Please fix your FAIRWAYS

Right up front - these fairways are in POOR condition. With all the rain we've had this winter, how is it even possible your fairways are bare dirt?

Pace of play was excruciatingly slow. It was Easter Sunday and lots of open tee times, yet it was backed up so bad, it took me 5 1/2 hours to complete

The good -

Challenging course, well designed for a municipal course.

Staff was EXCELLENT. 2 Ambassadors of the course, Richard, and Jeff very helpful! Snackbar staff very friendly.

Please fix those fairways and backups so I can want to come back

Sunny Chula Vista Ca

It was a lot of fun playing a new course. The reason I rank speed of play lower, there was a tournament in front of us, we caught up with them on the 5th hole and we waited every hole after that. But it was a beautiful day. Had great players with us. And the refreshment cart made frequent stops AND VETS got free beer.

Good for the money, pace of play is good, but there are a lot of dry patches on the fairway and around the greens.

Run away

This course is nowhere close to a golf course. Might as well call it a park with the horrible conditions. Please don’t play here please.

disappointing

If you dont live in the area dont play this dog track. Poor fairways,dirt in the bunkers, and a need to just maintain a good golf course. Very slow play. All in all a waste of money and a long drive from San Diego.

Good design.

Fairways need soil conditioning and reseeding.

Great facility in good location.

With fairways repaired 5 star facility.

This Course Was Great

This was a nice course very forgiving fairways and lots of troll lll opportunities to make a great shot. I’ve recently been looking through reviews before going to a course as anyone would and I’d like to add that the greens were clean and the tee boxes were pretty good. No complaints. All thought would have been cool if the staff hooked it up with a cart during the raining and windy day. Just a little extra goes a long way!

Great course I have played it for 22 years friendly staff with Johnny and gave in Pro shop. Greens are spectacular.

Weather conditions, newest, tough, rainy, windy, hail, greens are fast and spectacular, which is the key to a good golf course Johnny and Gabe in the pro shop or super cool guys Chula Vista is a very competitive golf course. Love it.

Nice course but during the rainy season

We enjoyed the course but we were rather annoyed how backed up hole four became. It looks like they invested well in the greens. The rest of the course was okay but we okayed during the rainy season. One of the randos in our group said it’s practically unplayable in the summer as the fairways dry up and die.

Good facility. Needs Fairway reconstruction.

I always have liked Bily Casper designs.

Good site and open fairways But you are forgiven on a drive a little off center....watch out on the approach shot.

You have to be precise to set up a birdie.

Course needs a long term plan to shut one hole at a time

replace turf in fairways. Plow and treat soil reseed place a pitch hole to existing greens should not be a inconveniece for players.

With repaired fairways this would be an excelent public course.

. Casper really didn’t do much at Chula other then living close by as HM Rainville and son did all the work. Same happened with Torrey in the 70’s. Casper name was on the redesign but it was all David Rainville.

It was ok...........

the best thing i thought was the greens, kinda fast so don't hit it that hard to cozy it up to the hole. Fairways are a work in progress i guess, had a lot o dirt lies. Pace was good for CV, did it in 5 hours, even with a tournament in front of us!!!! Had a good day even with a high score....

Six hour round!!

Our 1030 tee time didn’t tee off until close to 1100. Pace of play can be slow on the weekends but not finishing un til 430 is a joke. No Marshall to be seen, cart girl seen once, how can you schedule a tee time at 1030 and barely finish before sunset?

I love this course for the layout and conditions but management needs improvement.
