Stunning Links Course

Starting off in the pine trees and then making your way down towards the water on beautiful 4th.

Generous open fairways and tricky greens.

Very enjoyable.

Epic Doak Course

How Doak managed to come up with this design through the pine tree forest is unbelievable. Whilst the newer of the Te Arai courses I think this course will overtake South in world rankings.

Slope ratings off the tips at 127 is misleading and requires re-rating.

Couple holes where the manufactured protection of the greens making them very blind on short chips is unusual.

Some really special holes.

One of the best layouts

Super fun layout. Something different on each hole.

Great value. We got around in 3 hours on Saturday morning.

Well conditioned course

After playing The Wolf couple days earlier, I'd have to say this was more enjoyable. Water comes into play much more and felt the design was much more appealing.

Condition of the course was unreal. So green and great to play off.

Tad overrated?

After reading all the reviews and seeing photos of this course, I was a little disappointed in this course. Particularly as the day before I played Wolf Creek in Mesquite, this was not in the same league.

Fairly tight course but in saying that I managed to get around relatively untroubled. I don't think the bunkers come into play at all for where they are positioned.

Wind was howling which made it tricky.

Bar for a few holes that follow some water and the views of the mountains, I'm not that big a fan of the course and it didn't really jump out at me.

Exceeded all expectations

Absolute delight to play this course. Everything about it brought a smile to my face.

Course layout whilst intimidating doesn't play as difficult as it looks and therefore becomes super enjoyable.

Fairways, bunkers, greens were all in top notch condition.

Great staff and pro shop has amazing merchandise.

Whilst it was very windy, every hole was enjoyable.

Challenging & Excellent Presentation

What a tricky and challenging course. Very tight fairways with thick rough and well protected greens, make for some tough 2nd shots.

I played off the "blue markers" which was more like black (or the back markers). Some great elevated tees on the back 9 and some greens were super slick. Guys at the clubhouse were great.

Some feedback for the course - no water around so a food cart would be good, pin placements on ridges make it super tough and confusion of the par 4/5 holes where they can be played as either (so which is it?).

Really tough but thoroughly enjoyable.

Great links course

The course is a pretty challenging links style course but I was happy to score well today. Felt the front 9 were much more challenging.

Loved the layout, greens, fairways were absolutely delightful to play off. Keep it straight or you will lose balls if the thick rough isn't able to catch your ball. Drinks girl went around 6-8 times during my round.

For $85USD, this is great value.

Negatives - staff weren't particularly friendly at pro shop, bunkers weren't great, pace of play today was shocking (I suspect it may not always be the case) - I played as a solo and finished 7 holes in 45min, but then had 11 holes in 3.5 hours stuck behind groups of 4 who thought they were playing for the Masters.

Was my first time playing in San Diego and had a really enjoyable time on the course.

Course was in great condition and thought layout was challenging without being too over punishing.

Neat little course

Was there for a work conference and shot 2 over.

Great little fun course to just get around on.

Wouldn't travel to play it but if you're in the area or staying at the resort.

Testing course with great views

No doubt the views on this course are with the green fees alone. Staff were brilliant.

Layout for mine was disappointing. Very tight.

Challenging - touch overrated perhaps?

Was super excited at the opportunity to play this course.

Customer experience prior to tee off was lacking. Particularly compared to the other San Diego courses I played, I feel there was no effort to customer.

Course is exactly as what you expect when you see this on tv. However, playing it I didn't get a buzz.

Very expensive as non resident too.
