First Time Playing

This is a five star admiral....

First time playing the North Course. Worth every penny of the Golf Now Green Fees. Probably the least busy San Diego course I’ve yet to play. Great layout, cart with GPS, super friendly staff, even got to start my round early since the two tee times before me were empty. Course is long and challenging, I loved it. The holes around the lake are beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking.

The North course is in top shape!

So I have played the South course many times but this was my first time playing the North course. What a difference. Play the North if you get to choose. Very well laid out with smooth greens and quality fairways and tee boxes. Make sure you warm up/stretch as they start you off with a Par 5. We teed off at 3pm and got 15 holes in before dark (6:34 sunset) all for only $25 with cart on a freakin Sunday!!! Amazing time. I will be back....probably this weekend :)

Golf Shop are Rude

Booked a super twilight tee time for 3:10, showed up 2 hours early to use the practice hole and the range before our round. Was told by Mark in the golf shop that we could not check in or get a cart till 2:45. Keep in mind the practice hole and range are far from the golf shop. Why ? I ask, because you will go out on the course early he assumes. He makes this assumption of my character and he's in customer service. You can tell the golf shop staff need to be replaced with smiling helpful people. I play Torrey Pines now.

Love playing Baker North

We always enjoy playing Baker North. Wind makes a good test of golf even more difficult here. Greens were in good shape even though some need to fix their ball marks. Bunkers are good, fairways are mostly good. We had a nice day.

North Course

I played the South Course last yaer and by comparison, the North Course was funner. I’ve been playing for about 30 years. Although I said the North Course was funner, I just enjoy playing.

Surprisingly good shape

Usually this time of year the course’s fairways and greens are a bit dry. They fairways were in great shape. I was very surprised. This course gets a ton of play. So the greens were a little beat up. Seemed like quite a few people were not fixing their divots. I kept finding my putt in line with someone’s green tantrum marks. Looked like someone kept blading their putter into the green. Sand was in great shape. Wish most courses in San Diego had Sand this nice. Will be back again. We saw a coyote on 8.

One of my favorite courses in the area

As usual, Admiral North was a bit challenging and fun to play. The weather was great, the conditions very OK and the pace of play ideal., never having to wait to tee off for more than 2 minutes.
