3.5 hours for 9 holes

It's a decent course. But the pace is soooooo slow. Watching golfer after golfer hack at the ball and hit it 15 yards. Pace is gonna be slow when people are plus 10 on each hole! Wish there was some sort of enforcement or something. But it's a cheap course. So what do you do

Solid cheap course

Great value for what you pay for at this course. If you're expecting too much here, you will be disappointed. But this course is great for beginners.

One of my favorite courses in San Diego

TPC National City. It is what it is and what it is is awesome. Cheap 9 hole course with a par 5 so you can take all your clubs out, great drinks get the Freddymary. Laid back vibes just a bunch of people that like playing for cheap trying to get better. Slow on the weekends but to be expected because you’re always gonna see some first timers. Super walkable. Love this place.

Photo is not accurate

This course is terrible. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in all in very poor condition, yet the place was crowded! Pace of play was very slow due to the number of people who've never swung a club before. No fun at all.

Nice 9 hole tract

Plenty of different shot selections on a short 9 hole course. Greens are good and getting better. Fairways need work. Tees spotty. Pace of play can be greatly improved by reducing height of rough. Locating balls in deep rough just off the collars of greens and edges of fairways compounds slow play on a public course where many players are new or inexperienced players.

Not bad for a municipal course but it can be better.

Slow pace, poor maintenance

First and last time I'll play this course. Pace of pay was extremely slow. By the seventh hole we had three groups ahead of us waiting so we just left.

Range like a boss

If you like 50 yards of roll this is the place with the dirt fairways and driving ranges
