$15 hot deal!

I really enjoyed myself at the Rancho Carlsbad pitch and putt. Most holes around 100 yards. Course in pretty good condition. Actually with all of the rain we’ve had in Southern California. Greens tiny but in good shape. They have a $120 a month membership fee for all the golf you can play which I may take them up on. Overall I enjoyed my three hour 18 hole Golf today!

Fun Course!

Fun little course with some challenging holes and greens. Great place to work in the short game and short irons! Easy to walk as well. Played 18 at 8:15 on a Saturday morning and was done before 10:45!

Great Beer Course

Every city needs a cheap par 3, and for north county SD, this is it. My wife and I played here on a Saturday around 10:30am and it took us a little over 2 hours to finish 18. We got stuck behind a few groups of people wanting to just fool around, which is expected at a par 3 on a Saturday. The price point is a tad high in my opinion, but Golf in general is stupid expensive right now.

But for kids and families... it's perfect!

Fun with irons

You won’t need your full bag for this course just bring your irons, wedges and a putter you will have a quick round walking this course. I went a couple months ago for my first time and it was a decent place to stop by for a fast round. This past weekend I noticed the grass was definitely in a lot worse condition than the previous time but still not the worst place I’ve played. Has 3 holes over a creek but nothing too crazy. The longest hole is about 170 so be prepared to get creative with your shorter distance clubs.

Definition of a par 3 course

Definitely know before going it is a short par 3 course, with only a handful of holes over 100 yards. Definitely good for beginners just starting to get the hang of things

Very small course, most of the holes are par 3 holes with less than 90 yards

Mislead from the pictures displayed on Golf Now, this is a course for the first time golf players or for kids

Fun but

Like the ability to just play on my own, course was almost empty. Front nine is in pretty poor condition, barely looks like a course honestly. Also do not love that the driving range balls were raining down on me.
The back nine is much nicer, better, layout, better greens. Overall a great place to practice your short game. Oh and try the street tacos , they are delicious.

Fun PAR 3!

This is a family friendly PAR 3 with a few challenging holes over a canal. Staff is friendly and the pro shop has everything you need if you forget something.
