Walked off after 4 hours and 10 minutes for 13 holes!!!!!!

I have played here a number of times before and it is an OK course, but this time was an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! There were ZERO Marshals on the course and play was sickeningly slow! When my entire group finally had enough, and walked off after 13 holes, I stopped by the pro shop to tell them about the slow play and our frustration, they seemed not to care when replying "we only have marshals until 10am on Sunday. Really, one of the two busiest days of the week, and no marshals after 10am? I will not play here again, and I would warn any other golfers to stay away! Unless you don't mind playing 5and a half our rounds of golf!

Response from on 03/29/2017:
We are sorry about your pace of play this past Sunday. We did have a marshal that day but only until about 2 pm due to lack of ambassadors. It was not scheduled to not have one, but simply do not have enough in our program of volunteers. To compound that, we did have a quite sizeable tournament for the Sweetwater School District that did slow things up considerably. For that we do apologize. We did have their tournament head driving around in lieu of an ambassador but you are correct as it was not enough. Most Sundays pace of play is not this bad, and we urge you to give us another chance. Feel free to call the golf shop when booking a tee time and ask on our busier days if we have a tournament and we will always let you know. We agree that slow play can affect the enjoyment of a round of golf. I myself played one of our competitors two weeks ago on a Wednesday and was met with a 5 hour plus round. We hope that you can understand that golf courses are busy on the weekends and it only takes a few to effect the pace and experience. Please call the golf shop when on the course if you witness a slow round, and we can try to target the issues with our marshals, or other coworkers who are on property to speed up play, or try to find an alternate starting hole for you and your players if one exists.

Wow! This layout is immaculate with breathtaking altitude changes

Wow! I had heard Crossings was a great layout, and then when I played there twice in one week I was more than impressed! This course is in immaculate condition for starters. However the layout of the holes, as well as the panoramic views, are even superior to the wonderful course conditions. I know that Torrey Pines has legendary status, and that Maderas and Aviara have their fans, but for me this is the finest public course in San Diego County!

OK course, if you can get a good deal !

Not a bad little course if you can find a deal on Golf Now. The greens were very quick, and the hole locations very tough this day. Overall its a descent course with a fairly interesting layout and OK playing conditions.

Nice Layout, fairly long course, lightning fast greens!!

This course had very fast, well maintained greens. The firways and rough were a bit spotty, and could use some work. Overall this course was challenging, and I would surely return again to play.

Nice course, could use a litle work.

First time playing here, and I found this course to be fairly interesting. The course could use some work though, as the fairways were patchy, and the greens a bit bumpy. All in all though its not a bad place, particularly if you can get a deal on Golf Now.

This course was nice enough for the money, but tee boxes were beat up and wet.

I liked the course well enough, but it could use some maintenance. The fairways were spotty, and the tee boxes were very wet, and beat up. The greens however, were in great shape, and the pace of play was nice. Overall worth the money.

Nice little par 3 course, greens are pretty good and very fast!

Nice little par three course, with very fast greens. The place could use a little sprucing up, and it would be preferable to have a few more long holes. However, it is a nice place to play, that will give you plenty of iron practice, and have you finished in 3 hours, even on a weekend

I always enjoy playing Mt Woodson. The layout is so interesting, with changes of elevation, and spectacular views. The greens are very good, and the staff is first rate. All in all this place is about as good of value as you will find in San Diego.

Very nice course, excellent greens, but slow pace was a problem.

First time on this course and it is well maintained. The front nine was good and the back even more interesting. The greens were terrific. The only drawback was the pace, which was very slow. Did not observe a single marshal on the course!

Nice layout, with some interesting holes!

This course is on the short side, but it has some interesting holes, and is anything but boring. The greens are a bit small, but are pretty well maintained. I have played here before, and it can get pretty crowded on weekends, but we moved very well this day.
