It is what it is

I don't play RW often as it seems to be used by tourist more because of its location but always hope to surprised (in a good way) when I do play it. Just never lives up to the potential of the great layout. Always slow play and this time the fairways were in terrible shape. Greens were good. That being said the owners have planned to buid condos/apts for the last 20 years and I think plans are now starting to move through city for phase one so prob dont expect much improvement in the future..just more of the same

A decent course in San Diego

For a visitor, the course layout is not complicated and a good course to warm up. Green is well-maintained and fast (11) but a little bumpy. Green fee is reasonable compared to others. Overall, this is a course definitely worthy a 4 star.

Groups of 6 and 7 playing together

Conditions were good. Staff were friendly. But there were groups of 6 and 7 people playing ahead of us. How is that allowed? Slowed down the pace of play, made worse by a player in the group in front of us hitting multiple balls.

Overpriced

The course is fine. However, it is absolutely preposterous to charge $110 for this layout, let alone when the greens are sanded. Finding tee times in San Diego is difficult, but I would recommend rolling the dice elsewhere

Enjoyable round

Course has been in pretty good condition lately. Greens are rolling well (providing some tough putts!). Pace of play has been decent, getting a little bit clogged on the back 9 but nothing terrible. Still think it could be cheaper but not shocking if you pick good times. Makes for an enjoyable round in usually 4 or less hours.
