About
Located north of San Diego in Carlsbad, Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is a legendary golf and wellness getaway in southern California. The resort, which opened in the 1950s, has hosted 37 elite PGA Tour events. The Champions Course features a serene setting that meanders through peaceful wetlands over landscaped bridges and rolling hills. The course underwent a significant renovation in 2011 by Steve Pate, Damian Pascuzzo and Jeff Brauer, which included four brand new holes and improved irrigation and soil for improved course conditions year-round.

Champions Course is in good condition
Despite the ambiguity of some of the recent reviews, the Champions course is in good condition. The greens may not look it, but it is rolling smooth and quick. It's bent grass so they're firm, but unlike Torrey North, rolling quick. Tee boxes can be a little rough, unless you tip it out. Fairways were a little dry, but still green and soft to hit off. Pace of play is great. Again, this is for the Champions Course!
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course!
Don't go!
Course is in terrible shape. Greens are diseased,
bumpy, slow and bad shape. Fairway doesn't have much grass and surrounding area are not well kept. It should be under $100 to play. Use to ve awesome.

Love Playing La Costa Champions
Beautiful day, course was in good condition and the greens were rolling well! The greens on the Champions course are much better than Legends right now. Will definitely be back to play the Champions course again!!

Love Playing La Costa Legends!
Beautiful day! Course is in good condition, but the greens were in poor condition. Looks like they were recently punched, still recovering so the greens were a bit shaggy, slow and bumpy. Love the course, will be back and hopeful the greens will be in better condition next time!
Thanks so much for the review and for the 4 stars! The greens will be healed soon and in pristine condition. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course. Thanks for choosing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course.
What Happened?
I haven't played these courses in 10 years and thought I would head out to Legends on Memorial Day. What has happened to this place? Looks like golf has taken a back seat to other amenities at the resort.
With the course conditions, this place should not be priced over some public tracks. From tee to green the place looks like Dad Miller or Willowick. Not to be critical of those courses, they are not charging 150 - 250 to play.
If you are coming to this resort for golf. Skip it, cancel the reservation and go to Ojai Valley Inn and Spa!
Way overpriced course!!
Cheers

Greens are destroyed!
We played on May 22 at a price of over $200 only to find out that they had punched all of the greens and you could only drive on the fairways on odd number holes. Despite the course being in such horrible condition, they still want the price they are charging! Pathetic. Golfers be warned. We played at Encinitas Ranch down the road for half the cost and it’s 100% a better course

Punched greens
Paid 100.00+ ea for 2 at 2:40 no mention that the greens were punched (macro). Not very happy :(
