Chula Vista Golf Course

A slow round was tough with the thin fairways. Long, challenging but needs fairway work and better pacing for the tee times

Pace of play was incredibly slow, close to 30 minutes a hole. Golf cart had a visibly bent frame and pulled hard when the steering wheel was not held with tension. Entire fairways did not have grass. The greens were in bad shape, and rock hard. I left after 9 holes which I absolutely never do, but it was not worth another 4 hours to finish the back 9, especially when a shotgun start tournament took over the course while I was on hole 8, so it would have realistically been more than 4 hours. Worst course I have played in San Diego for pace and quality, and I have played nearly all of them.

My group walked off the 9th green at 1:50pm after teeing off on-time at 10:40am.

The grass on the greens seem to overrun with poor grass. The food service seems non existent.

I wanted to give it a chance after reading the posted reviews but I was still extremely disappointed, even for a cheap muni course on a weekend.

First off, the office couldn’t seem to nail down when my tee time was, gave me another than what was booked and the proceeded to call me 15 mins early to tee off. When I apologized for not being there and trying to state my case of the mix up, the starter proceeded to tell “don’t complain” in a condescending tone.

There’s dirt in the fairways, hard to find a patch of grass. One hole had two giant puddles of water right in the middle of the fairway. The group behind us was playing as a 6 sum and the groups in front of us were stacked. There were 5 groups stacked on 2 holes. After 2:45 of a front 9, I packed it in. You couldn’t pay me to play here again.

Little to no grass on the fairways. Greens were in good condition

Love the layout and location, but the fairways are full of dead spots and much of the “rough” is dirt.

The starter gave us a hard time about pace after a bad tee shot on 1, and was quite rude, but we proceeded to wait on the tee before every subsequent hole. To improve pace, they need to go out on the course and identify slow players instead of hassling mediocre golfers who go straight to their ball.

Fairways had massive dry spots. Aside that, the course is very wide open. Great for beginners! Got a great package deal thanks to the GolfNow app!

For a muni.course Chula Vista is doing a poor job. No french fries. Nice hosts, bunkers ok. Fairways suck.

It’s a joke you have to spend $40+ at this course. Easily the worst kept golf course I’ve experienced. It’s essentially just dirt with some patches of grass. Would really wish they invested in better maintenance

Course in extremely poor condition. Fairways looked horrible. Needs grass

Bad management all around. Greens are bad, fairways are worse! It was 7:10 am, they over booked when they have two tourneys going on. Cart lady was nice

Overall the course is good, the greens are great… fairways were just not great in many places, bad lies, but really enjoyed this overall and staff great

My tee time was at 2:50 PM. I showed up at 2:35 and there was 7 people waiting in line inside the pro shop and another 8 people waiting at the first tee box. I think, “oh maybe they will have me start with the back 9 to keep pace reasonable.” No, they did not. Instead everyone just teed off with whoever else had the same tee time… for me, there were 7 of us with a 2:50 tee time and about 10 gentleman behind us with a 3:00 tee time. It took us 2.5 hours to play 5 holes because the group in front of us played so slow. I left at this point. Not to mention, hitting the fair way is like hitting the cart path. Have golfed here once before and was a very similar situation. Will not be back. Spend the extra money and play somewhere nice like Carlton oaks or singing hills. Trust me.
