Omni La Costa Resort & Spa - Champions Course

There’s such a difference between the two course, that if you choose wisely, you’ll play a SD gem,. Yet, if you choose poorly, you’ll wish you were a goat so you could have at least eaten with the price of admission... Good luck

Entire course was in great shape, sadly the greens were not just sanded, they had very large pebbles on them. Nobody informed us of the sanding on the greens, and we were highly disappointed. We wouldn’t of went as played there at all whatsoever in those conditions. Irritated with management for no update on course conditions.

Well finally played the Legends course at La Costa. It was in excellent condition like you would expect. The greens were quick and the holes seemed small, tough to make puts. Play it if you get a chance, I will be back with other players.

course was not in that great f shape and there is no sand in any of the bunkers!

A birthday round - first tee time - played under 4 1/2 hours in a 3some and we let a group through (another 3some) on the turn! Greens were quick but true, fairways more than fair, not too punishing rough - fun layout with very beautiful scenery (lakes, creeks, old big trees). Many holes run next to or in between housing, never was an issue. Enjoyable round with a great practice area (range, greens, etc.) Bar and restaurant looking over pool and course after the round.

Staff extremely helpful. Tee boxes are wide & even. Fairways in good shape. Greens not consistent, some are slow, some are fast. Otherwise, our 4-some had a good time.

Southern California suffers from a lack of quality golf courses for the amount of people who live there. Which is why you go to a place like La Costa in order to play a nice track when you can't get on Torrey Pines. Overall I thought it was a mediocre experience. Not bad, mind you, but nothing outstanding. The course is in fine shape, albeit the greens are recovering from a punching, but there's nothing really outstanding about the place. The routing is adequate but, like the surrounding villas and apartments which are showing their age, the course struck me as dated and in need of something to make it greater than the generally flat track with numerous hazards which are more distractions for the eyes as they rarely come into play for most golfers under a 13 handicap. GPS on the cart failed and it had to be replaced at the turn. Otherwise the staff was good, the starter was a pleasure, and the pace of play, despite the group of hackers in front of us, turned out to be adequate as we finished what should have been a 3.5 hour round in 4 hours. Again, the choices in this area are limited but for $145 this was, unfortunately, an average round of golf.

Outstanding fairways and greens. Overall the course was great!

One of the best courses I have ever played. My only complaint is the bunkers need better sand. They were basically hard, muddy dirt. I will definitely be back.

Played "Champions" course before but this was the first time on this side. Wow! I was challenged.

The condition of the sand traps was terrible, they were hard and wet, you could not play a conventional sand shot where you could blast out you had to try and pick the ball out. Overall the course was a good layout and test.

Played Legends course. The fairway and green is in good shape. The pace is excellent for weekend round. Will come back to play champion course next time.

Staff was friendly and helpful.
Fairways were lush with a few thin spots here and there.
Greens were firm and fast but also thin in spots.
