was fine.
If they can bring back the fairways to good condition,we will happily come back

Course review

The clubhouse & grounds crew were friendly and helpful.
We never saw the beverage cart operating during our 11:45 - 3:15pm round
The fairways were in pretty poor condition,however the sand traps and greens were in very good condition.
Fortunately the weather was nice outside,otherwise with no inside 19th hole,we would've had to spend out money on drinks and snacks elsewhere.

The worst round I have ever played

The title says it all. 6+ hours to finish a round. This is the worst course in San Diego County. It took us 40 min to get through the first 2 holes because they stacked too many tee times. It was so bad, plus they don’t have a Marshall that comes around at all to tell groups to speed up. I will never play here again, even if it’s free.

The golf cart are suppose to be replaced October/November, much needed! Hole #3 is a muddy mess, but always has been! The course is in its best shape in months with what the have to work with. It’s in a river bottom and takes a beating when we get measurable rain. Overall, better than it’s been in a long time! Continue to improve. Staff is always great🤩

This course was poor at best

Starting out the Carts are in poor condition mine the steering wheel pulled right all day. Most tee boxes were chewed up…the fairways were more dirt and mud than grass. So even from the middle I’m still hitting off solid ground and resulting poor shots and a terrible experience. The greens were slow and seemed to be patchy with different grasses causing inconsistent play. I will not be returning to this course. If I could have demanded my money back I would have.

Chula Vista - First time.

People were great. Fairways were in terrible conditions. Several holes with majority in dirt with no grass. Well managed, poorly maintained.
