Do not play here

2 hours behind schedule when we arrived. No carts available. Ranger and starter were standing in the cart garage talking instead of doing their job. They were letting groups of six play.

Staff friendliness.

Normally, your staff behind the register is quite friendly. However, today the Asian man working behind the register was completely rude and refused to answer questions I asked him. It was as if I was bothering him by being there. The golfers here in San Diego can play mini other golf courses. Perhaps you should have a conversation with him.

The pace of play today was quite slow for your golf course. We all know it is the holidays, but the Marshall never came around to keep the pace of play.

Aside from that, the course is playing nicely. A suggestion: you should put sod in the bottles for us to repair your course when we take divots.

Great staff, poor clientele behavior.

Got stuck behind a 8 man scramble... on a Saturday, pretended to not be a scramble, yelled at us on the tee box, when my twosome joined in w the group in front of them, they called the clubhouse. The staff took action, spoke w both groups and concluded we had done nothing wrong however the group behind us that was playing scramble was screaming and yelling like children. We were able to continue w no issues, I’m just let down by the display or respect and ettiquette of the group behind us. The clientele here is one of a kind, but the staff handles it well, and great price.

1st Time Here

Course was fun, but is in need of some money. Sand traps are missing sand, tee box and fairways are in need of some love, and greens could use more attention. But overall, was fun and worth the money spent.

Poor service and rip off

I booked tee time for $49 plus tax single player with cart as advertised on golf now but when l got to the pro shop they said it was $59 for single rider. The guy at the shop was rude and didn’t care what the online advertising aid verses what they charge when you show up. What a rip off $59 is not worth the course. Just plain bad service

Don't waste your time or money

Poorly managed, not easy to navigate, and not a place to play if you have any other options.

Suggestions

I played here several times last week. The greens are fast and rolling very nice, stay below the hole. Most tee boxes and fairways are adequate. The bunkers are bare dirt which is a glaring defect. You’ll be happier if you treat them us Ground Under Repair and just take a free drop no closer to the hole.

Suggestions to management:

1) I played here a few days last week but the hole positions never changed from day to day. They used to be moved every day. I’m inclined to play elsewhere next week just because of this.

2). The last 4 times I played here there was no divot mix in the carts, just empty bottles. It sends the message that you don’t care about the course and probably contributes to golfers not fixing ball marks on the greens, driving where they shouldn’t, etc..

Worst Customer Service I Had At A Course

The Clubshop Worker was one of the rudest, inconsiderate, and elitists I’ve encountered on a course. First and last time playing here. His name was “Peter” - seemed like he was making that up but his ignorance will deter me and friends from ever paying money here again. The course was fun, interesting layout, challenged you off the tee - “Peter” was reason enough to say “no thanks” for a second attempt

Border Oaks Golf Course

Check in personal very rid and not at all friendly, charged double for cart rental than month before with no notice of upcharge. They let people out inside 10 minutes apart and was a very slow round of golf. Course appears to have had none or very little attention and had many bad spots in fairways and greens, cart paths were mostly dirt and some areas dangerous if not taking very slowly. All and all a very bad experience, even the course marshall was complaining about ownership not doing anything to improve the course. I will not be playing there anymore unless ownership changes, and will tell all my network of golf friends not to go there as well.

Don’t book as a single with a cart

Golf now shows single books with a cart at $49 but when you arrive they will charge you $10 more for not having a second player in your cart. They would rather lose $49 then let you ride alone. BS
