Great and Fun Course

This course was fun and challenging with many tee boxes seemingly a hundred feet above where you're aiming. The greens were quick rolling at an 11. For the most part the course was kept very nice. Would recommend playing to a friend.

5.5 hours to play 18 holes on a Thursday teeing off at 11:30am is too long for me.

Always love this course

Challenging for a high handicapper but enjoyed it all the same. Very interesting layout.
Some areas a little bare but typical for San Diego courses with drought and now XS rain.
Fun to see horseback riders, road runner, and other birds along the way. Staff is always welcoming and helpful!

Pretty good for a last minute booking

Overall a really fun course and layout with VERY challenging greens. Spots could be better kept but also am aware its the dead of winter so will need to come back as it warms up.

Good layout. Poor course maintenance.

Super fun, layout many challenging holes. Waiting on every Teebox for a 5 1/2 hour run is no fun. I’m sure because it was a weekend it would be busy, but better spacing would be desired. Staff was more than courteous and everyone we met on the course, we’re very professional and friendly

Worth it

I played on Veterans Day with a few friends. Yes it it a little more expensive than other courses but worth it. Simply driving in and seeing the club house and chipping area I knew I was in for a good round. Everything about this course is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely Pure

My first time playing Steele canyon and this place was breathtaking. I played Canyon/Ranch. First and foremost the greens can make or break a golf course in my opinion and these greens were true and so pure. The fairways were manicured and the rough was thick but not annoyingly so. The staff was great and went out of there way, one of them actually shuttled me from my car to the clubhouse. To be fair I think my timing was on point. Can’t wait to play again. My new favorite spot in San Diego.

Pace of play caused us to leave

Tried to take my dad out for a special round. The starter was the nicest guy and got the day rolling. We played behind slow groups. Left after 14 holes at 4.5 hour mark. Would have taken 5+ hours to play. Enformed pro behind counter and he could care less.

Too expensive

It’s a nice course. But, it plays more like a $60-75 course. For $100+ it’s way too expensive. It could be worth $100+ if it was very well maintained. But, it’s not. Bunkers are hard, rough is very patchy, fairways are ok. Greens are nice though.

Starter was so nice!

How often does the starter greet you and make your day better. At Steele canyon this guy was awesome. Even provided a yardage book. Great place to play!

Perfectly fine course

Everything was pretty good except the price/conditions. For a similar price point and better conditions, I'd rather go to one of the sycuan courses. Many of the long time players I ran into lamented the same as the prices are a bit unreasonable. 5 stars if conditions improve or prices come down.
