Great challenging course

Course was in great shape, greens were running true even after they were punched just a couple weeks ago. A tough test of golf, very demanding off the tee.

Superior course and views. Highly recommend.

As soon as you arrive staff are so friendly and helpful. Stunning course and views around the course. The course is extremely well maintained. Two holes a Marshall advised us where to hit and was a ball spotter to maintain pace of play. This was great as makes have to tee off over a large area of bush but there are drop zones on other side. All holes are interesting with elevation, water or bunkers. We did loss a few balls so bring extra. Highly recommend this course would visit again.

Great experience.

Played two days in a row and the course was in great shape. Fairways and greens well maintained. Course is tough, especially reading the greens, but it’s fair and the staff is great. CC type experience.

Will be back whenever I’m in San Diego.

Great course

One of the best course in San Diego area. It was very hot day and marshals were going around with cold water and cold towels for the golfers, thank you. The course is in perfect shape and beautiful scenery. Only downside was pro shop charging $5.00 bag fee per golfer, I don’t remember paying the bag fee before.

Not CASH friendly.

I guess they can’t trust their staff to either be able to count money or not steal it. Not a fan of credit card only establishments.
