Lack of maintenance

Could be a fun course to play if the fairways are properly maintained. Quiet countryside setting: invest in course improvements & raise the fees.

Contrarian review: It's fun for the money

I read the reviews AFTER booking our 10:50 tee time for $20 (including cart). I was expecting burned out fairways and terrible greens.

Yes the first 9 is a little like entering the Land That Time Forgot. You drive thru tunnels designed not only for carts but for significant water flow. There were large mounds of river sand cleared off to both sides of the path. It was a little surreal.

And, yes, the areas 50 to 75 yards out from the tee box lack grass on the front nine, but you should hit it farther than that. We saw a coyote on the second hole and had to avoid some casual water throughout the first nine, but it was still playable.

The greens are not in bad shape, but they were much slower than I've been used to recently.

The back 9 avoids most of the water issues and is a lot of fun. The course is narrow throughout, though, so it could be a problem if you spay the ball off the tee.

It took us 4-1/2 hours as the course attracts some bargain-hunting beginners, but other than pace of play (mostly on the back 9), it was great. We've already decided to play it again, though it's possible that the El Nino winter may do a number on the front nine and we'll rethink the whole thing. Still, it would be interesting to see what Mother Nature does to those first nine holes.

For $20, it's a fun morning or afternoon. You can go to the Safari Park after, too.

The price was right

The course does not appear to be maintained, but it was golf for cheap. Could be a nice course with a little more upkeep?

Been playing here for years. The worst conditions ever! Looks like they gave up on this course. Everything about it was the worst. The greens were sick with some fungus. They were super slow and bumpy. There were more gophers than golfers!
Not coming back!

Front 9 is really bad

The front 9 of this course is in really poor condition. The fairway is dirt and the greens are in desperate need of care. The back nine looked and played the best. They should close the front 9, fix it and let people play the back 9 twice. Course layout is really cool and I bet would be worth more if the course was maintained better.

5 under par playing best ball with the wife

Our best score, mainly due to good chipping and putting (only 12 putts for 18 holes!)
Traps are getting better

Would be overpriced if it was free

Worst condition course I've played. Never left a review here before but felt like I had to. The bunkers are filled with water and parts of the fairway are filled with water too. The greens are in extremely poor condition as well. It had the potential to be a good course but unfortunately there is zero maintenance.

Don't go here even if you have a gun to your head.

Worst golf experience I have ever had. Course is in terrible shape. Greens have cancer growing on them. Pace of play is the worst I've ever experienced. No Marshal. No grass on the fairways. Mud everywhere else including ponds in the sand traps. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! Worst golf experience in San Diego County. I hope someone buys this course and fixes it up into something resembling a real golf course.

Don’t do it!

I was enticed by the $50 weekend rate, but it’s not worth it.
Tee boxes are terrible. Fairways are terrible. Greens are terrible. Traps are terrible.

Terrible course

If you want to play on dirt and mud for 18 holes then this is your course. Greens are patchy and full of sand, “bunker” are just massive holes of mud, no fairways just dirt and more mud. Terrible terrible course there is no reason why this course should be charging $40 PLUS cart fee. This is a $5 course at best IF THAT. There is also no reason why this course should display 3 and a half stars on golf now. It is misleading.
