We have not played this course for quite some and decided to play there based on current reviews! We were apprehensive thinking the reviews may have been slanted.... for the most part the course was in very good condition! Fairways were in good condition, the greens were in great condition and were quicker than most of the courses we've been playing! The tee boxes need work and on some holes we were glad we were not in the sand trap because they either had water or mud in them! Overall, I was impressed and would play there again!!

I've played this course many times in the past but this was the first time this year! I was really looking forward to it but once I started playing and saw/experienced how bad the conditions are I was extremely disappointed! It's not worth half of what I paid!! A number of fairways were not cut, greens were very slow and a number of them were bare and had crabgrass on them! I was never in the bunkers so not sure their conditions. Tee boxes were hit & miss.... maybe they'll improve next year!!!! could get the pic of the greens to upload!!!

Course was in good condition! A few of the tee boxes needed attention..... fairways, rough, sand traps, and greens were all in very good shape!!! Have played before, will play again!!!

We played on a Monday after getting rain on Saturday and Sunday morning! We chose to play there based on a 4.5 rating. It should have been rated between a 3 & 3.5! The fairways were not cut so there wasn't much roll! Every sand trap was filled with water so we lost 2-3 balls in the sand traps! The greens were average.... not fast at all but not extra slow! They don't have much of a driving range but at least they do have one but big hitters beware! There is a house at the end on the driving range that is about 240-250 yards! We drove down from Chesapeake..... may not go back!!

We had a 11:30 tee time and started on time! We play this course fairly often and average time is about 4.5 hours to play 18. We haven't gotten any rain in almost 2 weeks so the ground was very hard.... great for most drives but tough on some iron shots & chipping! So.... over all: some tee boxes was pretty beaten up, most fairways were very hard with little grass, never was in any of the bunkers, greens were in good shape!!

Haven't played this course in almost 2 years. The course wasn't busy so I got right out. Tee boxes were in fair condition, the fairways were in good condition! The sand traps, some were in good condition others were in fair condition! I was in most sand traps and none were so bad condition I had to pull it out, a few I had to move my ball since the sand was wet! The greens were not in good shape! Fortunately, they had most the pin placements away from the worst part of the greens but numerous times I was putting over the poor parts of the greens! I would play again but not pay 30+ again, perhaps 20-25!

Was told that the greens were aerated the middle of March.... wasn't told that there was still significant sand on the greens that made them slow! Most of the grass is still dormant, with a lot of bare spots. It was a very windy day so that affected play! Sand traps were cementified.... hard as cement! Would play again, perhaps later in the year when the grass is green. Perhaps the bare spots will fill in!!

I was in the Venture county area for work and decided to play a round of golf on my way back to San Diego, so this was the first time I've been to this course. The marine layer was thick at the coast so I assumed I would be okay inland. Got to the course at 7:30 am for an 8:08 tee time. The marine layer was thick.... the staff said they don't delay tee times for the marine layer. I decided to tee off 15 minutes early as a single. Between the staff's advice, the carts GPS, and the map and advice on the score card, I did alright! The 1st, 3rd, and 5th hole I couldn't see past 100 yards. I played conservative and it worked out! I said all that to say some of the course conditions I can't say for sure. The tee boxes were in great shape. Quite a few holes are very narrow so you had to be accurate. I was in several sand traps and most were in good shape. Fairways & greens were in great shape and the greens were fast. When the marine layer finally lifted, about 8:50 the course is very pretty! As a single two groups let me play through so I played in 3 1/2 hours. I would definitely play again!!!

Good course in good condition. The fairways, bunkers (I was only in one), tee boxes, and greens were in very good shape. The staff was excellent. As a JC course, this course usually runs a bit high.... I got a great deal on GolfNow! I would play this course again with another great deal!!!

We've played Miramar many, many times. The course is in good condition right now. The greens were in great condition and so were the bunkers! I don't regret landing in a bunker with soft sand compared to the concrete other course have!! The tee boxes were also in good shape. Some holes I was really impressed with the fairways, others not so much. The course is very flat, easy to walk.... not very many hazards. We've played it many times, will play it again many times - but usually only when we get a great deal < $25. BTW, I always play the blue tees, the whites are just too easy!!!

My wife and I played Oct 13th, had an 11:30ish tee time. Last time we played here was 2+ years ago when it was Lake San Marcos, now it's St. Marks Country Club. The course design hasn't changed much. We stopped playing there because course conditions were so bad that it was a joke to be called a golf course! Since the 'new name' course conditions have improved quite a bit. Most of the course had grass, and green to boot! The rough wasn't too tall that you couldn't hit out of it. Sand traps were excellent condition, best part of the course!! The fairways had grass, about 60% of the fairways had good grass, the rest was so thin and hard it was hard to hit off of. The greens for the most part were not in good shape! All of them looked good from a distance but two thirds of them had bare spots and looked bad! About 4-5 greens were in good to veyr good condition! My wifes biggest complaint was the womens tees were too close to the blue tees where I hit from on quite a few holes! We played for under twenty-five bucks and decided we'd go back but wouldn't be willing to pay more than that!

Played as a twosome Sunday June 22nd...... got a good rate on Golfnow! The previous reviews said this course was in good-great shape! Overall the course was in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps (was only in 1 or 2) and greens! I usually play the 'blues' and kept to it as the 'white' tees would not have been challenging enough! Hardest part of the course was the rough..... it was very thick and hard to hit out of!!! Would definitely play this course again as long as the rate was resonable!!!

Played as a twosome Friday June 6th.... the reviews said the course was in exceptional condition and it was! Haven't played this course in a while but got a great rate on Golfnow with a promo code! I usually play the 'blues' maybe I should have played the 'whites'! Tough course!!! Tee boxes, fairways, greens, sand traps were all in good to excellent condition!!! Absolutely would play there again & recommend this course to others!!!

Let me say part of the rating I give this course is due to players not fixing their divots on the tee box, fairways, or greens. Also, we didn't realize there was some maintenance (sand-traps mostly) being done on the course! The greens were the best part of the course, fairly quick, but we did have to move our ball at times to avoid the divots. Fairways were ok, the rough was pretty rough, hard to get out of, the sand traps started off ok but then were very wet to mud puddles. If it wasn't for the good rate we got I would be tempted to complain more.

We played on 23 August 13, our normal beautiful day in San Diego! We started on time as a 3-some following a 3-some. The course was in very good condition! Fairways had a few thin spots but overall not bad. We were only in a couple of sand traps and they were in good condition! The greens were in great shape!! They were fairly soft but repaired easily and most if not all players were good about fixing their divots! The only negative thing to mention was the pace of play. There was a foursome playing extremely slow, with no one in front of them and NO marshall around to speed up play!!! I'm sure we could have played in 4 - 4.5 hours instead of 5 if they would have played faster!

We always enjoy playing this course. Course was in overall good condition. No major problems with tee boxes, fairways, greens, or sand traps (I think we were only in one!). Some of the fairways were bare but if you don't mind moving your ball a little to some grass it makes a difference. We picked a hot day, around 90, and some of the water coolers were empty so make sure you have plenty of water with you & keep them filled up!

Played Woods Valley Golf Club on Friday May 24, 2013 after reading a few decent reviews.... the course overall was in very good condition! Most of the tee boxes, fairways, greens were in above average condition! Above average meaning I've played this course when it was not in good condition. There was good grass on the tee boxes & most of the fairways. The greens were in good condition but fairly beat up from golfers not repairing their divots! Was only in the sand once (hole 18) & was in very good condition!

Played Saturday May 18th at 1:35, our first time playing this course! Played Oaks/Creek. The course was in great shape! Tee boxes, fairways were fantastic, and the greens were fast. The sand traps were in good shape however they must have watered some because several were very hard but the rest had good sand. One of the better courses we played in San Diego!!!

We played Saturday Feb 23 with a last minute tee time (1:20)..... the course had frost early in the morning and everyone for the rest of the day was delayed. We were originally told that we would have a 10-15 minute delay (with everyone else) but ended up to be a 40-45 minute delay! I'm sure it was frustrating for everyone not just us! The course is in good - very good condition. We didn't see/find any bare spots on the fairways, sand traps we were in was in good shape, and most greens were in good shape..... a few on the back nine needed attention. The last 3 holes were a blur since it was almost dark & we literally ran to try to get all 18 in.
