Fun & Friendly 9

If you’re looking for a laid back 9 hole course for a great price then this is a good deal. People seemed to want to play quick, but the pace of play on course was slower, simply due to most groups being 4-ball. Two hours to play 9 holes with an early morning tee time.

Great beginner 9 hole

This course is great if your starting out or want to get practice in. The rates are more than reasonable and they have a drink cart to keep you hydrated.

KOA stay and play.

My family is camping at the Chula Vista KOA so I decided to give the course a shot. The staff was very friendly and organized. The course wh i'll le short had a degree of difficulty added with the dog legs. Whether your a first time or a grizzled golfer I would recommend this easy to walk course to anyone. And by the way, very inexpensive.

Manners

This was the first time, we played this course. it was a 5:15 t-time and they were already running late. By the time we got out, it was almost 6pm. In the middle of our round (9 holes only mind you), a junior came to the greens and started collecting all the flags from the holes and inserted sand rakes into the holes, which meant we could n to see where the holes were at all.

They didn't offer us to hit practice balls at all in the beginning as we had to go out without hitting practice balls which made the start of the round even worse. To top it all off, after the round, went to hit some balls on the driving range matts, the same junior came back again and waited by me to clear everything up as they were closing and wouldn't even bother to go around and clear everything else first before coming to me last. And when I asked him what he was waiting for, he said I need to clear your spot up. Ive been in the hotel business for 10+ years and teach customer service to companies and individuals and he definitely need to learn how to treat clients and customers where you earn your income from. What else do you expect from a city course. I should have known better. Never again.!!!

Nice Executive Course

National City Golf Course is an Executive 9 Hole course that is an excellent value for your time and money. You can use your driver and long irons and accuracy is rewarded on short iron approaches. There is snaggy rough in spots but the fairway is maintained and rewards the golfer with logical shots to the green. For the price, you can't beat this course.

Not bad

I wanted to play nine holes and so I thought this course has a nice layout where I can use most of my clubs. The course is in fair shape. I paid $9.99 plus fee at GolfNow which I thought was a great deal until I found out that the cart is not included with the price. GolfNow should have flag that one in. Other than that, it’s ok. Next time I play there, I will bring my golf cart.

Great Value

I have played this course for a few years and it has only gotten better, it still needs improvement in the practice area, but the course is great for the price.
It's not very challenging but it's great for a quick 9.
The staff is friendly, it's an easy walk and the greens are usually in great shape.
