Steele Canyon Golf Club - Canyon/Ranch

For $175 per person, this course is not in shape for that price. The layout of the course is great. But the tee boxes, fairways, and greens need to be kept in better shape for that price point. I would much rather pay it bit more to go play Maderas.

The layout is confusing
Play was super slow
It is for sure overpriced

Played canyon/vineyard. Teed off as 4some and finished in 3hr 45 min. Course was in great shape. Greens firm, fast, and hard, but with spin all is good. The views are amazing and you’ll always see some form or wildlife around.

We were not from California but apparently this is a pretty good course but for the money I was expecting nicer. The green were great! The layout is pretty challenging if you have never played here. Lots of elevated tee shots and not a lot of places to miss. Very unforgiving if you miss. Overall good condition good views. I would play again if I was in the area but wouldn’t make a trip out to play it again.

I played Steel Canyon for the first time in years yesterday. Well Maintained, Scenic and I’ll be back.

For a public course, the conditions were good. The greens were in excellent shape, pretty fast and true. The layout is very fun with lots of variety to hole design.
The staff were friendly and very helpful.
The snack shack offer good food, and even had hot dogs. Something we do not have at my home course! Ha!
A very enjoyable experience overall.

Travelled from out of town. Called ahead to confirm they had rentals. Arrived to find out they had already rented out their TaylorMade Stealth/better sets. Was given a set of older, very very used clubs. Still charged $75 which is pretty steep for the quality. I would definitely recommend this course, but bring your own clubs.

Fairly tight, cannot spray ball. Fairways in good shape. Healthy drive from San Diego. Play was slow, took us about 4.5 hours.

I played early on a Tuesday, so pace was very fast. Greens were awesome. Fairways were good. Bunkers were all wet (I was only in one, thankfully.) Staff was not all that interested - could be friendlier. One of the better San Diego public courses for challenge, scenery and conditions.

As always one of the nicest courses and most cordial staffs in the area. Typically can get done in 4 1/2 to 5 hours on a weekend. This time took 6 plus. Was behind a large group having an outing and the group we were behind were two holes behind and not so much as a push from anyone to speed up. At one par 3 on the back there were 3 groups waiting to tee off.

Have to say first time it’s been an issue here. Let’s hope they push a little harder on these types of slow play in the future. Will not deter me from playing with all of the other positives at this course.

There was a tournament group of 36 people who went out on the same set of courses as everyone else. It probably would have been better for them to start out on a different course than the regular customers. This group played very slow and the marshals never asked them to speed it up. Also, some of the staff who were supposed to be doing the starting, for the players seemed more interested in gossiping among themselves, rather than tending to their customers. They seem to ignore customers, and continue to talk, even if someone wanted to ask them questions. I have played at Steele Canyon several times, and never run into this experience, so hopefully it was a one time thing.

We played the Canyon/Ranch courses. The views on both were fantastic. Took a little longer to play than anticipated but quite frankly, that was not a concern and we enjoyed the scenery. These courses are challenging but fun. The only criticism I have is the golf carts should be updated to have GPS. I would definitely recommend playing this course if you are in the area.

This course is always fair challenging and the greens are impeccable.

The staff was friendly. You have to have every shot in your bag and the layout is good.

Some of the best greens around.
