Lots of trees

Trees make the heat very tolerable. This is a good choice for those dreading the intense sun of the desert.

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.

Difficulty Fairly Easy

Uber playable

I found this course set up for general amateur play about as good as it gets. Fairways and green conditions above average of courses I have played in San Diego and definitely equal to the amount charged for green fees. Rough was very good...reasonably long and pretty much free of the ugly spongy crap that alot of public courses think is necessary for penalizing a shot that misses the putting surface. Overall this course is very good value for your playing dollar.

Blind man's bluff

Nice terrain but way too many blind tee shots. Greens and tees were in good condition but fairways were un fair way. Bumping the ball is necessary. Washed areas on sides pose numerous lost ball situations. Course knowledge is uber important to post any type of normal score. Second round there....last time had locals who aided me with shot direction....this time alone I lost a few balls simply not knowing where I could hit it. If I go back I will play from the front tees where you can see where you need to hit the ball in order to find it.

Hidden Gem

Great condition. moderate length par 3 course close in San Diego. Longest holes require 180 yd shots. Well kept sand traps and pristine greens. Walking only and a little hilly so you will get your exercise.

Little Gem

Course and facilities are a little gem for golfers in San Diego. Great greens with good traps....teeing areas could be nicer. All in all a very nice facility.

Add a foot wedge to your bag

Good layout...with good tee boxes and good greens...not great....not fantastic...just good. Fairways are sad. Even if in the dead middle...you can be laying in bare spot or depression due to clumps of alien "stuff"....so....just don't play it down and be agreeable with bumping the ball to a suitable lie.

no excuses

the fairways are poor at best...greens good...tees average to good....nothing less that taking a plow blade to these fairways and mixing with tons and tons of new mulched soil will help these fairways....they are rock hard with about as much dead or bare ground as there is good turf...the only way this is a good deal is getting a cart and green fee for 20 or less...otherwise I will not waste my time again

Top of the List

This course has it all ...layout, scenery, middle length and playability. At 70 I am long enough to still play from the back tees and this course stretches me to my limits. I cannot reach the par 5's in 2 and most of the par 4's are driver and 5 to 8 iron. The par 3's are all challenging and require mid iron to 5 wood depending on wind direction.Right now about half the greens are in a TLC mode but getting close. This is certainly the best value for the money I have experienced thus far in San Diego.

Crying for help !

This course is a fine layout and the cart fleet is in great condition but otherwise totally in need of a great amount of TLC. Greens were in poor condition even though they were punched and top dressed weeks ago and there has been tons of rain to help them heal. Fairways are hard as a rock and have alternate bare areas and muddy spots. If you play there I would recommend not trying to play the ball down and agree with your partners to move into a good lie. Overall this course needs to have a major refurbishment and is only worth playing with discounted green fees.

The " Go To" Course

Played this course the day after torrential rain and it was great. While other courses have drainage issues, this one has none. When cabin fever has its' grip on you, this place will get your golf fix on.

Good time !

Course is in very good condition. Casual amenities complete a venue for a relaxing day with friends and/or family. Only thing lacking is the ability to obtain a riding cart which can make it a physical challenge for a senior who has some mobility issues. Overall this is a very good facility for an enjoyable afternoon.

Relaxing par 3 course.

Very good par 3 course to sharpen your short game. Course layout was good with the ability to provide several different yardages from the tees.Greens were excellent, Nice fairways and decent teeing areas. Both mats and natural grass to tee from. I am 69 and weigh in at 245 and I walked it with no trouble in a little over an hour.I will be back.
