Poor Course

The grass is not kept well. Tons of dirt on most holes. 2 of the par 5s were in maintenance and played as part 3. I didn't like using my clubs on the solid dirt after striking the ball. And there were 3 different groups of players that just skipped around and played any hole. Like how did people just appear halfway on out hole suddenly, 3 different times!!!

Course Under Renovation

Love this golf course. Several holes under renovation, but the price and friendly staff, can’t be beat. A few holes were being worked on, which changed the distances of the holes. Overall I was playing golf and enjoying the round for sure.

I recommend to Go Play this course.

Course has more dirt and gravel than grass.

Greens were the only thing that weren’t completely dirt and might have been the slowest greens ever. Played on a weekend and had to pay over $60 for a cart. Just really not worth it and a super slow round, almost 6 hours.

Windy weather
Walked

Great value walking twilight, challenging layout & wind, improving conditions

Great value walking twilight, challenging layout & wind, improving conditions. They're laying new grass in a few key fairway areas. Greens are good right now. If you've never been here I'm sure you're put off by the poor reviews but it's a no frills, inexpensive course with a tough layout and good for walking. Off course amenities are lacking, the range and balls are terrible, snack shack has good selection of beverages not much else but I still like playing here. Have fun.

Absolutely Atrocious

This was far and away the worst golf course I have ever played, and I'm not one to limit myself to "good" courses. To the contrary, I rarely play anything other than muni courses like Balboa and Mission Bay. Those courses make Chula Vista look like Pebble Beach and Augusta. The fairways are often completely barren of grass, so you're rewarded with a good drive with a second shot off of hard pan dirt. After a few holes, everyone in the group started kicking their ball over to the nearest patch of green. Really nothing good to be said of this course aside from price, and the greens are notably the strongest part of the course. Still, this will be the last round I ever play here unless there is a dramatic turnaround.

Course in ROUGH Shape

While the greens were in decent shape, the fairways were almost nonexistent. Drives down the middle might end up on dirt patches. Have never played a course in such poor condition.

Horrible management!!

I booked a tee time tine today in the am and it turns out they have a tournament at the same time, no heads up or warning about it, was able to book tee times at the time of the tournament. The players who were already playing got kicked out of the course for the tournament to start. Horrible management ruined a lot of peoples day and they couldnt care less.
