Best around

Loved playing this course and it was in great condition. The greens were fantastic fast and smooth with a lot of undulation. Now the bad, as previously mentioned the unfriendly guy at the desk would NOT HONOR our Golf Now rate of $60 and we had to pay $70 even though I showed him my email receipt. I’ve NEVER had that happen and I golf every week somewhere.

Amazing Golf

This is my third time playing San Vicente and I brought a friend who is absolutely super impressed with the course the amount of room and the complexity of the greens. Will be coming back again soon the fairways or as good as it gets.

Hidden Gem

I booked myself as a single with three others. However, when I arrived, the three were first time golfers, so I went out by myself not what I wanted to do however, doing such really give me time to enjoy the nuances and the complexities and the features of the golf course. Oh my god what a gym, of course, Bermuda fairways bent grass greens really nice sand in all the traps completely blew me away. I played here for the first time in January and it’s a different course. I would put it up against any course in San Diego for tee box to green consistency will perhaps almost as good as Torrey Pines. Bit of a drive, but you will be challenged and impressed.

Great play

Course is in really great shape! Fairways look great and greens are super fast/firm. The only issue I had was that I decided to play a round when it was 97 degrees outside. Wish this course was a little closer to where I live so I could play it a bit more often!

Pace of play

The course is in great shape and is really nice. There was no ranger, the pace of play was insanely slow, 6 hours to play 18 holes of golf on a Monday makes 0 sense. This course needs a ranger to speed up pace of play badly. How can you expect people to come back if it takes 6 hours to play 18 holes.

6 HOURS for a round?!?!

The range was not available as well as the putting/chipping green. Would have been nice to have been notified considering we showed up an hour early. The pace of play was absolutely horrible, I think we made it to the 2nd hole and every other tee box after was a waiting game! That is the longest it’s ever taken me to play a round of golf. What was even worse was no Course Marshall to speed up pace of play. The course and layout itself was amazing, it’s a great course that is well kept and maintained. Almost like finding a hidden gem with how many unkept course there are in SD County. Don’t come here if you enjoy ready golf!
