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.

La Costa Legends
Staff was very friendly & helpful. The greens were pretty bumpy & sand traps were too compacted. Tee boxes and fairways were okay, but not great. Very pretty course but the recent aeration affected the quality of play.

The Better Layout of the Two
Champions is the preferred course layout over Legends, IMO. Fairways were great, the greens were rolling pretty smooth. You don't feel the repetitiveness of the Legends holes.

Champions Course at Omni
The greens were in bad shape. They look like they were punched recently. They need a few weeks to recover. Faculty and staff were great.

So much potential
This course could be great, but it's just not. Terrible greens and tee boxes look like sand traps. I really wanted to like it, but it needs a lot of attention.

CARLSBAD LEGEND
This was my second round at Omni Legends in 2021 and each presented a different experience. In my first attempt, I was paired with another friendly single who was also playing for the first time. We played the combo tees and enjoyed our morning round without too much trouble or too many highlights. For this September round, I booked a full foursome of friends and we had a great day at Omni. My round got off to a brutal triple-triple start but settled down from there. The course starts with a variety of par 4s and tests your approach game right from the start. All of the par 5s are uniquely scoreable and the finisher on each 9 helps add some excitement to the round if there is any money on the line. Omni Legends may be my favorite course in the Carlsbad area; much more fair and straightforward than Crossings or Encinitas Ranch. Legends will reward you if you are striking the ball well, but will penalize you if you are struggling to keep it straight off the tee.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course.

Excellent Condition
We played the Champions course on Tuesday and the course conditions were fantastic. The only area that was below standard was the bunkers. While raked, they were still rock hard under a thin veneer of sand) and nearly impossible to escape cleanly.
I highly recommend the course at this time. (Just stay out of the bunkers!)

Needs some Attention
Course layout is nice. But the condition of the course is poor. It looks under watered. The fairways and rough are very patchy, The greens are inconsistent - one is fast, the next slow, and also, they are very rough, with lots of sandy spots, etc. they just looked in really poor condition. I won’t be back here.

Great course!
Played this course several times and always like the layout and practice facility offered. The course overall is in good shape. The bunkers can be better. Can't wait to see the outcome of the renovation planned for later this year.

Legends
Poor fairway, rough and tee box conditions. Greens slow and also in poor condition .
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course. We hope to see you again soon.
