Rating 71.7

A collaborative effort by Ted Robinson Sr. and his son has resulted in a most scenic championship layout. The championship 18 meanders through mature eucalyptus trees, tall palms, and majestic oaks. Sparkling ponds contrast with the dozens of white sand bunkers and the emerald green, Bermuda grass fairways.

Pricing

This course has gotten ridiculously expensive with no new amenities for the customers to enjoy. The only thing that changed was the price. Your prices needs to reflect some discounts that the customer can benefit from. I'm sure your attendance is down because of your green fees. Look around your pro shop and see how much is being purchased out of there. I would say, it's minimum or almost nothing in some months. These are the things I'm talking about. LOWER YOUR GREEN FEES!!

18 holes played13..

Short and sour. We gave up waiting on tee 13. After the first five holes we were backed up waiting to tee off I would say 8 to 12 minutes on every hole. With a cool breeze it just wasn't pleasant. My personal opinion is they also scheduled a tournament involving 3 High Schools. It seemed like a zoo... Sure didn't get my monies worth. I went in and let them know how I felt. This was their response Sorry

Great Staff & Creative Design - Poor Fairway Conditions

This course would be worth the $100.49 for 18 holes (walking) on a Friday if it had better fairway conditions. I’m sure the grounds crews work hard on this course but the fairways have been muddy, straight up dirt, or plugged with the remnants just sitting on the grass. Not worth the money until the fairways improve.

Worst value in San Diego

Officially my last round of golf here. They raised the prices again $130+ right after aerating all the greens. Played 4 holes in 1.5 hours (that’s 6.5 hour pace) and walked off for probably the tenth time due to pace which they never do anything about.

Greens are recovering and not it good shape which is fair but don’t charge more?? Fairways are dry dirt, tee boxes aren’t mowed, and generally in terrible shape.

There are about 7 other courses in a 20 mile radius that are cheaper, better shape, and more fun. I don’t write reviews but I’ve been playing here for two years and I can’t f stand the place.

Perfect Golf day

Course was 5 stars on a beautiful SD cloudy day all day. i was a single and was paired up with three strangers. By the end of the round you would have thought we had played together before. My best enjoyable of round of golf in years. Thanks Sincerely to Riverfront for the perfect set up and Thanks to RJ. John and Glen. Hope to run into you guys again. And last a Big Happy Bday to John turning 40 today..

Understaffed

The cashier guy was busy on a call.

The starter was nowhere to be found.

Where the heck are the workers that they are not doing their jobs?

The golfing experience is more than just the round. We need you guys to be there on your posts, available, knowledgeable, supplied and ready. We are the paying guests.

Waste of money

I played here about two years ago. Stopped going because the course was in terrible shape. Now they jacked the price way up so I thought maybe they put some work into the course. Played here a couple weeks ago and it is the exact same. An absolute rip off. Customer service is even worse. I will never play here again... even if it was 50 bucks.

Dawn tee time. Beautiful time to enjoy the course

Booked early morning tee time on an app. As I was visiting from out of town and had meetings booked for most of the day.

The tee time was before sunrise. A bit too early actually. Sunrise was 6:42 . By about 6:25 it was possible to see well enough to play. The course is beautiful in the early morning.

Conditions were quite good. Many continuing efforts at repair and maintenance on fairways during off season.

Better care needed

Great greens but fairways have tons of work needed and muddy spots.

Lots of trash that can easily be picked up!

Many tee boxes are not even trimmed. This was terrible to me!

The guy in restaurant needs simple retraining in just being nice! Not sarcastic.
