Very poor condition

The course is an interesting layout but some of the holes are blind shots with no way to know if you are clear to hit. The fairways are in very poor condition. Some of the greens are very small and greens difficult to keep the ball on the green from a distance. In addition, some of the carts are in poor condition. The landscape is interesting but we were disappointed with the condition. Pave if play was also very slow.

Blind man's bluff

Nice terrain but way too many blind tee shots. Greens and tees were in good condition but fairways were un fair way. Bumping the ball is necessary. Washed areas on sides pose numerous lost ball situations. Course knowledge is uber important to post any type of normal score. Second round there....last time had locals who aided me with shot direction....this time alone I lost a few balls simply not knowing where I could hit it. If I go back I will play from the front tees where you can see where you need to hit the ball in order to find it.

Much better than expected

Based on reviews, i expected no grass on fairways. For those complaining, go pay $100 elsewhere. Its a desert style course. The first 150 yards from the black tee box is dirt/sand so if your playing from dirt, maybe tee off from the blue, white or red tee box so you can land on the fairway. This track is so interesting and djverse, you'll love it. At this price, golf now booking, you cant go wrong.

One of North County's hidden gems.

This is my local course, I live about 15 minutes away and play here at least once a month. This is a great course for the money and the owners do a good job of up keep. I would definitely recommend this course.

Some fairways are a little dry, and you'll find the occasional dry spot on the greens, but overall the course is in good condition. The scenery is nice and the weather is usually fantastic.

Jack the Marshall is awesome, he keeps everyone moving and is always kind if he needs you to let someone play through. I've had a bad experience with the female Marshall, but maybe I just caught her on a bad day.
