Golf Course Condition

This course is in dire need of a greenskeeper..The fairways are now in horrible condition, almost like it has never seen water. Greens were in pretty good shape a couple months ago, but they are getting in pretty bad shape now. Pace of play on a Sunday afternoon was pretty good, but maybe that’s because people are starting to play other courses.

First, for the price it’s a deal. If you are after groomed to 3/4 “ fairways with beautiful over watered grass throughout the course you will not find it here.. It’s a muni course for Gods sake. Go play Bonita if you are after longer grass on the fairways and players playing from the tips driving it a full 175,or spinner drives into the other fairways.

Secondly, the pace of play can get brutal as there are a lot of people walking to chase there balls..If I want to exercise I will go the gym..Bammm

The staff is friendly and accommodating ..

Have not played Chula Vista in a while so, gave it a shot today. My golf buddy and I were extremely disappointed with the condition of the course. Slow bumpy greens and bare patches in almost every fairway. Course needs a lot of work!

Excellent buy

The greens are in excellent condition. I wish they would have said something about aeration in most fairways. Quite the amount of plugs everywhere which in turn can interfere with your ball play, just be aware. The pace was pretty good for a Friday.

Chula Vista Municipal

This course is a goat ranch. It is in the worst condition of any I’ve played in many years. At $43 for two, it is overpriced. Most of the “fairways” are weeds and dirt. Most of the sand traps are unrated. The greens are acceptable but overall the course is so substandard I would advise people to pass.

Much improvement on the greens, and it looks like most fairways are being aerated.

Great Saturday

CV golf course it’s not a easy course bring lots of golf balls, but it’s very friendly if you hit the fairways, it’s very long no matter what color T’s you play white, blues or black

At the end of the day you will feel like you are a great golfer if you only lose 3 balls, hole 9 par 3 it’s crazy very challenging

Hit straight

Windy weather
Used cart

Add a foot wedge to your bag

Good layout...with good tee boxes and good greens...not great....not fantastic...just good. Fairways are sad. Even if in the dead middle...you can be laying in bare spot or depression due to clumps of alien "stuff"....so....just don't play it down and be agreeable with bumping the ball to a suitable lie.

Bad Conditions

A month or so ago this course was pretty decent, but it appears that perhaps they're trying to conserve water for the hot days ahead.

The greens are still pretty playable, but the fairways are turning to dirt for the lack of water. It's a shame, because I like playing this golf course and the friendliness of the staff. So I will look somewhere else until the golf course comes back to a better form.

Tried to upload some pictures but it won't allow it.

Hi, Pablo7216916. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recovery the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. We hope to see you again soon.

no excuses

the fairways are poor at best...greens good...tees average to good....nothing less that taking a plow blade to these fairways and mixing with tons and tons of new mulched soil will help these fairways....they are rock hard with about as much dead or bare ground as there is good turf...the only way this is a good deal is getting a cart and green fee for 20 or less...otherwise I will not waste my time again
