It's fun and worth attention

Designed and built by Billy Casper. Greens are in great shape. The Fairways are in the process of getting repaired. Tee boxes are green, but need leveling. It is a tight course and does not favor a way ward bomber. The wind plays a factor so always consider the weather. I played during the holiday season so lots of groups of once a year golfers. The previous weeks the pace was fast. The front 9 play easier, but the back can be brutal if you don't know the layout. The back has many hazards you can't see off the tee box. Actually, there is also a lot more waiting on the back 9 because there are many hazards to carry. Play close attention to hole 11 and 14. It may not be the best course, but the layout is amazing. Walkable, but they have plenty of carts.

Rough conditions at best.

Conditions were rough at best, with more dirt and dead grass than not. Paired with long hole after hole it began to get ridiculous. Also pace of play was definitely a problem with two even sometime three parties backed up at a tee box. Staff was very kind, with maintenance being quick to fix a broken cart and margaritas were enjoyably made. Would not recommend to a unfortunately.

Great greens, bad fairways & rough.

It was 37 degrees when we teed offf on 11/27 at 6:30 AM adn there was a lot of FROST in San Diego!!!. No wind so not as tough as it can be. We rolled the balll everywhere on the cours as the conditions are rough at best. However, the greens are great. It is an amazing contrast between the greens and other spots.

Good greens for a muni, terrible fairways

4 stars based primarily on the value for the money. If you don't mind bumping your ball in the fairway (due to the fact that large areas of most fairways have no grass), then this is a great deal. The greens were very good for the price, not bumpy at all. Pace of play was terrible, so make sure to play as a foursome.

Priced right

Even though the fairways are always in need of maintenance you can usually find a decent surface to hit from. The sand traps are excellent!

We all know what this course is and for all the play it gets, it is getting better, at least the greens are, bare fairways and tee boxes are the norm.

$12 hot deal. Greens were absolutely fine. Course was quiet. Tee boxes were ok enough..Fairways are patchy, but about 50% of them are good enough. Overall for the price it was good value & we enjoyed our round.

CV golf course

The green is coming along- keep it up

The fairways need a lot of work, you rolling a dice if your tee shot will find a grassy areas.

There is no difference between the rough and fairway.
