Dos Osos Golf Club(formerly known as Eagle Crest Golf Club) is routed through the scenic San Pasqual Valley. Its secluded location and challenging layout have made Dos Osos one of San Diego's best-kept secrets. The beautiful layout incorporates cascading waterfalls and eight lakes along with colorful wildflowers and rolling green hills. The diverse golf course is a shot maker's layout that is player friendly enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. It measures to a manageable 6,417 yards, but it still offers plenty of challenges. In addition to the water hazards, pristine white sand bunkers add a stark contrast to the lush greens. The golf course is narrow, especially on the front nine, which is tighter and has more tree-lined fairways. The bank nine opens up much more. Dos Osos Golf Club rewards accuracy and thoughtful strategy but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Such a let down

This course has so much potential, unfortunately the owners don’t put any money into this course at all. All but one tee box is nothing but sand. The fairways are covered with dead spots and the greens are covered in burn marks. If they actually put effort into maintaining this course it could be a good track but that’s far from the case. Very surprised the neighborhood this course is in hasn’t complained about the eyesore.

All good but the carts

Carts have obscenely restrictive geo-fencing on them. Makes the so-called convenience of having them almost completely a moot point. Many holes are still cart path only, which is understandable as renovations continue but it means you may as well walk the course if it wasn't for the long distances between some of the holes. Hate that I paid what I did for the cart when I got as little out of it as I did, but that's the chief complaint really. Course is great by all other metrics and worth a visit with that caveat.

Hidden Gem!

I love the layout of this course. It meanders through the surrounding hills and is in a very nice gated community. It is so quiet and peaceful in this area and that makes for a very relaxing round of golf. The course is not easy but not too difficult. A good test of your golf skills. Since JC took over they have restored the course and made it a must play course. I also appreciate the staff there that I have met and dealt with. Zeke and another young man that works the afternoons have been very accommodating. And even those who work as the starters have been very helpful. Just a very pleasant experience every time I go there. Wish I lived closer. Would play there more often.

Not impressed

5.5 hour round. 4 groups backed up at one point.

Course it self could be really fun if the fairways were watered better. Tee boxes were awful.

Randomly had a grounds keeper watering a green. On hole 13.

Worth the Money

During the week there is little traffic. I probably could have been done in 2 1/2 hours if I wasn't occassionally hitting two balls or looking for my ball.

The relative value is definitely there.

Hire a Marshall to Improve Pace of Play

This course is a hidden gem. But if you have a tee time at 9am, it should never take 5 1/2 hours to finish. That is 100% the course and its management team’s fault. The allege marshall just sat in his cart and watched as the pace got slower and slower. Hire a real Marshall. Go out, find the problem, tell them to pick up, and move on. I then as the Marshall follow them on each shot so they get the message. If they don’t like it, good. They won’t come back and ruin another day. But by not fixing it, you’ll cause the rest of us to STAY AWAY. Slow players, play somewhere else with you uneducated COVID etiquette

Disappointing still

The Course has great bones, and we were assured that the conditions had improved. But it must have been completely horrible. If the current condition would be categorized as improved fairways let alone rough was patchy and super poor. Everything from fairways to greens to cartpath was subpar and they’re getting all the money at $85 based on the condition.

Off The Beaten Path

Midweek must. The course was actually in pretty good condition, save for some off fairway areas. Not a lot of people (I played midweek in the middle of the day). Finally caught up with a threesome of the 10th hole who were waiting on a foursome in front of them. Paced slowed at that point, but was not bad. I was expecting to see a mountain lion or something wild, but the most I saw was a turtle by the waterfall.

Nothing terribly long, so was able to play a lot of mid irons, which really helped my score.

Decent Round

Friendliest staff you will find anywhere. The course is “ good”, it has some really nice holes and you can see the work they are doing. Pace wasn’t bad, little less than 4 1/2, a little slow for a Thursday but it was a great day out.

I will play here again.

Good course for the money

Challenging and fun course for the money. They’ve been doing a lot of improvements since the new management took over and it shows! The greens look a lot better and they got new carts which are nice! The fairways are still undergoing some repairs so they’re not in the best condition, but everything seems to be trending in the right direction!

Play This Track Now!

JC Golf has done a great job bringing this course back to life! The course was in excellent shape. Hole 10 is a fun layout to start the back 9! No hero shots! Play this hole strategically because your score will blow up if you don’t. Highly recommend playing Dos Osos now.
