The course has GPS on their carts as of 8/3/19, but there is also yardage markers all over just in case.

rough

The rough was garbage. The snack bar at turn was closed. Not much water on the course for drinking. Saw cart lady only once, but she was nice. Greens were pock marked and divots not repaired. Played there once before, and expected more. Very disappointed.

generally good conditions

some fairways had bare spots, which we treated as GUR. Greens, tee boxes and bunkers were excellent!

Fun Friday Round

Admiral Baker North is a somewhat demanding course that does let you get away with some errant tee shots. The greens are almost always in good conditions. They were a tad slow but that is because they are about to punch the greens on June 3 and 4th. $25 with cart at 3:14, took about 4:15 to play which is about average in San Diego on a Friday.

Perfect Timing

Had a 2:15 tee time Hot Deal. Figured would be able to get in 18 and let the rush hour traffic North sort itself out. Turns out that the CIF golf tournament was in the morning and had just concluded. Arrived at 2:00 and were told that we could go right out. Paired up with another twosome and teed off on a completely empty North course. Unfortunately, there were only the tournament tees (Blue+) and the other twosome wanted to play white, but we just hit from white tombstone (my wife did same from red/gold). We play fast and the other twosome were good players, so the upshot is our four went around in 3:20 minutes. While it meant we had to head back to Del Mar area in 5:30 rush hour traffic, we did so with big smiles given the great time and fantastic pace on ABN. Also, given the tournament, every bunker was ranked with no footprints (from the normal lazy knuckleheads.) Looks like Torrey Pines won the tournament as well. Way to go Falcons! A perfect day and round!

Admiral Baker North

White tees are about 6400 yards and the Gold tees are about 5500. There is nothing in between. I would like to see the course around 6000 yards. I am over 70 and find the Whites too long and the Golds too short. A combination would make the course more enjoyable.
Otherwise it is a nice track.
The restaurant is very good.
