What you see is what you get

Fairways are very thin, tee boxes damaged and spotty, more weeds and grass in many fairways but for the price and the condition of the greens can’t beat it

Slow play

The pace of play was beyond slow. We arrive at the first tee at our tee time and there were two foursomes and a two some waiting to tee off.in front of us. We paid for eighteen but only golfed nine because of the slow play.

Mixed bag

Love the greens. Very obvious 99% of the maintenance money goes toward the greens. Fairways are in mostly poor conditions. Pace of play was infuriating because we were stuck behind 2 fivesomes playing the wrong tees for their skill level. Used to play this course a lot many years ago. They never used to let fivesomes out after 7 am. But American Golf has always been about the money, not the experience. As long as you go in knowing that, the course is fun to play.

So crazy and busy I didn’t even check in

To be fair, I’ve never actually played the course. It may be amazing and my rating is useless, but when I pulled into the parking lot there were guys standing on the back of moving carts drinking beers and one pulled right in front my car. Couldn’t find a parking spot and there were tons of people all over the place. Was looking for a quick quiet round, so I just left and went to my local driving range. I’ll try to play here again, but it was a madhouse.

Worse Course in Southern California

The City of Chula Vista should be ashamed to own/run this flat course in such a lousy condition. Tee boxes were a disaster in all respects. Not one fairway was void of bare spots, mud, and standing water. Greens were bumpy and uneven for speed. Cart paths were full of water and mud up to the hubcaps. Cart charge is an outrageous $15 per person, making them the HIGHEST in the county. The practice putting green is a sloping joke. It would not be a loss to see this course converted into low income housing.

Conditions have improved but pace has gotten worse.

A wonderful municipal course with conditions improving daily. I try to replace every divot and tend to anything I may do on the course, the staff is freindly and is taking care of the course. If everyone tends to divots this place will be amazing soon. The problem is pace of play, can not say why the pace has been so bad but it has.

Slow Pace

Pace of play is way too slow and there is no one to let the slow players know to speed it up.

This as been a problem for some time with this course.

I like to play here but sometimes I just leave in the middle because the pace is sooo slow!

Good overall

Greens are in great shape, honestly better than some courses that are twice as much money to play.

Layout is good, fair and pretty open course.

Starter was very friendly

Fairways are decent

Tee boxes need some work

Pace of play is awful though, fivesomes with elderly golfers, not the fastest of players.

I guess I need to play it on a weekday for a faster round.

Overall it’s a good course
