Played on Friday mid-morning. Don't like you only have a small net to hit into to warm up, no range.
Course was in OK condition. Played this course several times before and its looked better in my opinion. Tee boxes were revamped a few months ago but look uneven, maybe need more time? Some patchy spots in fairways. Greens rolled good. I like the course and you get to use every club in the bag, just felt the current condition let it down a bit.

This was my first time playing Steele Canyon and I drove down from North county and paid $72. I had a 6am tee time. I showed up to check in, was given my receipt and told to check in with he starter. There was no starter! I just grabbed a cart and loaded up. I was not told which of the 2 nines I was playing. I asked another golfer where the first tee was and he kindly took me to the tee box. Had no idea if it was the right nine I was supposed to play. The sprinklers were still running on the tee boxes and in the fairways. A single on the tee box said he was heading to hole 2. The twosome in front of me just went and dropped balls in the fairway as they didn't want to wait. The sprinklers shut off and I go to the tee box. Its a dogleg right and I have no idea what's beyond my sightline. Can I cut the corner? Is there trouble? Since no GPS or yardage book I have no idea. There are several holes like this. The signage is poor too. I went the wrong way on several holes! Take the concrete or the dirt path??
It got to the point where I was just put off by the whole experience and I actually left after 5 holes, just drove in. When I got in I asked the starter where to leave the cart, he said "just down there". What does that mean?
I can't complain about the conditions on the 5 holes I played. Good, but not great. I'd rather play Maderas or RB Inn in my neighborhood.
It was the overall impression of the staff and the setup. I will not be back and do not recommend.

Had a 6am tee time. Got to the course around 530 and the guys were setting up. Stater offered me a cart and I went solo around 545. Played in 2 hrs 20 mins. Been a couple of years since I last played this course and it was better than I remember. The course conditions are great. Tee boxes, fairways and greens. Greens are a little slow but not from poor quality. I feel this course is a fair course, what you see is what you get. Although I didn’t play the best it was probably one of the most enjoyable rounds I have had in a while. Will be heading back real soon.
Thanks GCOC.
